Discover the untamed beauty of Sri Lanka’s largest national park, stretching across 130,000 hectares and bordering Mannar, Anuradhapura, and Puttalam. Famous for its unique ‘Villus’—natural freshwater lakes that attract a rich variety of wildlife—Wilpattu offers thrilling jeep safaris from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Spot elephants, leopards, sloth bears, and more as your expert guide takes you along the best routes for unforgettable animal encounters. Open year-round, with peak sightings between February and October, Wilpattu is a must-visit for true wildlife lovers.
Located on Sri Lanka’s west coast, just outside Anuradhapura, Wilpattu was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1938, renowned for its natural freshwater lakes that attract a rich diversity of wildlife. Closed during the country’s 30-year civil war, the park reopened in 2010 and has since become a rising star for wildlife safaris and camping in South East Asia. On your day tour, an experienced jeep safari guide will lead you through this vast landscape, maximizing your chances to spot elusive animals in their natural habitat.
