Prashan ist ein außergewöhnlich herzlicher Gastgeber, der sich mit voller Hingabe um seine Gäste kümmert. Er sorgt dafür, dass sich jeder sofort willkommen fühlt und den Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genießen kann. Neben der beeindruckenden Safari im Udawalawe-Nationalpark waren die abendlichen Kochsessions ein besonderes Erlebnis. Je nach Wunsch kann man aktiv mitkochen oder einfach nur zuschauen und genießen. Die Gerichte werden mit viel Liebe zubereitet und anschließend in gemütlicher Runde am Lagerfeuer serviert – eine wunderschöne Atmosphäre. Die Bungalows sind einfach, aber völlig ausreichend und fügen sich perfekt in die Natur ein. Es gibt bequeme Betten, ein eigenes Bad mit Warmwasserdusche und die Möglichkeit, mitten im Grünen zur Ruhe zu kommen. Wer ein Safari-Erlebnis mit entspannten Abenden in der Natur und echter sri-lankischer Gastfreundschaft sucht, ist bei Prashan genau richtig :) ##### Madeleine Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025
