Mahoora - Wilpattu by Eco Team Reviews

Amazing stay at Mahoora Tented Safari Camp Wilpattu The staff was so lovely, very enthusiastic about the experience and very professional. Our dinner was amazing, eating by candlelight, on linen tablecloths, under the stars with fire-flies blinking in the forest around us. Fantastic tent facilities - european toilets, basins and shower in each tent.. Comfortable beds and a quiet night's sleep. The safaris were great - we had a knowledgeable driver and Wilpattu NP is close by and very peaceful.Amazing !!!

Absolutely wonderful stay. We had a lovely time at Mahoora Tented Safari Camp. The camp itself was beautiful. The tents were well-equipped and private. We especially enjoyed the attached living area! Meals were good and the staff was very attentive. The post-safari teas were a very nice touch! Thank you for a lovely stay!

So it turns out this property (Mahoora Tented Safari Camp) is exactly the same as the similarly named 'Big Game Camp'. Don't be fooled by the location on hotels.com map - they are one in the same place. But one costs 9x more than the other one. Yes. 9 times more. You will get picked up at the drop-off point by the same staff in the same car, offered the same welcome refreshments, have the same dinner, and be staying in the same campsite with the same staff and amenities, regardless if you booked for 'Mahoora Tented Safari' or 'Big Game'. That is because they are the same company and property. Now, you might be told 'Mahoora' has an extra course for the dinner, and perhaps it did have 2 appetisers instead of 1. We were told we would be unlimited drinks at dinner, but the second drink was devoid of alcohol. The tents for 'Mahoora' are a bit larger, but only a little. 'Mahoora' does include the safari for 2 (a cost of around $100 ) so you could say that 'Mahoora' is only 7x more expensive than 'Big Game' when you take that in account. Aside from the scam, for $600 you get a tent with no hot water, multiple holes in the tents for creatures to enter though (seems like it would be easy to fix), and an experience that doesn't fit with the 5 star price or marketing. Stay with 'Big Game' instead

Mauvais rapport qualité prix : il est beaucoup trop cher pour la qualité des chambres et de la prestation. Les guides soit disant guides naturalises pour le safari n’en sont pas vraiment. Anglais approximatif, explication sommaire et surtout il n’avait ni jumelle ni livre sur les animaux avec lui. La nourriture était servie froide et pas bonne du tout (dîner et petit dej)

På ingen måder pengene værd. “Luksusteltet” var. Meget slidt, der lugtede meget grimt. Der kom en tynd stråle koldt vand ud af bruseren, ingen toiletartikler. Maden var det kedeligste vi har fået på alle 3 uger. Vi så en elefant, et par vandbøfler og en ugle på en 7-timers Safari. (I Yale nationalpark så vi Bjørn, 2 leoparder, elefanter, masser af vandbøfler og en krokodille på 3 timer) Alt i alt spild af penge!
