Outstanding and unforgettable jungle experience. Highly recommend.

Loved the jungle, staff were so kind and looked after us brilliantly. BBQ was tasty, safari was fun, the doggies (and their puppies) and Chutti the Sri Lankan squirrel were great company during our stay. One of the team took us on a fence walk and that was great to feel the jungle and feel so isolated.

It was an experience that we didn’t want to miss!

The staff was absolutely amazing. Always friendly, super service-orienteered and helpful with everything. Also the barbecue at night was a special experience.
