Buddika Safari & Resort

A perfect place to stay before safari. Located right by the entrance gate to the Park. The owner is the most wonderful person. He organized everything for us: from safari, through a massage to a trip to Galle. We could simply relax and enjoy amazing wild life. Thank you for your hospitality.

A very lovely stay at Buddika safari and resort. The owner was very friendly and kindly offered to bring me to the elephant transit home. They also helped us with arranging the safari and gave our breakfast in Tupperware for us to bring on the morning safari. As we were the only guests (low season) our room was kindly upgraded to a better one. The location is great as it is right next to the gate of the national park.

Buddika and his family were the most welcoming and accommodating hosts. I cannot fault them. Their hospitality, warm welcoming and making me feel like one of the family will always be memorable to me. They even arranged a birthday celebration for me, which was the kindest and most thoughtful gift 😁😭💙 This trip has meant a lot to me and having them host me for a few days, which I decided to extend due to Buddika's hospitality has meant absolutely everything to me. I couldn't recommend this place enough! The organisation of my safari was faultless and the breakfast/lunch they packed me was delicious! In fact all the food I've eaten here, cooked fresh to order has been great!

The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, with a great shower and both a powerful aircon and fan. The location is ideal, just a two-minute drive from the entrance to Udawalawe National Park. Buddika was incredibly friendly and helpful, organising a brilliant full-day safari for me and even helping arrange a driver to my next accommodation, which made everything seamless. He also kindly allowed a late check-out so I could shower before my 2.5-hour drive to Ella - perfect after a long day on safari. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.
