Liebes Wild Glamping- Team vielen Dank für den herrlichen Aufenthalt bei euch. Wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Die Zelte mit Badezimmer sind einfach eine Wucht. Ihr habt an alles gedacht: Regenschirm, Taschenlampe, Klimaanlage, Pool usw… und das mitten im Dschungel. Ihr seid ein wundbar freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Die Zimmer sind sauber und eure Curries mega-lecker. Am nächsten Tag habt ihr uns eure Anlage gezeigt. Es ist schön zu sehen, dass sich ein ganzes Dorf engagiert, dass es ein so tolles Camp geworden ist. Macht weiter so. Können dieses Camp sehr empfehlen für mehr als einen Tag für Wanderungen, Tierbeobachtungen und/oder den Mount Monkey zu erklimmen.

There’s a dozen or so large safari tents, each is pitched and secured to a traditional thatched wood structure. In our family tent there was a large double bed, and 2 single beds separated by a carved wooden screen. Out back is the outdoor loo and shower. They’re the nuts and bolts of it, but that description can’t do this place justice. The beds have crisp white sheets, freshly made every day. There’s aircon, a small fridge, dressing table and an outside Vera da to drink beer and watch the storm. In the central courtyard there’s a fantastic swimming pool to cool down in after exploring the local area. The on site restaurant and bar is a simple affair, but the food is incredible and the staff couldn’t be more welcoming. The food is very good, the portions are huge, but please try the Sri Lankan curry, 5 or 6 separate dishes, all amazing. Also try the chef’s cream of papaya soup, sounds unusual but it is delicious. We spotted mountain bikes out back (didn’t use them) but we did go on the trek guided by one of the indigenous chaps who are closely associated with this property. A couple of hours of really interesting conversations all translated by the in house sustainability tzar. There’s boat safaris near by and a chance to see crocodiles, elephants and water buffalo. If you’ve been in 4 and 5* hotels for a few days this is a lovely counter balance, you won’t regret it. But do bring ear plugs, the peacocks do like to rise early! Ps. There’s no gin and tonic on the bar menu, that’s my only criticism :)
