Authentic Flavours of the Dry-Zone

At Governor's Camp Wilpattu, our kitchen serves hearty, home-cooked local and Asian dishes prepared with authentic village recipes and locally sourced ingredients.

Start your morning before dawn with freshly brewed Ceylon tea and packed safari breakfasts. Return after an exhilarating game drive for clay-pot rice and curry feasts featuring fresh river fish, organic garden vegetables, fragrant coconut sambols, and warm pol roti.

As night falls across the forest, our team arranges outdoor campfire barbecues where skewered meats, fresh seafood, and jacket potatoes are grilled live over charcoal embers.
