The team at Big Game was amazing! We booked because we really wanted to do a safari and that was amazing but we were blown away be everything else! The food was above and beyond what I expected with 4 courses for dinner, 3 at lunch , and a very full breakfast. They list breakfast as continental but it's much more than that. The first tent we were in was fine but we upgraded part way through and really appreciated the extra space!

It started with a bad surprise, for which I would blame Hotels.com as they showed pictures of the Mahoora tents, but booked us in the Big Game tent… a lower standard. Once that issue was cleared, we truely enjoyed our stay… the Mahoora tent is amazing, in a stunning environment. Service is great, candle dinner is amazing… and the safari organization was perfect.

Well spaced out tented accommodation in a glorious lakeside setting. Very helpful courteous staff and excellent knowledgeable guide for nature walks. Solar power and recycling of plastics helps eco credentials. Basic shower facility but ‘does the job’. Food was very authentic Sri Lankan. And what could be better than sitting under a star lit sky eating dinner with a central wood fire! A very short drive to Wilpattu national park entrance. All in all a pleasant comfortable stay. Very good value bearing in mind luxury tented accommodation on Sri Lanka is three times the cost!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was an absolutely amazing experience to stay there. It’s a luxury campsite with large spacious tents. The beds are very comfy and each tent has a fully equipped bathroom including hot water. The campsite is beautiful and is located right in the middle of the jungle, so you can wake up to the lovely sound of birds and insects in the morning. The staff were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel manager is a big fan of David Attenborough and can speak in a very knowledgeable manner about all of the wildlife in the park, it was truly very humbling to listen to him and how much they all cared about conservation. We were very pleased to see that the whole site was very eco-friendly, lots of it was run on solar power, and it was completely plastic-free. They give you stylish glass bottles with clean water in them so that you don’t have to use lots of plastic bottles. In the evening there is tea on the lawn followed by an incredible dinner in a clearing in the jungle. Before dinner a member of staff came to the tent and collected us and then led us through the campsite which was all lit up by lanterns through the jungle and into this beautiful clearing where tables had been set up under the stars. It was truly amazing to sit under the stars and have a freshly prepared meal (the food is included in the cost), and a cold beer after a long day Safari. We had an amazing stay.

It's definitely not a luxury camping experience. The facility is not clean and food is so so. It's not worth for the money we spent. The most serious problem is getting contact with the camp. We want to do a full day safari and we tried all means to contact the hotel - email/phone/whatsapp/hotels.com link but there's no reply. We end up arranging safari through our driver. It's quite disappointing.

A recommander ! Tout était parfait : la tente , le barbecue du soir , la petite marche du soir pour nous montrer la faune , le safari réservé avec l hôtel (125$ pour 2 personnes ), et l accueil .Un remerciement à Kamel pour son accueil et ses services

Its a campsite, If you want a hotel experience dont go here however, For a great stay with a real difference its fab. The staff are really helpful the food was good the tent was great and there were plenty of thoughtful touches, Torch provided, power to charge phones, Safari picnic breakfast supplied even though we didn't use their safari etc. There were Loads of bugs and critters, frogs in the shower etc but Hey, Its a jungle. Take plenty of deet and enjoy it for what it is, we would stay here again.

We stayed for 2 nights in April 2018. Staff were lovely from the minute we arrived. So friendly and helpful. We did the full day safari offered by Big Game Camp which was brilliant. The naturalist knew so much, was really friendly and accommodating. We saw leopards, elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and wild boar, amongst other animals (but I think we were particularly lucky). It was a brilliant day, would recommend. The tent was very nice and spacious and had a comfortable bed and a fan. The bathroom was in a separate ‘room’ within the tent. The shower was just cold water and not strong so probably not one for washing your hair in. Basic but nice. In the evenings we were taken to the campfire for a drink - lovely. Then dinner was outside, romantic. The food was tasty but the main course was disappointingly English on both nights - barbecued meat and fish with boiled potatoes and veg, plus some rice. Drinks were reasonably priced. After dinner it was a little lacklustre as it was assumed we would go back to the tent which was dark with a small light - not ideal at 9pm! But we asked if we could stay at the campfire and have a glass of wine and the staff were very polite and said this was ok. It would better if there was a more lit area to sit in the evening and maybe a bar. Breakfast was better with fresh fruit, toast, roti. Camp was very difficult to find, you had to follow the sign for ‘Eco team’.

6/10

Booked for a night stay due to its proximity to Wilpattu National Park which was nice for the early morning safari tour. Staff were very nice and friendly but seems a bit disorganized sometimes. We also expected a bit more from the condition of the camp itself due to their pricing and marketing as a luxury camp. The camp is only furnished with a simple double bed and an extremely small table with a small lamp which barely light up the room at night. Also encountered a big rat in the attached bathroom in the tent at night because the tent had holes which the rats can enter and this is a bit unnerving for someone who is afraid of rats. The night has a big dip in temperature and therefore was a bit chilly but the only blanket provided was a thin sheet. Had to get up to put on thicker clothes to keep warm.
