Private Tented Safari Camping Experience in Gal Oya
2 nights/ 3 days
Explorer by Mahoora is a highly unique and immersive experience of living with untamed Sri Lankan wildlife inside National Parks and Nature Reserves across the country. Our Private Tented Safari Camp Experience in Gal Oya isolates you 
in the grasslands of the 25,900 hectare Gal Oya National Park.
Divided between an evergreen forest and a dusty savannah, you are invited to live amongst swimming elephants and elusive leopards, plus, over 180 other species of mammals and birds. Besides the wildlife, Gal Oya is home to an old Veddha clan. Veddhas are the indigenous people of Sri Lanka and this tribe still lives in the Nilgala area of the Gal Oya National Park.
The magical settings in the silent wilderness where the traditional flame torches light up and roar to the tune of the wind while campfire dances alongside under a starry sky is the place to sit back and relax as we take care of you.
All food is freshly prepared at our campsite with an exclusively designed menu for our guests.
Explorer by Mahoora is for the one who is looking for a sense of comfort and glamour in the midst of wilderness. The tent (15.6’x 8’) is equipped with a bedroom and an en-suite bathroom along with a private veranda/porch outside the tent.
