Well planned and well executed! - The trip was well planned and made everything easy for our group. First time client but would definitely recommend to friends and probably going to start planning the next get away. All good and accommodations were taken care of and pricing was reasonable as well.

Our driver was punctual... - Our driver was punctual and got us to the park in good time. Our safari guide/driver was passionate and driven to have us see everything the park had to offer - we saw a sloth bear, a leopard, 2 elephants, and a bunch of other wildlife. So fun! We highly recommend this experience!

Leopards, crocodiles, and birds! Oh my! - Fabulous day in Wilpattu. We had a fantastic guide who seemed to be the most knowledgeable guide in the park. The guides appear to be independent operators of tours so there was a big difference between groups. My husband and I were alone with our guide who carried a guidebook to birds of Sri Lanka. He was extremely familiar with the numerous trails and roads. He was able to anticipate the movement and location of different animals throughout the day. None of the guides seemed proficient in English so it is what it is. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. The day was long and tiring but a half day tour would have missed seeing at least a few of the animals we really had on our list. We saw crocodiles and leopards, boar, macaques, mongoose, iguanas and well more than 75 birds. The disappointment was that the park has no shop and no literature. I wanted to purchase a book or field guide and couldn’t. I wanted to learn about the many animals we saw but had no way to accomplish that. I would have spent money!!! No souvenirs to be had.

Great day at an amazing park (but long) - We had a very early pick up (4am) from our hotel ready for approximately a 3hr drive to Wilpattu. Our driver Thilanka was great. He was chatty, fun, informative throughout the journey there and back, and very importantly he was a safe driver. At the park we were met by our park guides. We were in the park for nearly 10hours but got to see all the main animals including a leopard, which was amazing. Although they weren't as informative as I would have liked, they were good and also provided a lovely breakfast and lunch. Once again our driver was very good on the drive home. Despite it being a very long day it was great and made more so by our driver Thilanka. Thank you.

Excited at wilpattu National park - There are approximately 40 species of malmmals in the Wilpattu National Park. One of the best place to see Sri Lankan Lepords. Not only that we were lucky to see sloth bear, deer. Wetland birds. Safari jeep experience was good. Memorable. Each visit encourage to visit more and more. But should travel in the right seasons. Not difficult to spot many animals during the journey. Enjoyed. Thanks.
