"Lakes, leopards, wilderness, quiet safaris, birds, natural beauty"

Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka’s largest and oldest wildlife sanctuary, is famous for its scenic “villus” — natural lakes that attract a wide range of animals. Located in the northwest, it offers a tranquil, less crowded safari experience. The park is home to leopards, elephants, sloth bears, deer, and countless bird species, making it a haven for wildlife lovers.

Wilpattu’s landscape is a blend of thick jungle, open plains, and serene lakes. Its rich biodiversity, combined with historical significance, provides a captivating experience for visitors. The park is ideal for those seeking solitude and raw wilderness. Unlike busier parks, Wilpattu allows travelers to explore nature in peace, with the thrill of unexpected wildlife encounters around every corner.
