Wilpattu is one of the largest national parks in Sri Lanka and widely regarded as one of the best places to spot leopard and sloth bears in their natural habitat. Dense scrub jungle and dry zone forest open onto small lakes (villus) surrounded by grassy plains. Despite its size, the park is still relatively uncommercialised so at times there are only a handful of other jeeps in the park, which adds an authenticity to the experience. Other wildlife to spot includes elephants, wild boars, Asiatic buffalos and crocodiles.
A visa may be required. Please ask for details.
Wilpattu is about 2 hours drive from Chilaw; 2 hours 30 minutes drive from Kandy or around 3 hours 30 minutes drive from Colombo.
