Sri Lanka's wild side

Lakes, forest, and wildlife in their natural habitat.

Begin before sunrise and travel from Negombo to one of Sri Lanka's largest and most beautiful national parks. At Wilpattu, an experienced guide will take you into the wilderness in a 4×4 safari jeep.

The park is home to elephants, leopards, sloth bears, spotted deer, wild buffalo, crocodiles, and many bird species. Wildlife sightings are naturally unpredictable, which makes every safari a different experience.
