bigtravelbuzzYala National Park is the most popular area in Sri Lanka to see leopards and elephants. Staying at Yarra really didn’t get much attention until these cocoon-shaped tented cabins opened last year. This next-level safari lets you camp among elephants and monkeys during the day and leopards at night.
Camping in Yala National Park
Wild Coast Tented Lodge offers three types of accommodation. Cocoon Pool Suite with Pool, Cocoon Suite with Sea Urchins for Kids and Family Cocoon Suite. There are a total of 28 stays in this area. You could call it glamping rather than camping.
The interior of the tent is spacious and beautifully decorated. With furniture and accessories imported from India and Africa, the interior is a dream home. All copper details, harmonious furnishings and even a freestanding copper bathtub.
Yarra Wild Coast Tented Lodge has won multiple awards, including Best New Luxury Hotel 2018. The
tent is eco-friendly and fully covered with canvas on the outside. The air conditioner was also hidden in a beautiful copper cove.
At sunset, wild boars and elephants come to drink in the stream next to the lodge. There are several streams on the property that attract animals at sunrise and sunset.
Dining at Wild Coast Tented Lodge
The dining area is located on a beautiful bamboo porch called the Dining Pavilion. There is also a large swimming pool and Ten Tuskers Bar for cool down cocktails by the pool.
Breakfast offers a wide selection of international favorites, including freshly baked croissants, pastries, eggs, fruit and delicious coffee, can choose Sri Lankan food as well.
For dinner, enjoy a delicious Sri Lankan menu of the day. The quality of their food really amazes you.
Staff will guide you to the dining area after dark to avoid encountering wild elephants. 😉
