Wild Glamping Gal Oya - Thema Collection

An idyllic place to stay far away from the crowds. The tents are really hotel rooms which happen to have canvas walls and you can switch on an air conditioner if you want. We did a great boat trip on the reservoir in the National park and saw a multitude of wildlife. On our other trip by Jeep we actually saw more interesting birds on the drive to the Park than when we got inside, but breakfast by the waterfalls was lovely. The camp is surrounded by a farm where you can wander around and do our own birdwatching trip.

This is a beautiful place with a fantastic location. The tents are very good and contain everything you need. The staff were all excellent and the grounds and farm are great places to walk around. I nearly gave this a five star but a couple of points set it back. The number of tents has expanded quite a bit since the original pictures, including those on the website. This means that the restaurant and bar area got quite crowded and there were insufficient seats at the bar for the number of guests (probably not helped by two quite large coach parties). The hotel transport also doesn't seem to have kept pace with the expansion which meant we and another couple had to use our drivers to take us to the boat safari. This would have been OK but other guests were on the hotel transport which clearly stopped quite a bit on the way there, so we had to wait an hour for the others to arrive.

Sadly we only stayed here for 2 nights but what an amazing place. Its remote location means no phone service or internet which is great as you can really enjoy the peaceful surrounds without interruption. There's a small bar and restaurant area which overlooks the central pool where there are a number of loungers to relax if you have any down time in between activities. The tents are amazing with everything you need with a spacious outdoor bathroom that fits in well with the self sufficient ethos of the place (the bucket shower head was a nice touch). We stayed in no.17 which was away from the main building but had a great view from the patio area. The site has a small farm which grows all the produce used at the restaurant and has a number of paths you can wonder around as there are plenty of birds to see here. We did a morning jeep safari which was great with a riverside picnic for breakfast (thanks NavinduThilakasiri for the perfect location) followed by a boat safari late in the afternoon. The food here is amazing and plentiful, the staff are great too - always happy and always willing to help. We were sad to leave here as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend it.

We had an amazing 2 nights stay at the wild glamping. The luxury tents exeeded our expectation and predominantly the shower was convenient and eco friendly. We went on the hike to monkey mountain and the boat safari. The hike was quite tough, but the view on top was really worth the effort. The boat safari was good and we encountered an elephant, crododiles and a big variety of birds. Nice to do! Last but not least, the food was great! I think the best we had so far. In addition, the waiters were really trained and knew the rules of conduct. Thank you for the stay and the nice experience. Would love to visit the place again.

We recently enjoyed a 2 night stay at Wild Glamping Gal Oya. The accommodation was very comfortable, the food delicious but what made our stay so memorable were the friendly staff. They were excellent. Our time at Gal Oya was action packed with land safaris and a boat safari. We were sorry that we did not stay longer to enjoy the beautiful pool, more of the tranquil surroundings and great hospitality.

Wonderful and peaceful place. The staff is amazingly nice. The tents are so well furnished and clean. The pool is very nice and the surroundings are breathtaking. Don’t hesitate to ask them for a boat tour or a hike to Monkey Mountain. I 100% recommend this place!
