Visit Wilpattu which means 'natural lakes' in Sinhala and '10 lakes' in Tamil and lakes are exactly what you'll find at Wilpattu National Park. Visitor numbers remain low, even in high season, which gives Wilpattu a genuine sense of wilderness. On the flip side, however, the dense forest and general skittishness of the animals means that actually sighting wildlife is less of a sure thing than in the country's more-visited parks. This is a place for the more dedicated safari-goer.

Inclusions: Transport by air-conditioned Car/ Van /Bus, Round-trip transfer, English Speaking Driver Cum Guide, National Park fees, Jeep Service For Safari, Bottled water, Complimentary WiFi Excess During the Travel (Subjected To Availability)

It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing food and service. Staff are extremely polite and friendly and I just want to say that, in addition to awesome food, we had a delightful waiter, “Dhanushka”. He had just the right balance of friendliness and efficiency. He recognized that we wanted time to visit and made certain that we had everything we needed.

Great service - incredibly flexible and made you feel safe and secure during these trying times We originally reached out to Arun to help plan a 12 day custom itinerary - he was super responsive and accomodating but also suggested new ideas I didn’t think of or pushed back if my list of items was too much for short period. Unfortunately, due to the rise in cases, we need to cut our trip last minute. He really helped take care of us when we went from a 12 day to 4 day including scheduling pcr tests, scrambling to find a safe and secure hotel and even coming into the office on Sunday to sort it out as we didn’t have WiFi at camp Ravi, our guide/driver is very personable and loves to share his love for Sri Lanka with you. Open to all questions about life, culture and history - he made an otherwise boring 2 hour transfer feel like part of our trip! He also was super accommodating with our changing plans as we were hesitant to do some items with the rapidly changing COVID situation. He went above and beyond to answe our questions, and schedule a Buddhist lecture and meditation session Thank you both for taking care of us these last few days ! Highly recommend!
