Delicious Home Cooking

The food at Mansala Safari House was absolutely delicious! The homemade breakfast offered a variety of Sri Lankan dishes that truly stood out, especially the unique pancakes and fresh fruit. Dinner was just as impressive with excellent curries that were among the best I sampled during my trip. I couldn't get enough of the amazing flavors!

Very nice Safari Adventure

The safari organized through the guesthouse was a highlight of my stay! Our driver was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly considerate, taking care to keep a respectful distance from the wildlife. I was amazed to see so many elephants and other animals up close, all while feeling safe and comfortable.
