Full day (12h) North WesternFrom $145 / guest

Overview

Wilpattu is the island's oldest and largest national park, defined by its 'villus' — natural sand-rimmed lakes that draw leopard, sloth bear, spotted deer and hundreds of bird species. It sees a fraction of Yala's jeeps, so sightings feel private.
