Great hospitality and fantastic food. Peaceful location in the middle of the countryside. Organised safari by the team was great. Would go back.

Tents are a bit tired. We were upgraded to a large tent which was fantastic.

We have a very nice stay at this beautifully done glamping tented site. I cannot say more about the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, especially the front of house Indunil and even more especially their chef Chanaka. He took it upon himself to make us a special safari packed breakfast including nicely prepared guava for me when he found I liked it! The tents are quite roomy, clean and comfortable with a fan, light and plug in. Water bottles provided and flashlight for their night nature walk. The dining area is very romantic with bonfire and barbecue nearby. Individual tips are not expected but nice tip for the collective staff at checkout would be appreciated. If you wish to attend there is an evening talk and a night nature walk on the path surrounding the property. Each tent had a nice veranda with chairs and table which makes for a very enjoyable night under the stars. Bring mosquito spray, though we had no problems with them. As mentioned in a previous review their bathroom section is smallish butt efficient with power shower sink and flushable toilet. All in all we had a wonderful visit and can't recommend it more highly.

Big game is a very nice way of spending time in the theme of the national park. The safari tent was more luxurious than I thought it would be with a private bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. The staffs friendliness is of another level and the food was also really good. Since you are very close to the park the area is quiet but the team organizes different activities during the day. I also booked my safari via big game and the naturalist was very knowledgeable which makes the experience even better. I had a great time and would definitely book again!

The staff at Big Game was absolutely wonderful. Everybody was very kind and helpful. The camp gives you a real safari experience. The facilities were very nice for a tent camping. We also really enjoyed the daily activities that were scheduled, the romantic apero aside the campfire and the tasty dinner by candle light. We planned our safari with them and got a wonderful guide who taught us everything about the Wilpattu national park and its inhabitants. Would definitely recommend

In Sri Lankan terms the food was a bit more expensive but still good value.

**A Memorable Stay at Big Game Camp by Eco Team, Sri Lanka** My recent stay at Big Game Camp by Eco Team in Sri Lanka was an extraordinary experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this camp is dedicated to providing a unique blend of adventure, comfort, and a deep connection to nature. The accommodations were impressive. Our tent was well-appointed, featuring comfortable beds, quality linens, and a private en-suite bathroom. The thoughtful details, such as solar-powered lighting and locally crafted decor, added a touch of luxury while maintaining an authentic safari feel. Falling asleep to the sounds of the Sri Lankan wilderness and waking up to the vibrant calls of exotic birds was an experience I'll cherish forever. The staff at Big Game Camp were exceptional. Their warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness made us feel welcome from the start. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystem. Their passion and expertise turned every game drive into an educational adventure. We were fortunate to spot leopards, elephants, and a myriad of bird species, all thanks to our guide’s keen eye and deep understanding of the area. Dining at the camp was another highlight. Every meal was a culinary delight, crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The chef skillfully prepared a variety of dishes that catered to all tastes, ensuring that each meal was both delicious and satisfying. The communal dining area provided a wonderful opportunity to share stories and experiences with fellow travelers. Big Game Camp’s commitment to sustainability is commendable. The use of solar energy, eco-friendly practices, and efforts to support local communities reflected a responsible approach to tourism. This dedication to preserving the environment and promoting local culture added significant value to our stay. In summary, my stay at Big Game Camp by Eco Team was an unforgettable adventure.

The toilet's were a little cramped.

A wonderful stay and unique experience. The tents are well equipped with everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Pleasantly surprised the shower was even warm inside our tent! When heading here, we would advise to arrive as early as possible, as we didn’t arrive until early evening and so had less time to enjoy the facilities and surroundings. If you opt in for dinner you’ll have a delicious 3 course meal - lovely vibe and ambience.

The fan in our tent was very loud, so was more comfortable to sleep without it on. A little hot but nothing too unbearable.

The camp is located in a beautiful, quiet village, with many rice fields around. We were travelling by car, and didn't face any problems in finding the place. The staff was friendly; everybody wanted to make our stay comfortable. We booked a tent and an all-day safari, which was an unforgettable life experience! Especially recommended for families with young children, it's definitely worth it! The food was delicious, and the place around the fire was cosy and well-kept. Because of the location and the concept of the accommodation, you inevitably get in touch with the nature: in the night time we expirienced the total darkness while listened to animals' movement (the best place to sleep!). Definitely one of the most loved places to stay in Sri Lanka.

This was the best one we stayed so far. Amazing room, beautiful location, the dinner setting was extraordinary just like a fairytale, the night walk was super interesting and the stuff really informative about the wildlife during the night hours, the safari next day was DREAMY. Our guide Tharaka was so passionate about his job and 5 hours passed so pleasantly talking with him and exploring the wildlife of wilpattu! I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone!

The best place ever! The staff was exemplary - so kind and you could really tell they love that they do. The tents are literally like a house and have everything you could ever need. The food was delightful and most importantly the atmosphere at this place was absolutely magical! Although it can be tricky to get to this place, it makes it very private and you really feel at one with nature! We went on a morning safari and saw 2 Sri Lankan leopards, lots of monkeys, beautiful birds, peacocks, crocodiles and deer. Great staff, amazing food, loveliest tour guide - honestly can’t recommend this place enough!

Great luxury camping experience on the edge of Wilpattu Game Park. Camp staff were very friendly and wildlife trackers very well informed. The morning jeep safari into the Park through the indigenous forest is amazing, whether you see many animals or not. Just soak in the atmosphere! Food generous and generally good quality.

Vegetarian meals were perhaps a bit overpriced but everything is freshly prepared on site under camping conditions so guess there's a cost to this. Shame that a camp with generally good eco credentials uses kerosene lamps to light pathways and to throw on the fire. Surely solar lamps would be possible?
