What people say

"This is the lesser popular National Park in Sri Lanka, which makes it the quietest one in terms of cars and people. It's true that to spot wildlife in here is more difficult than in the other parks along the country, but this does not mean that is not worth a visit. I liked Wilpattu National Park specifically because there were practically no tourists, and we were the only car around the park (we only spot one more car during all the safari), and we were lucky to see a leopard, monkeys, buffalos, crocodiles... and amazing vegetation.

"Wilpattu National Park, located on Sri Lanka’s northwest coast, is famed for its dense forests, open grasslands, and unique "willus" (natural lakes), which make it an ideal habitat for diverse wildlife. Known for its leopard population, the park also hosts elephants, sloth bears, and a rich array of bird species, offering an unforgettable safari experience in a beautifully unspoiled setting."
"Located near Anuradhapura, Wilpattu National Park, is the ultimate place for wildlife lovers in Sri Lanka. It’s home to all of the exciting fauna you could want to see (including the elusive Sri Lankan leopard), minus the sky-high tourist numbers of the more popular southern parks."
