Intro

You will be picked up by a four wheel drive jeep which does not have air conditioned.

The name "Wilpattu" derived from the spread of small and large ponds inside the park. This National Park is much greener than Yala National Park. And you can see taller trees as well. Unlike Yala National Park, visitors can cross to the end of Wilpattu National Park. And it is taking whole day to do so. The whole day safari is recommended for the best outcome. March to October, less rainy period is best to spot animals.

    This park is teeming with wildlife, our guide was excellent at spotting wildlife and pointing out all of the different bird species. It took 2 full 12 hr safaris, but I got to catch a glimpse of the elusive leopard! We also saw sloth bears, elephants, boars, deer, monkeys and so many different bird species!

    We booked a 2 week trip in Sri Lanka with Cross Country Travels and we went to 4 national parks on our trip (Yala, Udawalawe, Bundala and Wilpattu National Parks). Our family really wanted to see all of the animals that make up “Sri Lanka’s Big Five,” especially the leopard, so we told the Anu (the owner of CCT) about our wildlife-spotting wishlist in advance and he was able to give us great advice on which parks to visit, to be able to have the best chance of seeing the animals we were hoping to see. It was invaluable to have a local tour company to be able to advise us on where to go, since they live in Sri Lanka and have been to all of these parks many times. Anu had recommended going to Wilpattu National Park because of the high-density of leopards there and we are so glad that we went there, because on our second day of safari there we saw 2 leopards up close! CCT booked everything for us, arranged all safaris, park entrance tickets, guides, accommodation, etc. so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy our trip and take in all the beauty of the park and its wildlife. I recommend if you want to try and see a leopard to do at least 2 full day safaris with CCT, as they are elusive animals, but our guides were very professional and knowledgeable, so they found them for us. I would totally book a trip to visit the national parks of Sri Lanka with CCT again, they were very professional and make you have a stress-free and very enjoyable trip!
