Safaritour - We had a good experience from pickup at the hotel until we were delivered again. The catering on the trip was with breakfast and dinner, it played too.

Full day safari - We had an amazing day! Our guide was very nice and prepared a lovely lunch for us. Unfortunately we did not see any elephants but, of course, it's wildlife. However, we managed to take a glimpse of a Leopard and observe two sloth bears among many other animals.

Great experience - We had booked an afternoon safari at 2pm. The driver was on time and after buying the tickets (more on that below) we were able to drive the park with few other jeeps. Our guide was super attentive in finding animals and also stopped long enough for us to take photos. After an hour and a half we had seen many other animals and birds but not a leopard. But our driver persisted and patiently asked the oncoming jeeps if there was a sighting. Although all jeeps denied this, he remains hopeful and in the end we were lucky. An oncoming jeep gave him a place to stay and he immediately drove there. Here you could clearly see he knows his stuff and really wants it to be an experience for us. When we arrived, the leopard was still there. This patience and tenacity of the driver has paid off here. He wanted us to see as much as possible. Thanks for that! Regarding admission fees: The driver takes one to the ticket counter. This gives you full transparency that there are no undue additional costs here. Admission costs 25€ per adult, for the jeep a total of 10€ admission is added. The current VAT is 18% and is charged on top. To be paid by card or cash in local currency at the current conversion rate.

To do it was amazing - An exceptional park! We saw everything we dreamed of seeing, elephants, leopards, varans, crocodiles etc... a wilderness very well preserved, benevolent drivers because the paths are really bumpy and it changes strongly! 5 hours of 4x4 ride to search, listen, it was really beautiful to see your animals in their natural environment without fences or cage!

Wondrous Wilpattu! - Wondrous Tours provided excellent communication and service. We were picked-up promptly at 0400 and taken to Wilpattu National Park. We were fortunate to see a sloth bear up-close and watched him forage for termites. The sound sloth bears make while eating is almost comical. We also saw leopards, mongoose, peacocks, elephants, monkeys, and a variety of birds. The prepared lunch was also delicious. While the entire trip took over 12-hours; it was time well-spent AND incredibly worth it! Thanks, Hiran-Kiran and Abey (our safari guide) with Wondrous Tours!

Amazing! - Amazing experience. Abi picked me up promptly at 7am and we set off for a full day, breakfast already made for me. Really lovely lunch (Sri Lankan Chicken curry, Rice, Beans, Dahl, Potatoes, Poppadom) We saw lots of colourful birds, leopards, sloth bear, no elephants. The scenery was stunning too. Big thank you to Abi who was very kind and patient in the afternoon which resulted in us spending more time seeing the leopards with no other jeeps around (amazing!!)

We had an excellent... - We had an excellent experience on this tour recently. We were picked up on time and enjoyed the full day safari. Highly recommend going for the full day. We saw 5 leopards with 3 being very close plus lots more. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable with all the animals and the best places to see them.
