Jungle View River Camping

La sensation d’être en pleine jungle Le confort des lieux L’impression lodge dans la savane Le dîner délicieux (idem pour ptt dej) L’organisation de notre safari

Rien

Das personal war sehr zuvorkommend und hat sich sehr um einen gekümmert.

Es gab keine Klimaanlage weshalb es nachts sehr warm war.

tout était super : l’accueil, l’endroit, le confort, la nourriture

Our hostess was delightful. She welcomed us with a spritzy lime drink and her breakfast was delicious and fresh. We also saw monitor lizards, squirrels and birds

My kids complained that there was no Aircondioning, but it didn’t bother my husband and I. We liked it just as it was.

Herzlicher Empfang schöner Garten mit altem Baumbestand mit 2 Zelten. Sehr geräumig und sauber. Lunch, Diner und Frühstück waren sehr gut. Wir werden die Anlage gerne weiter empfehlen.

Geweldig verblijf gehad. Super vriendelijke eigenaresse die heerlijk voor ons heeft gekookt! Mooie kamer en tenten. Je waant je echt even in een andere wereld. Jammer dat we maar 1 nachtje hier verbleven!

I truly enjoyed my stay. The two charming huts with glamping-style tents were in excellent condition - clean, and with a private bathroom at the back. It had great wifi, a fan, and electricity. It was great! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They assisted with booking our safari, communication via WhatsApp was easy, and the wife prepared a delicious homemade rice and curry for us. I would absolutely recommend eating there rather than going into town. The location is a bit tucked away (around a 20-minute walk to town), but since there is not much else do to, it’s actually ideal. It’s peaceful, surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Eines unserer schönen Unterkünfte in Sri Lanka. Sehr nette Gastgeber, tolles Essen, hilfsbereit bei der weiteren Tourenplanung. Mitten in der Natur.

Really nice staff, made us welcome drink and dinner when we wanted. Even tough there was a little language barrier they were really trying to communicate and everything worked out well. They also arranged safari for us.

Nous avons apprécié le calme ,la nature.Le dîner était excellent.

En pleine jungle, dépaysement total. La propriétaire nous a préparé un excellent dîner et petit déjeuner ! L’accueil a été très chaleureux.

Le logement n’est pas vraiment à l’adresse indiquée, voire très excentré du centre. Peut être aider davantage aux déplacements sur place pour faciliter l’expérience et découvrir le village.

Le logement atypique dans une tente dans un jardin. La sympathie des propriétaires. Très bon petit déjeuner sri lankais

The lady was kind and also (after some confusion) allowed us to stay a day earlier when we turned up on the wrong day! Food was simple but well made and good value.

Communication was difficult, on WhatsApp, phone and in person. (Fair enough, were English speakers and they're not, but worth bearing in mind). Very loud disco music until midnight (which you don't expect in the jungle). No mossie nets on doors of tents. Accommodation is a little tired and run down, and the pics are slightly more glamorous than the reality (I got done by the pics of tikki lights and fires aha). Place is a little out the way. Our tuk tuk driver went down three wrong streets before turning up at one point. Bear in mind there is little to do in Udawalawe. I'd turn up in the evening, eat a simple meal in and leave after your morning safari if I was you. I think we were out of season as it was deserted. When we needed to speak to the staff or was hard to find them.

Loved it amazing place very clean and very friendly hosts !!

An excellent stay at jungle view river camp. The room was spacious and clean with everything we needed for a lovely stay. Bed was very comfortable and room had a much needed fan. The host was excellent and very accommodating- he organised a fantastic safari for us and our guide even served us breakfast in the national park with a table and chairs overlooking the reservoir. The host also organised a brilliant Sri Lankan massage which was a great way to finish the day after the bumpy safari ride. The dinner and breakfast cooked by the hosts wife was outstanding! All meals were cooked with ingredients grown on his land and it was honestly the best curry we have ever tasted. Certainly the best meal we ate in Sri Lanka! Although the prices are listed in USD on the website, ideally try to pay in the local currency otherwise the host won't get the best exchange rate from the dollars, which we didn't realise. Overall we would highly recommend staying at jungle view river camp.

