We had an incredible time at Wilpattu National Park! Both our driver and naturalist were professionals and nice/friendly. We had breakfast, lunch, and snacks which was great while being in the car all day. We even saw a leopard too which was the icing on top!

We booked a full day with Wilpattu Safari and loved the experience.
We had the chance to see lots of different animals including the famous leopard! The driver and the naturalist really have an eye for finding hidden animals or birds. In the end, we were able to see: leopards, elephants, bears, lots of different deer, turtles, mongooses, squirrels, crocodiles, buffaloes, monkeys, peacocks, large lizards and lots of magnificent birds.
If we had to do it again, we would come back! THANKS!

Easily the highlight of our trip, the drivers and guides are amazing! Asinka and Mindaka were so impressive and enthusiastic. Sachi made organising this so easy, and was so accommodating to requests we had (pick up, dietary requirements).
We were incredibly lucky with our sightings: if you’re set on seeing one specific animal, book more than one day because there are no guarantees. Having said that, these guys work so hard to make it happen!
You might not see a bear or a leopard but you will still have an amazing time, and you will see an incredible range of wildlife in its natural habitat. Would pick this company again in a heartbeat, I’ve have already recommended them to friends and family who are planning trips to Sri Lanka.

Incredible experience with Wilpattu Safari. I spent 3 days looking for Leopards and Sloth bears in Wilpattu NP with lots of success. Really appreciate being with a guide and driver who understands photography and went out of their way yo get me in the right position. Great communication from start to finish. Highly recommend and will be back!

We were very satisfied with our chosen provider. At 5 a.m. sharp the driver picked us up in Anuratapura and took us to the entrance to the national park. About the safari itself: Our jeep driver and our guide were very experienced, were able to show us over 30 animals and tell us a lot about them. The experience particularly paid off when we looked for the Leopard and was one of only 6 cars to find it. Our guide knew exactly where to look. Luckily, he was also a wildlife photographer and took the shot with his pro camera at just the right moment and made the photo available to us. We are very grateful for that. The food was also very tasty. 5 out of 5 stars. Without any compromises.

Mindaka was a great guide! My sister and I really enjoyed the full day safari with him. We even managed to spot a leopard 🐆 bonus points for Mindaka being a wild photographer. We got a great souvenir of beautiful leopard shots. 😊

I had a great tour with these guys. My guide Jani was fantastic; loads of knowledge and amazing at spotting wildlife.
We saw leopards and sloth bears (plus crocodiles, buffalo, different kinds of deer, turtle, tortoise, lizards, tons of birdlife and more).
The jeep was super-comfortable. I get occasional lower back pains but 10+ hours in this Jeep was no problem.
The breakfast & lunch were also very tasty!
I would highly recommend this company.

We had an amazing day with Wilpattu safaris 10/10
Communication arranging the booking was very clear and helpful
The day it self was just incredible.. at first we were not sure to get a guide next to the driver but is was very worth it. Mindaka was very knowledgeable and puts a lot of effort and passion in to the park itself. He not only knows a lot about the animals but also their behaviour, allowing for great encounters with Leopards and anything else. Our driver Chamo was very skilled in understanding where to position the jeep in order to spent time with the animals without threatening their natural behavior and keeping other visitors in mind
Unforgettable and very worth it. Thank you!!

Really interesting safari. The guys who followed us all day were very kind. The nice thing about this place is that being a natural park, the animals are totally free. We also managed to see two Leopards. An experience that I recommend for those who love seeing animals in their own habitat and without too much tourist chaos.

Superb safari with Mindaka (our guide) and Gihan (our driver).
The first hour and a half gave us some uncertainties about the day: back and forth always on the few meters of tracks, discussions between drivers each time we cross paths before heading back and heading back... Not too many explanations about what's going on, we get a little tossed around.
But in the end we lie in wait and our guide explains to us which leopard has been seen in the area, where its cubs are, etc. And half an hour later we come across her almost by chance.
A little later, a second leopard found in another section of the park.
And crocodiles, turtles, lobsters, an elephant (well, just its butt), etc.
You have a good experience, but it must be said otherwise you were lucky to come across these two leopards.

We got up early to go on a safari in Wildpattu. We did not have high expectations because we have already done several safaris in South Africa, but our expectations were exceeded! Mahela and Nandun are two wildlife spotting experts. You can see that these men have a passion for what they do! Mahela informed us well about the animals and the park in which they live. Do you want a top safari? Then book your Safari here!
