Wilpattuwa National Park

Wilpattu National Park is Sri Lanka?s largest and oldest wildlife sanctuary, globally celebrated for its unique network of natural freshwater lakes (villus) that attract a spectacular array of wildlife [1]. Sprawling across the northwest coast, this pristine wilderness features dense dry-zone forests and open grasslands, offering highly authentic and uncrowded 4x4 safaris. Visitors flock here to spot the iconic Sri Lankan leopard and elusive sloth bear, alongside majestic wild elephants, crocodiles, and thousands of migratory water birds nesting along the scenic lakeshores.
