Nil Diya Mankada Safari Lodge
C D E Place, Walawegama, Udawalawe, Srilanka, 70190 Udawalawe, Sri Lanka – Great location - show map
Great location to take a sunrise safari at Udawalawe. They helped organise a private tour for two with a knowledgeable guide. The property is in a great location, we easily walked into town and visited the elephant orphanage one afternoon. The locals were all very friendly - it felt like a lovely community surrounding the property. They had bikes to use. The staff are all very friendly, a clean, comfortable hotel. The food was good. A highlight was being able to play pool after dinner in their open air games area. The swimming pool was nice and they had a variety of trees, named throughout the grounds - it was nice to explore.
