Half Day Safari in Wilpattu National Park

Wilpattu National Park, named for the myriad of small and large ponds—known as "Vills" (විල්)—that dot its landscape, offers a breathtaking escape into nature. Spanning a lush expanse far larger and greener than Yala National Park, Wilpattu is adorned with towering trees and a vibrant ecosystem.

Notably, the leopard population in Wilpattu is on the rise, with some experts suggesting it now boasts the highest density of leopards in Sri Lanka. This increase enhances the thrill of spotting these magnificent creatures during your safari. Additionally, during the season of palu (පලු) fruits, sightings of sloth bears are almost guaranteed in certain areas of the park, adding to the excitement of your wildlife adventure.

Unlike Yala, visitors have the unique opportunity to traverse the entire length of Wilpattu, making a full-day safari essential for a truly enriching experience. The ideal time to spot wildlife is from March to October, during the park’s drier months when animal activity peaks.

Embark on your adventure from one of the park's entrances—Gangewardiya, Eluwankulama, or Hunuwilagama—and let CCT Sri Lanka handle your transportation, picking you up from your accommodation and ensuring a seamless journey back after your unforgettable day in the wild.
