Everything about our stay was great! The property was new and the wildlife photos in each room were taken by the owner! The couple was very sweet and knowledgeable about the area.

Madu (the owner) was a sweetheart! So nice and smiling all the time! She tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible. (sorry if I've spelled the name wrongly) The location of the property is off the main road, so this could be a problem for someone who doesn't have a car. It's not a big distance but at night it's really dark so it could be uncomfortable. The room was very big and clean. Breakfast was a surprise every day as our host made sure we had something new to try. It was delicious, though, so no complaints either.

Nicest family in Sri Lanka and the best food we had on our entire trip. Lovely setting, good rooms, and very helpful.

A lovely new hotel in a beautiful location. The room was excellent value for money. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Habarana.

Very besutiful new acvommodation. The host and his family are amazing, dinner and breakfast fantastic!!

We had a truly peaceful and refreshing stay at Kamatha Eco Lodge, beautifully located within the natural forests of Habarana. The room reflects a traditional Sri Lankan village style, simple yet comfortable, and perfectly designed to blend with the surrounding environment. One of the most memorable parts of the stay was the rich wildlife experience. We woke up to the soothing sounds of birds, and throughout the day we could spot various birds, squirrels, and occasional wildlife around the property. The natural setting creates a calm and immersive jungle atmosphere that is rare to find. The lodge offers an authentic eco-living experience rather than luxury, making it ideal for travelers who appreciate nature, tranquility, and sustainability. The peaceful surroundings, fresh air, and untouched greenery make it a perfect escape from busy city life. The staff were warm and attentive, adding to the overall relaxing experience. Kamatha Eco Lodge is highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking for a quiet, genuine Sri Lankan eco stay.

Hashan and his wife were exceptionally accommodating and truly made our stay memorable! We recommend treating the stay as a "whole package" experience: Accommodation (booked through booking.com): Located near the edge of Wilpattu National Park, the setting was scenic and convenient, making the early mornings for safari so much easier! While basic by Western standards, it’s clean, well-kept, and equipped with essentials like mosquito nets and warm water (not always common in the area and so nice after a day on safari). The delicious, spicy dinners (you have to ask for spice; if you get not spicy it is truly no spice) and cold beer added an authentic touch. We loved the short walk to a nearby tank, where we spotted more animals in the evenings. Safari Experience (we messaged and booked): We did two full-day safaris with Hashan, and his vehicle was perfect—an older model with a drop-down front window, ideal for photography. Sitting close to Hashan made it easy to communicate, and he was attentive to our needs, turning off the engine for steady shots and offering valuable wildlife insights (on other Safari's in Sri Lanka we sat separate to the driver which we found much less enjoyable). We saw an incredible range, from leopards (4 in two days!) to vibrant Bee-Eaters. The whole experience felt intimate and personalized, a true wildlife enthusiast’s dream! Current Costs (as of August 2024): Accommodation (with Dinner): 20000lkr/night National Park Entrance: 21500LKR/day (this covers a vehicle, driver and 2 people) Safari (with Food): 37000LKR/day (including tax for 2 people - in a private safari truck) Note; the above are approximate (we lost our receipt) and to the best of our memory - Hashan; if we're off feel free to correct us in the reply as this sort of info is very useful for people trip planning :D Overall, we can't recommend this experience highly enough for anyone seeking an authentic and well-rounded safari adventure!
