Set in Tissamaharama, 1.6 km from Tissa Wewa, La Safari Inn Tissamaharama offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Featuring room service, this property also has a restaurant and a children's playground. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Amazing place. The Staff was super helpful. They took us from the bus stop. Everything was so comfortable. Room was the cleanest compared to Other places we stayed in Sri Lanka. They arranged a very nice safari tour. We saw leopard and lot of animals .i think better you booked the safari earlier because their safari jeeps also busy. Highly recomended ..

Accessible via private entrance, all units have air conditioning, soundproofing, desk and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. All units are equipped with a safety deposit box, while selected rooms are fitted with a balcony and others also offer quiet street views. At the guest house, all units include bed linen and towels. The air conditioning worked well plus a strong ceiling fan. The room was clean as well and the host provided an adapter in the room. He also welcomed us with two fresh coconut waters and on the morning of our safari at 5am he was kind enough to make us coffee. On our last day he gave us fresh watermelon slices before checking out. We were also picked up and dropped off from the bus station by the host. Very helpful and kind. Would recommend

The guest house provides certain units that include lake views, and all units include a private bathroom and a desk. At the guest house, units have bed linen and towels.

Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at the guest house. My hosts couldn’t have made me feel any more welcome. They are kind and generous. As a single female traveller I felt very secure in their compound. I strongly advice you book your safari with your host. He’s a confident driver with a keen eye for leopards. Don’t think saving money will serve you well, take a private tour. The guest house is situated close to the park and near to the road the dissects the park. Take an evening safari on the road if you can. The accommodation is very clean. I found it hard to leave these lovely people.

Accessible via private entrance, all units have air conditioning, soundproofing, desk and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. All units include a safety deposit box, while some rooms will provide you with a balcony and others also provide guests with garden views. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. We stayed at Blue Birds Tissa for one night to do the morning safari at Yala National Park. Priya organized our pick-up from Ella and welcomed us with a fresh coconut drink. We also had lunch and dinner at the home stay which were freshly made and really delicious. The room was clean and providing everything you need. The location is close to a lake where Priya took us on a free bird’s safari in the afternoon. He also organized the safari to Yala NP and the transport to our next location. Priya and his family are going above and beyond to give their guests the best stay possible to a reasonable price. Thanks again for our great stay!
