- "We had such an amazing experience at the Tribe Yala property. We were in it mainly for the camping experience and it was totally worth it. Everything is well maintained right from the rooms, pool area and pathways to the lobby, it was a cake walk to get around the property even though it looked secluded. The staffs were courteous and polite. Also loved how they provided dining experiences next to bon fire for dinner and tree top for breakfast. We also opted for full day safari with them and it was perfect as we caught the Big 2 with the help of our ranger and had a memorable picnic by the beach for lunch in between the safari. Highly recommend if you like unique experiences like these with your loved ones. :)"
