Description
Discover the wildlife of Wilpattu National Park on a full-day jeep safari from Anuradhapura. Spot leopards, elephants, and sloth bears, and enjoy a picnic breakfast and lunch in the wild.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from your Anuradhapura hotel around 5:00 AM, or from a Wilpattu-area hotel. After a roughly 1-hour drive to the park, embark on a jeep safari from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM with a picnic breakfast and lunch in the wild. Return to Anuradhapura by about 6:00 PM.
Explore Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka's largest and oldest national park, on a private 4x4 jeep safari. Wilpattu lies in the northwest of Sri Lanka, about 30 km from Anuradhapura, covers over 130,000 hectares of unspoiled wilderness, and borders the Indian Ocean. It is famous for its "villus" - natural sand-rimmed rainwater lakes - and holds the island's highest density of Sri Lankan leopards. It is far quieter and less crowded than Yala National Park, offering a peaceful, wild experience.
Enjoy the best chance of the day to spot leopards, elephants, and sloth bears thanks to full dawn-to-dusk coverage. Learn about the wildlife from your personal naturalist guide, who will share the story behind every sighting.
Experience a photographer-friendly experience with golden-hour light and close wildlife encounters around the villus. Enjoy an eco-conscious, responsible safari and warm, personal service from local family hosts.
