Kulu Safaris - All Inclusive

The entire experience completely exceeded all of our expectations! Not only were the staff incredibly intensive, but they really went out of their way to make the experience something truly special. While it was raining on our original Safari day, staff were quick to shuffle activities to make sure that we still got to enjoy kayaking on the lake and do an early morning Safari before we departed.

The Kulu campground is exceptional, it is a case of “you get what you pay for”. We didn’t eat a single meal in the same location during our 3 night stay, the highlight was proposing to my fiancée via a candle lit dinner on the wharf, breakfasts in the tree house and seeing leopards in the wild. The best thing was the service from the staff led by our guide called Sam. Nothing was a problem, coffees arrived as early as 5am before our morning safari, made my proposal as special as possible and everything in between.

Everything is pure perfection: the staff is super professional and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The food was amazing and the place, well so beautiful it gave us shivers of happiness. We cannot strongly recommend enough! The rooms are spacious and cozy and you see plenty of wildlife all around you. A kayak tour on the lake is a must! The breakfast in the tree house was so gorgeous, one of the best ever! Thank you so much to the whole team!

The staff absolutely make this experience. They are super-friendly and go out of their way to make the experience special, especially around meal time and during the safaris. Nothing is too much trouble.

The tents feel quite outdated and could benefit from a refresh. Lots of bugs & spiders able to get in the room and the AC unfortunately cut-off repeatedly. A communal lounge area to sit & relax would also be really beneficial, especially as the rooms weren't that enjoyable to spend a lot of time in.

Wir hatten einen rundum traumhaften Aufenthalt! • Kulinarik: Das Essen war hervorragend – abwechslungsreich, frisch und mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Besonders schön war, dass wir jeden Abend an einem anderen Ort mitten in der Natur speisen durften. • Service: Das Personal war unglaublich fürsorglich und herzlich. Wir fühlten uns jederzeit bestens betreut und wurden sogar aufmerksam zu unserem Zelt begleitet. • Erlebnisse: Die Safaris waren faszinierend und perfekt organisiert. Dank der Erfahrung unserer Guides konnten wir alle Tiere beobachten – sogar einen Leoparden, was für uns ein absolutes Highlight war. Insgesamt war es eine unvergessliche Reise voller Genuss, Natur und Gastfreundschaft. Wir können dieses Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und freuen uns schon jetzt auf ein Wiedersehen!

Stunning location, and the tent itself was incredibly well appointed with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. I also cannot speak more highly for all of the staff. They made our stay so so so special, from the conversations, the safaris, the knowledge, their willingness to accommodate our needs and the food was INCREDIBLE. Such a beautiful experience which will stay with us for life!

The staff were wonderful in catering for our every need. Food was a highlight. The location was magical.

The safari experience was disappointing, the accomodation was superb in every way.

Superb service, great location, delicious food. We were especially well looked after by Ajith and Rohana. The safaris were very enjoyable due to their knowledge. The lodge is set in an idealistic location. We had meals at different places within the compound which was great. Would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic experiences with amazing staff team. I admire their professionalism, especially when paying attention onto the details. Definitely a recommendation to any experienced travelers.

The staff were super friendly and helpful! Our guide went out of his way to make our safari experience memorable! He even took pictures with his professional camera of the animals and shared them with us! The location of the camp was convenient to the National Park and the food was home cooked. If you’re looking for an authentic local experience look no further! A viewing deck on top of a tree was the jackpot at this place! We enjoyed lovely views over an arranged breakfast. Kayaking was also offered.

The tents were a bit old and shabby with a funky smell; no insect repellent was used so you can imagine what was inside :) Also there was loud music playing all night till a little after midnight… not sure where that came from.

Beautiful stay that transported me away to nature. The camp was stunning, with amazing outdoor meals, wonderful trails, and comfortable and well appointed tents. Beyond the site itself, everyone there was so caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. The safari was AMAZING- fun, educational, and we were lucky enough to spot a leopard and even a jungle cat. This is thanks to a keen eye and ability to know where to go, which was also away from the really busy sites so it felt much more private and enjoyable than expected.

The safari was, without a doubt, the highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka and the absolute best way to experience Yala National Park. Our guide, Pramoth, was exceptional—his deep knowledge of the wildlife and his incredible ability to spot all the animals we had hoped to see (and even more!) made the adventure truly special. What set him apart was how he managed to make the experience memorable even after the safari itself, sharing stories and insights that enriched our understanding. A special shoutout to our driver, Chaminda, who was nothing short of a jungle pilot, skillfully navigating the rugged terrain with ease and adding to the thrill. I cannot recommend this experience enough—it’s a must for anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

My stay at Kulu safari was amazing! The staff are so attentive, a special thanks to Praba…. He made my 2 nights so amazing. The „tents“ (it stretches the reality to call them tents) are so luxurious… fantastic bathrooms Praba made sure that I got my wish to see a leopard. The grounds are so beautiful and peaceful. The food was the best that I’d had during my while holiday is Sri Lanka - both local as well as western! I can highly recommend a stay

We were extremely well looked after by Ajith and Pravda and all the staff. Meals in different locations was a special treat with the highlight being breakfast high in a tree house. Very special. We had amazing safaris and saw many animals and birds but the highlight was leopard. We saw one crossing the road twice but then we found a young male sitting in the forest washing his paws and playing with his tail. We were so so lucky and it was amazing to watch him. And we also saw sloth bear and many elephants and so much more. Just great!

The experience was great but the cost was super high.

The most special 2 days spent at Kulu safaris -if you are ever doing a safari in Yala National Park these are the only guys to go with! Fabulous location next to the park ,amazing game drives with the most gorgeous staff that are so highly trained in wildlife ,best food I've had in Sri Lanka set up at different beautiful settings around the camp site and, fabulous cabins We were treated like one of the family

Really superb experience. Attentive, knowledgeable staff who care passionately about their work. Incredible guides for the safari, amazing food, beautiful setting. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Unbelievable hospitality!

Kulu Safaris is a completely exceptional place to stay in every way and it was the highlight of our holiday in Sri Lanka. The staff are so friendly and go out of their way to make your stay memorable. Our guide, Jeana, was very knowledgeable about Sri Lankan wildlife and a lovely person, we learnt a lot from talking to her on our safaris. We also went kayaking on the lake which was beautiful. The tents are so comfortable to stay in and it's a very peaceful location, surrounded by nature. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious and we were served our meals in different locations around the site, which was beautiful and very romantic. It is expensive, but the safari and other activities is included, as well as all food and drink, and so I think it is definitely worth the money, particularly as Kulu is very eco-conscious and ensures minimal disruption to the wildlife. Overall, I couldn't recommend staying at Kulu more highly, and I hope to go back one day.
