They also offer camping just outside the Bundala bird sanctuary and the Sinharaja rainforest. The campsites within the National Parks are situated deep within the jungles. Uda Walawe’s site is located amidst a picturesque setting on the banks of the Walawe River and takes about 45 minutes to reach once you enter the National Park. Guests are expected to arrive at the park entrance by 12:00 noon.
Introduction
Master Campers offers a mid-range wildlife safari camping as well as a beach camping experience. A friendly and personalised service is provided. The mobile camping sites are set up before the guests arrive and cleared out completely afterwards, in keeping with strict eco-friendly policies. The campsites consist of four to five accommodation tents, a dining tent and kitchen tent. Set off on an early morning wildlife safari into the jungles; return to the camp to a leisurely breakfast followed by a dip in the river. By nightfall, relax with a drink by a roaring bon fire and enjoy the magical night in the wilds.

In keeping with the Wildlife Department regulations, Master Campers accommodates a maximum of 12 guests in the campsites within the National Parks. Up to 20 guests can be accommodated when camping outside the parks. An experienced manager, chef, housekeeping staff, and jeep drivers work together to provide a memorable holiday experience. The Master Campers cost per head includes accommodation, all meals and snacks; all beverages including tea/coffee, bottled water, soft drinks and juices, a limited number of local beers; all game drives, National Park entrance fees and wildlife tracker fees.

The safari parks:

Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka's south-central sector, is the area which most resembles an African game park. Wildlife reports say there are about 500 elephants in the park and they often roam in herds of up to 100.

Yala National Park with a total protected area of 126,768 hectares, is one of the best places to see a wide variety of Sri Lankan wildlife because of its scrub plains, lagoons and rocky sections. Boasting one of the world's densest leopard populations, Yala also has elephants, sloth bears, sambar deer, spotted deer, wild boar, crocodiles, monkeys and buffalos and numerous species of birds.

Wilpattu National Park covering an area of 1,085 sq. kms, has several unusual features, including a small fishing village, coastal cliff-tops as well as a collection of ‘villus’ (freshwater lakes) providing natural habitats for a variety of ‘big game’ including leopards, sloth bear, deer, water buffalo and many species of birds.

Wasgomuwa National Park islocated within the Central and North Central provinces and covers an area of approximately 39,000 hectares.
