Arrive at our lodge any time between 12:00 and 20:00. After a quick welcome briefing you’ll settle into either a cosy double room (sleeps 2) or a spacious triple (sleeps 3), each fitted with hot-water shower, Wi-Fi, power outlets and secure lockers.

If you check in before 15:30 you’ll jump straight into an open-top 4×4 for a sunset game drive in Yala Block 1, stalking leopards, sloth bears and elephant herds under golden light. Guests arriving later swap that for an equally thrilling sunrise safari the next morning—your tracker wakes you before dawn for first entry at the gate, when wildlife is most active.

Back at the hotel after the drive, you can grab dinner at a nearby café.

By 10:00 you’ll check out, armed with stories, photos and a leopard-spotting grin. The Jeep, driver, tracker, fuel, and bottled water are included; you simply cover your Yala park entry ticket and any food or drinks. One night, one unfiltered wilderness hit—maximum adventure, minimum fuss.
