The Park is home to Leopards, Elephants, Crocodiles and a vast array of birds and other flora and fauna. Unlike the more famous Yala National Park in the south, you will be one of very few tourists in the park and be able to experience a true sense of wilderness.

Wilpattu National Park, Wilpattu

Take a trip to Sri Lanka's largest National Park and immerse yourself in the wilderness.