We've found a hidden gem! I'm so excited to share my experiences about the Jungle View River Camping! The accommodation was so clean and modern. As well as the super cool glamping tent, there was a lovely little terrace where you could chill. The owner was so friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The breakfast and dinner were simply mouth-watering! We also booked a safari through the accommodation, which was an absolute dream!

None

We spent two nights here and Eranga made us very welcome and the accommodation and food were very good. Close to the Udewalawe National Park it's a great location to set off for a safari and visit the Elephant Transit Home where the orphan elephants are raised. We would highly recommended a stay at Jungle View River Camping

The setting is gorgeous, the owners are so incredibly friendly despite a slight language barrier, the facilities are better than basic, everything you need after a busy few days on safari! The breakfast was plentiful, and don’t let the remote location put you off as the dinner made by the host’s wife is out of this world with huuuge portions! So no need to go anywhere else for food. Our safari guides picked us up directly from the property & we had safaris arranged at both Udawalawe and Yala!

Nothing!

Lovely friendly owners/family Very peaceful location Beautiful accommodation Owners arranged a brilliant safari for us the guild was very knowledgeable and spoke good English he seemed to take more care than other jeeps going round and took time to show us animals. The food provided was the best we have had in Sri Lanka

Was very difficult to find the accommodation there did not seem to be any signs off the main road road to show it was down a little path we had to pay the taxi extra due to time taken to find it. It is very out of the way with not much around.

- Incredible value for money - Warm and generous hosts - Delicious Sri Lankan dinner - Great accommodation which is very much more glamping - Arranged an amazing safari

- Nothing; the prices should be higher for the quality of the offering!

The accommodation was lovely as were the family. Food was fabulous.

Slightly out 9f the way location but that was entirely personal preference.

Nice tent house, really friendly and welcoming hosts. We were greated by a welcome drink, the family cooked us a really nice 4 curry dinner. They also helped us organise a safari trip and gave us a king coconut on our way out. We really enjoyed our stay and the whole experience. Highly recommend.

Really nice and quiet place, very nice staff, delicious dinner and breakfast. The tent is very comfortable with a beautiful view of the forest. Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect! Very clean place and beautyful garden and delicious food!

Amazing place with amazing people. So peaceful and the food was fantastic. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thanks for letting us stay here.

Something a bit different while in Udawalawe for a safari! Nice experience, and close to the national park. Nice evening meal, too. Recommended.

Great atmosphere and something a bit different on our Safari Tour at Udawallawe National park. The facilities were lovely as were the staff.

Internet was not consistent. But it didn’t spoil our stay.

Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka! Beginning with a beautiful drive into the jungle like property and an incredibly friendly welcome by Irangan. The tent itself is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean and allows you to have the feeling of being outdoors while still having a complete bathroom. There are birds sounds, and little critters to complete the experience. I would recommend eating at the property as the rice and curry prepared by the family was some of the most delicious we have eaten, you can also try some of the lake fish. So very nice to be able to support someone with a dream and offering such a nice tourist experience.

Nothing, this place was hard to leave.

Food was excellent, staff was very helpful. Great location.

Nothing.

We loved our stay here the facilities were amazing, it really felt like we were sleeping in the jungle but in a secure way! The room was clean and looked really lovely. The hosts were so helpful and the home cooked dinner we had was delicious! We booked our half day Udawalawe national park visit through the host prior to arrival and it was perfect! Highly recommend staying here.

What a great place. The set up is beautiful. Even better than the photos. Great value for money the most beautiful hosts. We stayed 2 night and had dinner there on one night. The dinner was delicious. We saw fireflies at night in the garden. Our host arranged a safari for us. We loved our stay.

One of the neighbours plays their music loud every afternoon into the evening, and it has a loud base. This is not the hosts fault who is currently managing the situation.

Best food I had in Sri Lanka. Lovely and peaceful lodge with comfortable bed. The loveliest family.

