Experiences
Stay within the heart of Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka’s largest national park, and camp near a river. Encounter the elusive Sri Lankan Leopard, Asian Elephant, and Sloth Bear amidst ancient ruins and lush landscapes. With a history dating back to the 5th century BC, Wilpattu offers an intimate safari experience.
‘Willu’ and ‘pattu’ broadly translate as the ‘Land of the Lakes’ featuring 60 rainwater-collecting basins, and witness diverse wildlife, including exotic birds, during morning and evening safaris.
Optimal sightings occur during the dry season (May to September) and the lush post-monsoon season (October to December).
