Great stay here. Food options are limited, but great for a night or two.

Good food comfortable tents and beds. We booked a afternoon safari and got to see all the animals on our list including leopard mother and cub. All round good value for money and near to the park

Brilliant glamping experience
The tent was very spacious and clean. The beds were comfy and the entertainment was good. There were board games to play, books to read, wi-fi in the communal areas and sports to play. There was a BBQ meal in the evening which was very good and the children could roast marshmallows around the fire. Overall a great experience

All staff members are so kind and friendly. Every service was perfect and comfortable for me from the checking in to checking out. We booked the hotel very last minutes, but the staff helped me for the meal arrangement and the safari arrangement smoothly so there was no inconvenience and negative comments for the stay! I’d like to come and visit here again.

I’ve done a lot of Safaris and seen a lot of Safari camps, and this camp/glamping setup was one of the best. I mean electricity, hot water, and fan.. what’s not to love. By far, the best meal offered was breakfast as I just felt dinner was a bit too basic. I also felt that they could have outlined the price individual drinks. I mean, I knew how much dinner and breakfast cost, but I was a little in the dark as to the rest of it. However, the Safari was very cool, and even though we just missed seeing a leopard, we did see two Sloth Bears, which I’m told are even harder to see. All and all, Ysla Bih Game was a very nice camp

Wonderful out door experience. Well run by Saman. Very comfortable tent with adequate en suite shower etc. Dinner around the fire was straight out of the film Out of Africa. Very good red wine. Didn’t try the white and the food was excellent. The safari was well worth the early start with a stop for breakfast served in the safari jeep. We had a drive and guide from the camp and a guide from the park too. They are amazing at spotting the game. You need at least 2 nights and it is a wonderful family experience too.
Jane, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

You can not be closer to nature. It's amazing to listen to the sound of nature especially in the morning. To join the safari is recommended as the game does not provide big entertainment except peacefull tent areas with relaxing hammrocks. The staff is very friendly and caring. The tents are almost like Hotel rooms and perfectly equiped. Dinner is served as BBQ and it is very tasty. Breakfast is offered with fresh fruits. Once you participate to the Safari you are guided perfectly and you also get a nice bush-breakfast. I can recommend the accommodation for a stay of 2-3 days and in combination with a pre-booked Safari.

Great stay close to nature
Wonderful place! Tough to find but incredible once we arrived. _VERY_ helpful and welcoming staff. Great service, wonderful food, and most importantly an amazing closeness to nature.

service staff was wonderful, but needs quite a bit of training. Staff shift supervisor was much more experience and guest oriented than the Guest Relations manager. I briefly saw the camp manager and there was no sincerity. She was as the elusive leopard. Food was excellent so was the minor staff.

amp and Safari
Nice camp. Tent was lovely and spotless. I booked my safari through the camp. The nighttime (afternoon) safari was my favourite. Much smaller area to cover and fewer cars than in the morning. We saw two leopards. One having a nap and another trying to get some dinner. Lots of other stuff to see, elephants, crocodiles. Buffalo, Spotted Deer, Eagles, the list goes on. Would recommend.

1/2 day safari stay
Great one night stay with 1/2 day safari. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Lunch and eve meal good. Nice to sit around the bonfire under the night sky. Great morning safari and lucky to see 4 leopards amongst many other animals and birds. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay one to remember

Fantastisk sted
Lejren var fantastisk, midt i naturen, og med et virkelig behageligt personale. Man føler sig velkommen fra det første øjeblik. Virkelig lækker mad - 3 retter til både morgenmad og aftensmad. Hyggeligt med bål hver aften. Toilet- og badefaciliteterne var helt fine. Så hyggelig lejr.

Absolute pleasure staying at this camp. Food was brilliant and tent was fantastic. We were upgraded to luxury tent for our anniversary. Thank you so much.

Zeltstadt im abgelegenen Wald. Nettes Ambiente mit Lagerfeuer, BBQ Grill und Natur pur! Es gibt Teetime & ein Willkmensgetränk. Leider besteht keine Möglichkeit in die Stadt zu kommen da die TukTuks nicht auf dem schlammigen Weg bis zum Camp fahren. Dadurch entsteht eine Art Monopol was bei Lunch & Dinner mit für dieses Land überzogen Preisen ausgenutzt wird. Das Camp bietet Safari Touren an. Die Ganztagestour (200 Dollar 6x18Uhr) ist wesentlich billiger, aber bei Ankuft wird erzählt dass man doch bitte die zwei Touren (5:30-11 & 14:30-18uhr jeweils 125 Dollar) buchen soll, das wäre besser.... (um nochmal einen zusätzlichen Lunch zu verkaufen???). Ist allerdings nicht so da der Weg vom Camp zurm Nationalpark jeweils 45-60min. dauert und man diese Zeit verliert... Das Serviceteam hat sich um alles gekümmert und war super nett. Aber am Ende blieb beinuns ein fader Beigeschmack und wir fühlten uns leicht abgezogt. Unser Tipp: Wer das Zelt nicht unbedingtt braucht, lieber ein Hotel/HomeStay in der Stadt buchen...

Tja tja...
Vriendelijk personeel die willen dat je je goed voelt maar dit komt soms wel wat opdringerig over. Wij hadden een luxe tent geboekt, maar vergis je niet dit is geen luxe. Het is echt back to basic (zonder wifi) de tenten zijn bovendien erg verouderd met overal kleine gaatjes tot gevolg waardoor spinnen en insecten onvermijdbaar zijn. De tenten zijn ook zeer krap en de “badkamer” moet dringend vernieuwd worden, wij hebben ons hier niet willen douchen omdat deze te vies waren. Prijs kwaliteit vinden wij dit niet oké. De safaries vonden we wel goed met een aangename jeep en gids.

強烈推薦-很好的野生動物園體驗!
豪華的帳篷我們住的是4人家庭房,床舖房間潔淨,有熱水洗澡,整個帳篷只有2枝用電的燈及風扇,晚上開風扇已足夠,偶然會停電,必須點蠟燭。 服務和食物都非常棒
