Mansala Safari House is just perfect. The rooms are beautiful, really good quality and spotlessly clean. Each room has a private veranda and it is so lovely to sit there on an evening listening the relaxing music, surrounded by palm trees and the sounds of nature. The owner Tiron and his family have got it exactly right, they are very welcoming whilst still giving you privacy. Tirons wife is a fantastic cook and they can arrange breakfast and dinner for you if you ask. Tiron is also able to arrange anything you need such as transport and of course safaris. Tiron uses 2 experienced safari guides, I had 3 private safaris with Nadeera and he was excellent, very quiet and respectful of the animals whilst delivering an outstanding experience for you. I could not believe the amount of elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and other endemic animals, as well as so many beautiful coloured birds. It is very reasonably priced too. Tiron sees you off at 0545 or 1400 supplying binoculars and water and is waiting for you on your return to make sure you have had an amazing experience. I cannot fault Mansala Safari House at all. I am travelling Sri Lanka alone and have felt very safe and happy here. It is the nicest place I have stayed in Sri Lanka and I do not want to leave! If you are staying anywhere in Sri Lanka THIS is the place to stay and it is...
