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.
The Leopard Trails campsite creates bespoke tented safaris with a maximum of four waterproof tents. Classic Tents are all fitted with air conditioning and each have their own open-air shower. There is also one Luxury Tent which is more spacious and has an indoor shower with solar powered hot water. Delicious meals with both Sri Lankan and Western dishes are served either in the dining area in a separate tent or al fresco around a bon fire.
The highlight of your stay at Leopard Trails is of course watching wildlife. There are two daily game drives to the Wilpattu National Park, conducted with expert local guides. Each vehicle is designed to allow optimum comfort and space during a game drive, allowing you to get the best vantage point of Sri Lanka's most incredible wildlife. In between your safari, return to your elegant air-conditioned tent for a siesta or relax in one of the hammocks strung between the trees of the forest.
