Our Private Tented Safari Camp Experience in Dambana is tailor-made to experience the livelihood of indigenous people of Dambana ( Vedda Community). It is carefully designed to interact with a selective group of the indigenous community who still preserve their traditional way of life, as such giving you a truly private, non- touristic and unique experience.
The Explorer by Mahoora Campsite is situated adjacent to a lake that is naturally beautiful. The evenings are breathtaking when hues of pink and blue paint the evening sky in broad and vibrant strokes. It is a place to lie down or sit back and relax, enjoy an afternoon cup of tea and and simply watch the skies turn to darker shades of blue, as birds fly back home saying farewell to the day.
At nightfall, we make your wild dinner experience a little extra special. Listen to the campsite come alive with chanting and the beat of the dancers around the campfire, recreating a scene that must have echoed through the forests in a bygone era; full of gusto and rhythm.
Explorer by Mahoora is for the adventurer 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.
