Wilpattu National Park, located in the northwest of Sri Lanka, is the country’s largest national park and a haven for wildlife lovers seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure. The park is famous for its “Willus”, natural lakes scattered throughout the forest, which attract a variety of animals and provide stunning photographic opportunities.
Visitors can spot leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and many endemic bird species. Unlike more crowded parks, Wilpattu offers a serene and raw wilderness experience, with fewer tourists and untouched landscapes. Safari tours here allow travelers to immerse themselves in nature, enjoy peaceful scenery, and witness the behavior of wild animals in their natural habitat.
