It's a great place to stay. They have a nice clean room and a beautiful river in front of the rooms. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is very good. They arrange a reasonable safari tour for us with snacks to enjoy during our safari. Good knowledge of safari travel guide. He gave us a great experience.
Everything was perfect.

The scenic river in front of the resort was a perfect place to relax and their organized safari tour was unforgettable. What impressed me was the price: the price of the room, food and safari was very reasonable. Highly recommended for a few days holiday with small children.

There is a spirit in this place! Jungle spirit! Kids loved river trail - they were going up by the river as the jungle fighters. Crafted yard, houses and hammack were really eye-catching. Tasty food (we had lunch, dinner and breakfast). The best thing - host's communication and friendship! We made a mistake during reservation and came they day earlied than supposted to be. But host not only accomodate us but arranged safari the same day, food and transfer. 10/10
We lived in a tent so there were quite tight place for luggages. But as the waether was ok, we had more fun outside than inside

The location right by the river is relaxing and beautiful, the host is helpful (setting up tuk tuk rides for us on several occasions) and the food was amazing.
The rooms are comfortable and it is a great place to base yourself for safari or to just rest and watch the wildlife in the jungle.

The staff was incredible. Food is delicious. We only stayed the night before a morning safari, but would have liked to book later nights as well. This was the most relaxing stay we found in Sri Lanka. A bird's paradise near a river. Thank you Ata Safari..

Nice quiet place. The lodge is great, some of the best rooms I've had in Sri Lanka, the jacuzzi tub is perfect for a dip after a long safari day. The staff are great and will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The lodge is my personal safari organization, my guide and driver Jana is excellent. I actually liked my Udawalawe safari better than the one I dated. It was less busy and most of the animals were seen at the Udawalawe Safari Park.

The owner Asanka was very kind who warmly welcomes his guests. Asanka arranged a private safari for us and arranged for us to have breakfast at the safari park. The food was delicious. After the safari, we spent the evening on the river and it was truly a wonderful experience, a perfect place to relax for days. I love it.

From the moment I arrived I was captivated by the beauty and tranquility of this unique destination. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every aspect of my stay was perfect. The beautiful river, the sweet chirping of the birds is amazing for the natural surroundings. The on-site facilities and activities were fantastic, providing plenty of opportunities to relax and connect with nature. I highly recommend Atja safari resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic holiday.

We stayed one night at this lovely accommodation. The owner is amazing! He is very attentive and prepared a special dinner for us. The food is very delicious. We were served various curries. This is a glamping/camping experience and it is wonderful. This is a good experience for a few nights. The safari experience they give us is amazing. The chirping of birds near a beautiful river is endless. This was the best quiet environment we had in Sri Lanka. We were like our own place.

The place was beautiful and the host was such a kind person. One of the highlights is the beautiful river in front of all the rooms. The room was spacious and very clean. Breakfast and dinner were very delicious. We had welcome drinks and Asanka helped us with every question. He even drove us to our next destination himself for a good price. We booked our safari with him and it was perfect. We saw lots of elephants, birds, crocodiles and foxes. Thank you Asanka for the warm welcome and lovely stay. It is a good place for everyone who wants to calm down and relax. We recommend it to everyone.

A bird paradise overlooking the river .We went on a safari with them and loved it so much! It was such an amazing experience! Our favorite local delicacies were deliciously served to us by Asanka's wife Sadamali. Everything was perfect. My wife and two kids spent the evening on the river and the birdsong was amazing. A perfect place to stay for days for adults and children alike. This is my second visit to Sri Lanka and my second visit to Atha safari resort. Strongly recommended.
