Mahoora is an exclusive small chain of stylish tented camps across Sri Lanka's less-known national parks and protected areas. In the ancient language of Sri Lanka's Vedda people, mahoora means 'great one' and it's in this spirit that visitors to Mahoora Campsites are treated.

This intimate, 3 hectacre private wildlife sanctuary combines the wilderness of a dry zone forest with luxurious modern-day comforts. Mahoora Wilpattu is set where elephants, jungle cats and barking deer roam nearby, and birds and butterflies gather by the camp’s lake which is surrounded by a bush forest.

Fall asleep in Sri Lanka’s largest luxury safari tent with forest stars lining the skies, and wake up to a private sunrise and a cup of tea in a secluded patch of forest life.
