Venture into Sri Lanka’s largest and most pristine national park on this full-day wilderness safari experience. Wilpattu is a landscape unlike any other on the island, a vast, undulating wilderness of dry-zone forest broken by dozens of natural lakes called villus, where leopards come to drink, elephants bathe at the water’s edge, and sloth bears forage in the thick undergrowth. The park’s relative remoteness means it sees far fewer visitors than Yala, giving your safari a sense of wilderness discovery. Your experienced tracker and driver will read the landscape expertly, guiding your open jeep along sandy tracks in search of the park’s exceptional leopard population alongside elephants, spotted deer, crocodiles, and an array of waterbirds. An early departure from Colombo ensures arrival at the park for the most active wildlife hours.
