Panthera Lodge is a unique experience for anyone who yearns to enjoy a holiday close to nature. Located in the Semi Arid Dry Zone of Sri Lanka bordering the small fishing village of Kirinda, Panthera Lodge has the character to rejuvenate your spent batteries. If you are a nature lover with a zest for wildlife, Panthera will provide you just that opportunity.


The lodge itself is built, based on an architecture that is typical of African Safari Game Lodges. Crisp linen and exquisite tastes of Sri Lanka are just the beginning of a wonderful experience at Panthera. The evenings start with sundowners while you enjoy the wonders of the milky-way in anticipation of a succulent barbeque prepared by the in-house chef cum caretaker “Liyanage”.

The afternoons are spent relaxing after a morning game drive tracking leopards and elephants at the Yala National Park, which is just twenty minutes away. The afternoons are warm but a soothing breeze speeds through the lodge cooling you.
