Luxury & Small Group Tours to Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka

Wilpattu, Sri Lanka's largest National Park, unfurls as a landscape of mystery and intrigue. Its distinctive feature, 'villus' - natural, sand-rimmed water basins - adorn the park, creating mirage-like oases that draw diverse wildlife. Majestic elephants, elusive leopards, and sloth bears contribute to the park's living mosaic, while mugger crocodiles bask lazily on sun-drenched banks. The avian orchestra, featuring endemic species like the Ceylon Junglefowl, adds a melodious score to the park's silent beauty. Amid the ancient Kumbuk trees and dense shrub forests, history breathes through the ruins of a bygone civilization. Wilpattu, an untouched wilderness, weaves a fascinating narrative of natural splendor, undying resilience, and echoes of a forgotten past.

Unique "Villus"


The park is characterized by its "villus," natural lakes formed within the park's sand-rimmed depressions. These water sources attract a diverse range of wildlife, offering excellent opportunities for wildlife watching. Visitors can explore the villus on guided safaris or via designated nature trails, observing the unique ecosystems that thrive in these environments.

Sloth Bears

Guided birdwatching tours provide visitors with the opportunity to spot rare and endemic species, such as the Sri Lanka junglefowl and the chestnut-backed owlet.

Leopard Trails is a luxury safari camp, set on the outskirts of Wilpattu National Park in North West Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka’s oldest national park, Wilpattu was once known for its large leopard population and wildlife that congregated around its many large sand rimmed natural lakes known as “Villus”. Wildlife in the park diminished during Sri Lanka's civil war, but with new protection enforced, the leopard population is beginning to grow, making it an ideal time to visit.

Wilpattu Safari Camp is a spacious boutique camp, set on the outskirts of Wilpattu National Park, northwest of Sri Lanka. Founded by a team of experienced wildlife photographers and conservationists, the Camp is deliberately kept small to ensure low impact on nature and noise, as well as be able to provide personalised attention to each guest. The fascinating games drives with local experts provide an opportunity to spot unique species of birds and other elusive animals.

Bethany 101 is a colonial-style boutique villa, set in the north western Province of Puttalam in Sri Lanka. Built in the early 19th-century, it has been a family home for generations. Now fully renovated, it offers ideal accommodation for discerning travellers who prefer a bit of traditional character, chic style and luxuries of a modern hotel. Situated about 2-hours’ drive from Colombo, it is ideally placed near the shores of Puttalam lagoon and close to Wilpattu National Park.

Leopard Safaris Wilpattu offers mobile camping safaris in Wilpathu National Park, North Western Sri Lanka. This extremely beautiful reserve comprises of about 50 ‘Willus’ (or natural lakes) forming an intricate network of waterways, providing a water source to the animals in the surrounding dry-zone forest. The park offers excellent leopard, sloth bear and bird-spotting opportunities. The safari camp is owned by Noel Rodrigo, a wildlife specialist with deep knowledge about the Sri Lankan leopard.
