Proximity and Location Advantages
Mahoora Safari Leverage
Every logistical detail is important to us; to ensure that your safari time is optimised. We donʼt go to the most “popular” but crowded gate. Our usual entrance to the Yala National Park is via the less crowded Katagamuwa Gate. For guests who are with us for two nights or more, we would travel to two other blocks - of the 5 blocks of Yala - that are less frequented. These two blocks are known to have a very good leopard and bear population. Your jeep will probably be the only jeep or one of the very few, in these less ventured sections of Yala National Park. If there is a full day Yala Safari, we are able to provide a wholesome lunch served inside the Park, without returning to the campsite. This saves time and energy spent on travelling back and forth to the camp for lunch. However, clients have the option to go back for their meal and return for the evening safari, after enjoying an exquisite lunch at the camp.
Unique Holistic Living Experience
The complete Mahoora Living Experience with our professional team is a unique and holistic experience and not just an accommodation option. Your time with us is curated from arrival to departure: complete with value additions plus safaris while conducted by some of the finest wildlife guides in Sri Lanka.Safari jeeps, expert jeep drivers, professional naturalists, special safari picnic packs, unique meal settings around the campfire and foot therapy after a safari - are just some of the services that make this experience special. When you stay with us for two or more nights, as part of the Mahoora Living Experience, we offer guided excursions to some of the most important historical, social and religious highlights in the area. It is all inclusive feature in the package price. Situlpawwa Temple; located deep inside the park, Katharagama Kovil and Wedacity Kanda are just some of those special places we will take you to.

Family safaris, honeymoon safaris, photography safaris and birding safaris - are just some of the packages available, but a customised safari can be planned if you are looking for something unique. Likewise, if you or any of your loved ones are celebrating a special occasion, let us know as we will be very happy to create a memorable and total experience around it.
Our passionate homegrown guides
One of the most important aspects of a Yala National Park Safari is having the right kind of guide. Though wildlife is abundant, animals like the Sri Lankan Sloth Bear, Sri Lankan Leopard and other big game, require the skills of an experienced and seasoned naturalist guide who knows about the movements of game throughout the Park at certain times - a facility which Mahoora provides for all the safaris. Our guides are attuned to knowing which section of the Park to be at and at what time, to maximise your sightings. Your assigned guide will have a discussion with you upon arrival and assist to plan the days you are with us to fulfil your safari aspirations and experience memorable moments.
