My journey from doubt to delight

The atmosphere was enchanting with palm-roofed tents overlooking a serene river, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation. The staff's warmth was genuine, making every moment even more special! !

The facilities felt dated and the dining prices were quite steep, which may leave budget-conscious travelers feeling wary.

i recently stayed at athgira river camping for a family holiday, and it exceeded my expectations! the safari-style tents were beautifully designed, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. we especially loved dining by the river under twinkling lights, making it an unforgettable experience.

wifi didn’t work in the tents.

not to be dramatic, but my experience was a complete disaster. the tiny fan in my deluxe tent did absolutely nothing to cool the sweltering heat, and let's not even get started on the filthy bathroom. i can't believe an upgrade wasn't offered, as i clearly deserved it. i almost thought of writing a good review, but no way!

Romantic riverside dining under twinkling lights.

We had a fabulous stay in a cozy tent for two nights. The buffet breakfast was outstanding, and the staff was super accommodating, even setting up dinner early for us. The two pools were a nice touch, perfect for relaxing after our safari!

The large camp was lovely, and we enjoyed some nice ecotours around. After a day out, we went to relax by the river while our small dog played. The staff even set up tea and coffee for our early safari, which was a thoughtful touch.

In my wife’s opinion, more activities for kids would be great.

but the buffet was excellent (loved the omelette station! ), and we enjoyed the peaceful setting by the water. staff were super friendly! !

not just a stay, a heartfelt adventure with delightful meals amidst nature's beauty

Our family enjoyed the warm hospitality, comfortable river-side tent, and an unforgettable safari experience. We were truly thankful for the staff's attentiveness during our stay.

Staying in the Deluxe Triple Room at Athgira River Camping, Udawalawe for 5 nights was a fantastic experience. The tents were spacious, allowing plenty of room for comfort. We appreciated the abundance of charging sockets for our cameras, and the food served was quite enjoyable. The well-organized safari tours were a highlight, with us being taken care of during the all-day trip. The staff were so friendly and really want to make your stay special!

No hot water in the tents.

The Deluxe tent was super comfy with a cozy bed and nice linens. Loved the outdoor bathroom vibe! The view of the pool and river from our veranda was a major plus. Only downside? No hot water in the showers, which was a letdown after a long day out.

Just a perfect match for a quick trip in Udawalawe with best value for money ratio. The breakfast was decent, with a small but sufficient selection of fruit. Bring your own snacks for the daytime since there aren't many options close by.
