Mansala Safari House

An ideal place to stay when visiting Udawalawe National Park. Tiron and his family are very welcoming and helpful. We had 2 rooms and north were spotless, had plenty of hot water and very comfortable beds. One of the rooms had a liaise bathroom which was so cool. We had breakfast and dinner there and both were delicious. I would highly recommend Mansala Safari House to anyone ponding on visiting the area, it really is 10/10!

Deserves all 5 star 🌟 rating, totally amazing place, loved every minute of pur stay, only wish we had booked longer. From the moment we pulled up to the lodge and were welcomed with a handshake and a great smile from Tiron. The place really does look like a Safari Lodge , standing as it is in the Jungle. We were given a huge room with 2 king sized beds - air conditioning- tea & coffee making facilities - large bathroom, we even had a private terrace & balcony with tables & chairs. Woke early and had cup of tea on the terrace. Beautifully quiet and peaceful with only birdsong to be heard , and a squirrel scampering around on the roof. Absolutely stunning place. Tiron the manager/ proprietor arranged a safari trip for us. It was faultless, picked up at hotel on time by one of the hotel’s own vehicles. Very comfortable and we had it to ourselves. Friendly and knowledgeable driver / guide. We had a fabulous evening meal at the Lodge , home cooked Sri Lankan food served buffet style. Large variety of menu items all freshly cooked and hot .Absolutely delicious. The breakfast that was included and was also extremely good. Plenty to choose from - lovely Ceylon Tea . Really enjoyed our stay there. Wonderful value for money- charming hosts and excellent hospitality. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful two night stay with Tiron and his family in his beautiful home. Tiron made arrangements for a brilliant guide/driver to take us to Udawalawa on an unforgettable safari and we very much enjoyed the breakfast and supper meals they cooked for us. Highly recommend.

This charming guesthouse is run by the sweetest family. They were so kind and made our stay very memorable. They loved to chat and answer all our curious questions about Sri Lanka! The room was lovely. It was a good size had good air con and a lovely big balcony. The bathroom was large and the water was hot. The free wifi was great as well. The outside grounds were beautiful with so many huge trees and lots of gardens. The breakfast they cooked was the best we have had - so good and so much! The guest house is very close to Udawalawa Safari park making it the perfect choice if you are planning to visit the park.

Wonderful small house with a/c and fan run by a heartwarming Family, very delicious food and a perfekt location for safaris to see elephants, especially Tiron, the owner, takes care of everything and has a very good and Safe driver

When I first sent Tiron a whatsapp message requesting availability, I didn’t expect an immediate response since there is a twelve hour time difference. He responded promptly every time to my questions. The location is perfect, down a quiet dirt road within walking distance to shops and restaurants. But you won’t want to eat in the restaurants after you’ve had dinner prepared by the family and served on the veranda. Breakfasts are abundant and delicious as well. The guesthouse is family run, and everyone is so helpful and delightful. Our upstairs room had high wood ceilings with a fan and a/c, a large shaded porch and the shower is huge with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Tiron arranged a private safari for us that was top notch, and we were within a few feet of elephants. It’s a beautiful park and not as crowded as I expected. Thank you Tiron and family for the warm welcome and generous hospitality!
