Wilpattu National Park Safari

Explore Wilpattu, Sri Lanka's largest and oldest national park, on a jeep safari. Its trails wind between dozens of natural lakes called villus, home to leopards, sloth bears, elephants, deer and a huge variety of birds, with far fewer vehicles than Yala.

Good to Know

  • Full-day and half-day safaris are available.
  • Usually done on the drive between Negombo and Anuradhapura.
  • Bring binoculars for birds and distant leopards.

Best Time to Go

February to October is the best time, with the dry months from May to September offering the most sightings.
