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.

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Leopard Tracking


Wilpattu National Park is renowned for its elusive leopard population, making it an ideal destination for big cat enthusiasts. Visitors can join expert guides on jeep safaris to track and observe these magnificent predators as they roam through the park's dense forests and grasslands.

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


Another rare and exciting experience in Wilpattu National Park is the chance to spot the elusive Sri Lankan sloth bear. These shaggy, nocturnal creatures can be seen foraging for food, particularly during the fruiting season of the Palu tree (May to July). Joining a guided safari in the early morning or late afternoon hours increases the likelihood of encountering these fascinating animals.

Birdwatching


Wilpattu National Park boasts over 200 bird species, including both resident and migratory birds. The park's diverse habitats, from forests to wetlands, make it a paradise for birdwatchers. 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.

Kudiramalai Point


Located within the park, Kudiramalai Point offers breathtaking views of the coastline and the Indian Ocean. This historical site is also home to the ancient Kudiramalai Palace ruins, providing a glimpse into the region's rich past. Visitors can hike to the point, learning about the area's history while enjoying the stunning landscape.

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.
