Leave behind the ancient ruins and sacred cityscapes of Anuradhapura and dive into the wild heart of Sri Lanka with a thrilling journey to Wilpattu National Park—the island’s largest and oldest wildlife sanctuary. This full-day safari experience takes you through a landscape unlike any other: from ancient tanks and scrub forests to vast open plains and shaded villus (natural lakes) teeming with life.
As you drive toward the park, keep your eyes peeled for peacocks strutting along the roadside, herds of deer grazing, or even an elephant crossing your path. Whether you're a nature lover, wildlife photographer, or adventure seeker, Wilpattu promises an unforgettable escape into Sri Lanka’s untamed wilderness.
Embark on a guided jeep safari through Wilpattu, known for its elusive leopards, majestic elephants, sloth bears, and abundant birdlife. With fewer crowds than other parks, Wilpattu offers a more serene and immersive wildlife experience across its dense forest paths and water-rich villus.
Pass by serene tanks (man-made lakes) like Nachchaduwa or Nuwara Wewa, engineering marvels from Anuradhapura’s ancient kingdom. Small roadside shrines nestled under massive trees also add spiritual charm to the drive.
