Athgira River Camping - Udawalawe

We had a brilliant time. The staff were very helpful and attentive. The accommodation was amazing and on a beautiful setting next to the river. Plus, the Safari was definitely a highlight of our hole trip. Thank you.

We stayed in the delux tents facing the main river. We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed every day. Rooms- large spacious tent with everything you need. Very clean and freshly changed (daily if you wish). Tea and coffee making facilities and plenty of plugs for charging electronics etc, Bathroom- again spacious Has 2 sinks and hot and cold water for showers Supply of soaps and creams Food - variety of food - all good my husband likes spicy food whilst I do not and we were both catered for. Staff- A+ superb team vey friendly and keen to make our stay good. Went above and beyond- the manager is attentive and seen regularly throughout the day - but not overbearing Activities- we went on 2 safari’s both arranged by the hotel. The first one a morning one - an early cuppa and then a fabulous mornings sights followed by a late breakfast at the hotel. The second was a longer one - we were served breakfast by the fabulous hotel team kitti looking over the reserve and reservoir, and then back for lunch We also went to the transit elephant orphanage and a herbal medicine tour where we had a massage We even planted some lemon trees

This place is just fantastic if what you are looking for is a quiet place in nature by a river. The tents are very comfortable, some are brand new others a little tired but wonderfully located. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful as we had improvised our weekend there last minute. Of course we were off season with very few others guests, so can’t tell what it looks like when fully booked but I’m confident the spirit of the place stays the same. The food was excellent and the chef himself was there to make sure everyone was happy.
