The park is especially famous for its elusive leopards, making it one of the best places in Sri Lanka to spot these majestic big cats. As you venture deeper into the park, you may encounter large herds of elephants and shy sloth bears wandering through the forest. The park is also home to a variety of other wildlife, including spotted deer, water buffaloes, and mugger crocodiles lurking near the water’s edge.

My boyfriend and I were driven from Sigiriya to Wilpattu in a car, where we met with our jeep driver/guide at the safari for a private tour (we had the entire jeep to ourselves to our surprise!). There was a bit of delay to our tour, but our guide Pasindu was very experienced and knowledgeable about the forest reserve. We were lucky to have spotted a leopard in the afternoon! An unforgettable tour worth every penny!
