Description

Best deals for Wilpattu National Park lakes and wildlife safari.

Its name means the ‘Land of Lakes’ and Wilpattu National Park really does live up to its billing. Occupying a large swathe of northwestern Sri Lanka, it is famous for its varied wildlife and more than 50 lakes. You’ll hop on a 4×4 vehicle and go on safari through the park, with the chance to spot wild animals such as leopards and water buffalo.

On your way Wilpattu, we stop at Puttalam lagoon – an expanse of mangrove forest, seagrass and salt marshes. Then, in the park, you’ll be able to soak up the peace and tranquillity of Sri Lanka’s largest national park – it’s so big and densely forested that its vast wilderness has a primeval feel to it.

Wilpattu is characterised by its string of ‘villus’ – natural basins filled with rainwater. These sand-rimmed depressions are a magnet for thirsty wildlife and among the best places to spot sloth bears, elephants, crocodiles, axis deer and, with a bit of luck, the endangered and elusive Sri Lankan leopard. Other species that call Wilpattu home include owls, eagles and painted storks.