Nothing

I don’t know where to begin! Firstly, the accommodation is unbelievable in the jungle with beautiful large (very comfy) beds and stone floors - I personally think it is even better than the pictures. But the best thing about this place is the hosting. Namanthi welcomed us with lovely drinks and cooked the most INCREDIBLE dinners that have been our best food in Sri Lanka yet. The family is so lovely and welcoming. Eranga was not there during our stay but he also was reachable on WhatsApp at all times with extremely quick responses and went above and BEYOND organising us two safaris at both Udawalawe and Yala as well as our transfer onto our next destination. He got this all done for us at a very good price and everything ran so smoothly he made our time here an absolute dream! Could not recommend this place enough ❤️

Hard to say anything negative but the mosquito nets draped over made it a little uncomfortable to sleep rather than being fitted around the bed like other accommodations we have stayed in but this is me being SO picky. :)

What a perfect glamping experience! The tents are built in a very natural but luxury way and we loved our stay there and would go back again… for sure! The camp is located perfectly to make a safari in the close by udawalawe national park though you can also see lots of animals sitting on the terasse in front of the tent! Erange, the owner is very helpful in organizing trips for you… not to forget to mention the exceptionally delicious food, cooked by Eranges wife! The perfect place for a calm and relaxing stay!!!

Loved the tent style accommodation. Big comfortable bed with mosquito net provided and clean spacious bathroom with good shower. Breakfast provided was great and friendly staff

Comfortable staying , friendly & courteous service provided by the owner. Lovely food. Clean accomodation .

Nothing special to say.

The owner was super caring, the location was beautiful, the room was clean and had really good conditions. You can have dinner at the hotel, where the family will cook a very tasty and local meal for you for a very fair price. The place is small and feels like home. We really really recommend this place as it was one of the best places we have stayed in Sri Lanka!

All was amazing :)

The tent is beautiful done with taste , we had breakfast, lunch and dinner and the food was amazing They also arranged our 4 h safari which was perfect So thanks so much again

Very nice, smiling lady, who made a wonderful dinner and breakfast for us. Already because of the food it is worth of staying here :-)

The tents are beautiful and the staff were amazing. It felt like a very special place to stay.

Stayed one night and it’s just absolutely stunning place, tucked away and one with nature. The owner and his wife were so friendly and the food was delicious. They arranged the safari for us at a reasonable price and was just such a great stay. Would highly recommend.

All was fab

The hosts are amazing. And the dinner and breakfast so tasty!! The room is super clean & comfortable, and the garden green and pretty. We would highly recommend to stay there :-)

Nothing.

Great stay in a wonderful location! At night, the animal sounds from the jungle are breathtaking. You really are in the middle of it all, but still safe. Host Eranga is super nice and incredibly helpful. The safari he organised was great. His wife cooked a wonderful dinner.

Absolutely nothing.

Everything was amazing. View, tent,.restaurant, food, hospitality.

very nice accomondation. clean, stylish and great breakfast!

What a beautiful place. We really enjoyed our stay there. The tent is very spacious, with a very comfy bed where we slept amazing well. Surrounded by nature, going to sleep after looking at the fireflies in the garden and waking up with the sounds of the birds... it doesn't get much better. Note that it's hot, there is a fan, but no AC... so it's very hot during the day, fine to sleep at night though. The family running the camping is wonderful, the food is INCREDIBLE!

Nothing really, it would be better with the AC, but I understand that it would be a waste of energy and money in the tent.

great food and spacious tent, close to Uda Walawe game park

the spoken English was moderate

Magical place to stay, literally above a little river, we could see fireflies at night from above (not in the accommodation, from the window) and we fell asleep listening to the sounds of the jungle. Was such an amazing experience that we will never forget. There is also a great Sri Lankan restaurant next door- amazing food.

Breathtaking location in the middle of a palmtree garden, excellent dinner and breakfast, beautiful tent with high standard of interior. Highly recommended!

Eranga and his family recieve and welcome us so well. The property has 2 luxury tents, comfy bed inside, clean toilet. We checked in on new year's eve, Eranga's wife put in a huge effort to cooked us a fantastic dinner. The next day we were surprised again by the breakfast after safari tour. This place totally exceeded our expectations.

Nothing.
