Both Past and Sam knocked themselves out to give us the best experience possible. Their skills and knowledge on safari gave us more than just a driveby as other operators provide. Food was excellent and accommodation comfortable. All staff were extremely polite and attentive.

“Our 2 night stay with NRLS will be a treasured memory. The luxury tents were set amongst trees to ensure privacy and were well equipped with lots of little extras including a flush toilet and a hot shower, without taking away from the camping feel. The atmosphere was friendly and we quickly felt relaxed and […]

“Staying at NRLS camp is a complete experience. The luxury tented accommodation includes a comfortable king size bed ( air conditioning available in some), with separate bathroom ( hot shower, basin & toilet)- it is well appointed & clean. The tents are private and set amongst the trees (we were visited by several monkeys- which […]

“This is a fantastic experience. The tents are clean and well equipped. The food is authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and was among the best we had on our trip. Meals are communal and the staff are excellent at creating a sociable and welcoming atmosphere. Our guide was Danu. His passion for wildlife was very infectious […]

My family and I spent 3 nights recently at Noel’s camp and it was a fantastic experience. We saw no less than 4 leopard sightings, numerous elephants and lots of other species. Yala National Park is massive with a variety of terrain to keep things interesting. I would recommend going to the see the old […]

My wife and I visited in January, and Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safari was our first stop in a week-long trip. After a 6 hour drive from Colombo, we were greeting at Camp with fresh towels, cocktails in the open air lobby, and then dinner under the stars. The food – wow, the food! – was […]

“Everything about our experience was fabulous. We have stayed in some pretty swanky places on this holiday but the food served to us out of a jungle kitchen was the best. The guys were helpful and really fun to be with. We were lucky enough to see a huge male leopard and lots of other […]

Great food, great guides, great accommodation. Thank you for a wonderful trip – Noel is a great host and very knowledgeable. The campsite strikes the perfect combination of relaxed but extremely comfortable and a cut above!

“Besides being fortunate enough to see a leopard on our first game drive, the entire experience at Noel Rodrigo’s safari camp is outstanding! The camp itself is beautiful, very comfortable, and clean. It’s a small camp, which is perfect for getting to know the other guests, and it’s directly outside the park boundaries, making it […]

While we were a bit unlucky in the leopard spotting – though we did see one for a split second as it flashed across the track, we had a fantastic time at this extremely professionally run operation. Our only wish was that we could have had some more time there. It wasn’t just the safari […]
