Magical safari day trip! - This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, all in a single day. KaNe, the driver who brought me from Colombo to Wilpattu National Park, and back to Colombo was professional and courteous. Upon arriving at the Park I met Jothipala Herath, the guide. Mr. Herath spent the day showing me the park and so many beautiful animals and plants. We saw lots of birds- storks, peacocks, and even a plover- to name only a few. And monkeys, water buffalo, an elephant, a gorgeous leopard, and a sloth bear. Reptiles included two species of turtles, a crocodile, and a cobra. Beautiful butterflies and plants too! As a biologist, the biodiversity within all the regions of the park was breathtaking. Mr. Herath drove the jeep like a pro, and finding the animals seemed to bring him as much joy as it did me. The day was long. With the drive from Colombo to and from the Park, the adventure lasted from 0400-almost 2200, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend this experience!

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.
