Leel’s Safari Cottage

A great stay! Leel is a very lovely and supportive person and the cottages are just based next to his home. They are still quite new with good standards just in the middle of his nice garden (it‘s in the nature, some smaller animals have to be expected). Food is outstandingly good prepared by his mum and wife. Leel also provides great safari tours and transfers at very reasonable prices with comfortable cars. Anytime again!

We would have loved to stay longer!

It was a really nice room and set in gardens.

Stayed at Leel's with my family, including 3 kids. Leel was a kind and attentive host. His mother's cooking was fantastic! Leel arranged a safari tour with Navee, who was great, knowledgable and drove safely. The cottages are simple but clean, with good a/c and hot water. We'd happily stay there again. Or we would even return just for Leel's mom's cooking...

We had such a lovely stay at Leel’s Safari Cottage in Udawalawe. Even though we stayed only one night before our safari, the place felt incredibly warm and homely. Surrounded by trees, it truly feels like a little cottage tucked away in the jungle. Leel was amazing - super helpful, always up for a conversation, and genuinely such a nice person to talk to. His adorable rescue pup Rookie was also a highlight of the stay! The Sri Lankan rice and curry dinner cooked by Leel’s mother was absolutely delicious, and the sweet pancakes at breakfast were unforgettable. Leel also helped us arrange a safari jeep for a very reasonable price and even organised a relaxing massage at a nearby local spa. Everything was smooth, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. Overall, a fantastic stay and one we’d definitely recommend!
