Tour overview
Feature
Wilpattu National Park is one of the largest and oldest national parks in Sri Lanka, covering over 131,000 hectares. The park is home to many wildlife species such as Sri Lankan elephants, sloth bears, and leopards. What sets it apart from other national parks in Sri Lanka is its densely forested areas, which are perfect for wildlife sightings. Additionally, the park features dry grassland areas and wetlands with lakes of varying sizes.
Moreover, the proximity of the ancient city of Anuradhapura means that there are several ancient ruins within the park, making it a popular historical site as well. By joining this safari tour, you can explore the abundant wildlife and breathtaking scenery of Wilpattu National Park with a professional guide. It is a great opportunity to experience the natural beauty and history of Sri Lanka.
