Yala Wild House

“We ended up leaving early because it was so secluded. But the host and his family were lovely and we got to live “in the”

The location was very close to Yala, so we saw plenty of wildlife; a pack of monkeys even lived next to our house, and everyone was very friendly. However, the place is quite remote – the nearest town, ATM, and restaurant are 20 minutes away by tuk‑tuk, so most of the time we spent on the property. The host offered to help plan trips to temples and other spots, but it was pricey because you had to rent a jeep for each outing at 15000 lkr.

The hosts were extremely friendly and the food was delicious! Even though communication wasn’t always straightforward, we still had a great time. 9

“Fantastische ervaring; AANRADER!”

We spent three fantastic days with our family in the jungle. It’s basic, but that’s exactly what you expect in the middle of the jungle. Priante is a wonderful host: he took us on a beautiful jungle walk, organized a cozy music performance, arranged a fantastic safari in Yala National Park, and handled transport to our next stop in Ella. He even treated our son’s badly bruised toe with herbs so he could walk properly again. Highly recommended! Nothing at all—just a few minor inconveniences, but that’s normal 😎

“Fully immersive and welcoming Homestay and experience”

This was the top 5 experience I’ve ever had at a homestay. They managed to arrange a full‑day safari for us on very short notice before we arrived. We made a new friend in Hansa, who was our knowledgeable tour guide and homestay host. He and the driver had the expertise to ensure we saw as many animals as possible, including a beautiful leopard (I only have a video of it). Being so close to the entrance and border of Yala let us fully immerse ourselves in the wild. They served unbelievably tasty traditional food throughout our brief stay. The rooms were simple and charming, and the fan worked well enough to make sleeping possible in the heat.

“A very wild and yala-ish place to stay and start your safari.”

A wild, yala‑ish spot that feels more like camping than a hotel, giving a genuine safari vibe. The host is eager to make your visit memorable, so you’ll notice that effort. The only downside was the night without a fan, which made it a bit too warm to sleep.
