Expérience sympa
L’emplacement et le cadre au milieu de la nature. Une belle expérience de dormir dans une tente (de luxe). Le safari compris dans le prix était vraiment bien (surtout le guide). C’était très agréable pouvoir dîner et petit déjeuner au bord de la rivière
La salle de bain très vieillotte par rapport au prix (en plus elle n’est pas fermée donc plein de bestiole dedans type cafard) Le personnel était un peu trop présent. On a payé 100€ la nuit avec le dîner et petit déjeuner (et guide+ jeep pour 3h de safari, entrée non inclus) ce qui nous a paru assez cher compte tenu des prestations fournies

Klare Empfehlung
Das Athgira River Camp liegt sehr schön gelegen an einem Fluss. Es gibt zwei Pools umgeben von vielen schönen Pflanzen die zum Baden einladen. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt.
Das Moskitonetz über dem Bett hängt leider nur über dem Bett und hat keine Spannung bedeutet wenn man im Bett liegt, liegt das Moskitonetz direkt auf einem. Das könnte man verbessern.

Glamping dans un site superbe et calme avec tous les services désirés et une cuisine excellente
C’était ma deuxième fois dans cet établissement, et je ne l’ai pas regretté. Un endroit superbe, sur le bord de la rivière, et très calme. le personnel est très dévoué et attentif. Tout spécialement le gérant d’établissement et le chef cuisinier qui est excellent!

Not worthy it at all.
Close to the safari park, but that’s no rare. Near riverside, view ok but many many flies and bugs. How could you expect customers to eat like that?
No hot water. No air conditioning. Dirty bedspreads. But worst of all, the staffs especially the lady staffs are rude and unfriendly. I mean what’s the matter with that face she made? We had dinner buffet had 6 drinks in total equal to the room charges. But experience is like the worst of all time! Even worst, the hotel is so short sighted to rip us off with the driver accommodation charges. It is their national association of tour guide of this country to protect the right of tourists and licensed guide/driver to have reasonable treatment for stay and food. But this hotel is so dishonest. They didn’t tell our driver that they are charging his room and cut us off when we check out. Ok I will never recommend this hotel ever to all my friends and colleagues working in Sri Lanka.

So worth it.
We had an amazing 2 days at Athgira . Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing chef and gorgeous surroundings. Do visit this place if you are planning a visit to the National park.

Jungle Paradise
This place is a hidden paradise. Set amongst lushes palms and a green valley. Beautiful safari style tents adorned with palm roofs and outdoor bathrooms, look down over an exotic and babling river with shingle beach. Bathing is encouraged here and the management even suggests that they bring you a beer down whilst you sit in the shallows. You will meet lovely Sri Lankan locals here, paddling, chatting and even carrying out their daily laundry wash. This place is so idylic and made even more special by the team of staff. Nothing is too much trouble and the Manager, Prassanna, mentors his staff with a naturing and caring manner. Some of his team are only trainees and it is these staff that are truly a pleasure to meet. We'd love to thank all the team but especially, Chalani, Maheesh, Kithumi, Chanacka and Wimakthi. The Head Chef Mr Fernando delivers amazing dishes, eaten on the river bank, and under twinkling lights. Its a very romantic and intoxicating setting. The Chef also provides cooking tips for any dish you like and additionally advises about panning for tiny pieces of Ruby fragments that can be found in the river. My wife and I spent a few hours in the warm waters, doing this and bagged around 30 small chips of Ruby. It was a very memorable experience.

Not quite the experience we had hoped for but adequate none the less...
The on-site pool was lovely. Breakfast was good, a big buffet, omelette station,e ect. Dinner was also a buffet, it was also okay. They organised an excellent safari for us - 8000 for driver and jeep (not including park fees). The room was fine, but nothing special. The beds were comfy enough. There was a fan in the room.
Its quite a way out of town and far from the national park which is really the only thing we can to do. The tents were quite close together, not especially private. Our tent at the front was also disintegrating a bit.
