Wilpattu National Park Safari

Wilpattu National Park safari is ideal for those who prefer a park that holds natural lakes and birds. Located 180 km north of Colombo, this 1,317-square-kilometers land is about 152 meters above sea level at some points. The name Wilpattu brings out leopards; if fact, it holds a large leopard population confined to the land area. Not like in other national parks, the Wipattu National Park Safari is greener and delicate. The trails within the entire park region make your journey an easy one. Duration from February to October is the best time to visit the park, but this also could be the peak time. Anyway, the size of the park minimizes traffic and congestion.

December to February are the heavy rain months; hence avoiding this period is highly advisable for a convenient safari experience. The annual temperature of 27.2 degrees Celsius makes it milder than most other national parks in the dry region. The number of mammals that you can see in the park takes a lower value though; 31 species including elephants, leopard, water buffalo, and sloth bear. Since water lakes are present in many places, the environment is much more attractive when compared to other national parks. Wilpattu National Park Safari is famous for bird spotting. Birds gather in large numbers in wetlands and near natural water resources.

Crocodiles, rat snake, Indian python, and comm0on cobra are some of the common reptiles that you can witness in this national park. As always, you can hire us for a perfect Wilpattu National Park Safari; our experienced driver guides know about it from A to Z.
