We enjoyed a wonderful overnight stay at Makini Bushcamp as part of our holiday in Southern Sri Lanka. On arrival we were served a delicious curry lunch and then set out on our jeep safari around Yala. We were not disappointed, seeing the elusive leopard, many deer, several hares, elephants, peacocks and grey lemurs. We stopped at a lakeside for a drink as the sun set. It was magical. The plunge pool was essential to cool down before a romantic BBQ dinner. The tent was beautiful in its design and fully air conditioned. The following morning we went out on a bush walk with our guide and encountered evidence of elephants feeding nearby, along with other track markings. Fabulous scenery along the route. We loved our short stay at Makini Bushcamp and valued the experience offered.

What an amazing property. Rustic with a sense of luxury, which adds to its charm. Well-appointed tented chalets with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Staff are very friendly and attentive, and the food was lovely. They run their own safaris with each tent having its own private vehicle and informative guide. Close by to Yala NP. Great Sundowners!

- The hosts were very warm and chatty, which really did make the experience - The food quality is very high - The facility itself is very much for nature lovers who aren't looking for luxuries - The safaris were amazing. The guys are so knowledgeable. Both being biologists, you really get informed about the parks and the animals - On the last night they did a BBQ for us which was lovely - We were travelling with an 8 month old and staff were very accommodating. However, in hindsight this kind of holiday isn't suitable with a baby

The place is very rustic and off the beaten track. The service was super and the safari trips were outstanding. Food very good. Would highly recommend if you want a camping type experience. Rooms are air-conditioned. Tea and drinking water provided in the rooms. WiFi available and while not great…better than nothing. The team is passionate about what they do and look to offer a wonderful experience.

We stayed here for part of our honeymoon. It could not be better and was best part of our trip. The whole experience was amazing. We had a private meal for two in the tree tops by candle light. Life could not get better! I would highly recommend to anyone.

Wow! The 20-minute off-road jeep drive to reach the camp was very definitely worth it. A brilliant setting and a real ‘glamping’ experience. The service was exceptional, and the food was the best we had during our two weeks in Sri Lanka - including an evening meal under the stars. We did an afternoon and a morning safari, plus an early morning bush walk. A real highlight of our holiday. Congratulations to the whole team at Makini.

Makini Bush Camp is a true haven for nature lovers. Set amidst the stunning natural beauty of Yala National Park, the camp offers a serene and rejuvenating experience. The rooms are comfortable, quiet, spacious and feature awesome plunge pools. The Safari tour of Yala National Park and the campfire dining experience were a highlight for me. The staff is exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall stay. The camp also has easy access to nature trails in the area which are well worth doing during your stay. Overall, it's a paradise for those seeking a peaceful escape and a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. I will definitely be back in the future.

Enjoyed our stay at makini bushcamp. Chamith and his team did very well in making our stay a very good one. We really enjoyed the bush walk and the guided safari trip. kids enjoyed every bit of the stay. They even helped out to set up a drip irrigation system for the plantation. Food was tasty and was very authentic southern food. Would definitely recommend it and want to return back soon.
