I am a Wildlife Tracker (Ranger) with over 20 years of experience. We invite you to feel like a part of our family and experience local culture & food while staying with us. You're most welcome to enjoy our spacious garden, have a dip in the river, & a BBQ dinner. The Udawalawe Safari Park is just 15 minutes away. We can take you around the park in our own safari jeep. We would love to know a little about where you're from and with whom you're traveling, before you book. Our family home is within the same premises but not connected to the lodge. Common areas of the lodge, the garden and your room(s). I will be happy to show you around and take you on Safari. My wife would cook your breakfast. She and our two children would not interact much but they are very friendly. Please let me know if you need help with finding transport. We live in a quiet neighborhood were the houses are spaced far apart. Only a few vehicles a day pass by. We can arrange transport to and from anywhere while you're in Sri Lanka. Please let us know if you would like a quote. Cost of safari trips are not included in the price shown here. If you are looking for a place to stay near Ella, ask about my co-hosts' house with a 180' view.
