Yala is a picturesque district in Sri Lanka known for its stunning wildlife and natural beauty. The Yala National Park, one of the country's most prominent wildlife sanctuaries, offers incredible opportunities to spot elephants, leopards, and various bird species. It's a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and safari adventurers.
Back of Beyond Safari Lodge,Yala, is created as a typical park bungalow with a large open verandah, for dining, lounging and sleeping, with a small enclosed 'safe area' for sleeping and keeping your gear. However, unlike the green painted, brick, cement and asbestos park bungalows we have been inspired by the traditional clay wall and thatch roofed homes of the dry zone to give character to our bungalows.
