Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I’ve done a lot of Safaris and seen a lot of Safari camps, and this camp/glamping setup was one of the best. I mean electricity, hot water, and fan.. what’s not to love. By far, the best meal offered was breakfast as I just felt dinner was a bit too basic. I also felt that they could have outlined the price individual drinks. I mean, I knew how much dinner and breakfast cost, but I was a little in the dark as to the rest of it. However, the Safari was very cool, and even though we just missed seeing a leopard, we did see two Sloth Bears, which I’m told are even harder to see. All and all, Ysla Bih Game was a very nice camp

Wonderful out door experience. Well run by Saman. Very comfortable tent with adequate en suite shower etc. Dinner around the fire was straight out of the film Out of Africa. Very good red wine. Didn’t try the white and the food was excellent. The safari was well worth the early start with a stop for breakfast served in the safari jeep. We had a drive and guide from the camp and a guide from the park too. They are amazing at spotting the game. You need at least 2 nights and it is a wonderful family experience too.

service staff was wonderful, but needs quite a bit of training. Staff shift supervisor was much more experience and guest oriented than the Guest Relations manager. I briefly saw the camp manager and there was no sincerity. She was as the elusive leopard. Food was excellent so was the minor staff.

Nice camp. Tent was lovely and spotless. I booked my safari through the camp. The nighttime (afternoon) safari was my favourite. Much smaller area to cover and fewer cars than in the morning. We saw two leopards. One having a nap and another trying to get some dinner. Lots of other stuff to see, elephants, crocodiles. Buffalo, Spotted Deer, Eagles, the list goes on. Would recommend.

Great one night stay with 1/2 day safari. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Lunch and eve meal good. Nice to sit around the bonfire under the night sky. Great morning safari and lucky to see 4 leopards amongst many other animals and birds. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay one to remember

EXCELLENT
We stayed as an extension to my 50th birthday celebrations. When the team learned of this, they wanted to do Wilpattu (sister camp) ... and they succeeded. We did a full day safari with superb driver and guide. Food was excellent. Room was tent luxury. Clean, comfortable, out with nature and lovely views of the stars. The camp manager went out of his way to interact with guests. A real wildlife experience with a real human, personal touch.

Highlight of our Trip!
Highly recommend Big Game Camp! The food is fabulous and included a silver service dinner with a bonfire under the stars. Definitely recommend full board it's excellent value! It's best to book your safari before arrival though as we didn't and missed out on getting a guide. Not that it seemed to matter, we saw so many animals and we were privileged to see a leopard drinking from a watering hole right beside us. The staff are wonderful and can't do enough for you. Loved Big Game Camp!

A glamping experience in Yala National Park!
Was a great stay, with fantastic attentive staff who welcomed us, even though we arrived quite late (around 8pm). Would highly recommend this to couples, friends + families looking to visit the National Park. We stayed only for 1 night, but think its more than enough if you do one afternoon and one morning safari tour. Breakfast was better than average (for Sri Lanka), but dinner was fantastic! 3 course meal (soup, bbq roasted meats with pasta and veg, fruit salad + icecream).

Not Lush as advertised
The camp is quite nice and our tent was adequate but definitely not luxurious.Expensive for what it is . We had cold showers even though it advertised hot showers. The tent was shabby not what I had expected. Staff were lovely. Also could not pay with our Visa travel card and had to drive to. City to an ATM .

Good place but bathroom need maintenance.
In general a good place but our tent had some issues resulting in an ever wet (1+ cm water) floor in the bathroom. For the price of the accommodation, they should take care of these issues. Good service ! Our wildlife safari organised by the camp was great, offered lunch on the safari was however limited.

We booked the hotel very last minutes, but the staff helped me for the meal arrangement and the safari arrangement smoothly so there was no inconvenience and negative comments for the stay! I’d like to come and visit here again.

You can not be closer to nature. It's amazing to listen to the sound of nature especially in the morning. To join the safari is recommended as the game does not provide big entertainment except peacefull tent areas with relaxing hammrocks. The staff is very friendly and caring. The tents are almost like Hotel rooms and perfectly equiped. Dinner is served as BBQ and it is very tasty. Breakfast is offered with fresh fruits. Once you participate to the Safari you are guided perfectly and you also get a nice bush-breakfast. I can recommend the accommodation for a stay of 2-3 days and in combination with a pre-booked Safari.
