Wilpattu is actually Sri Lanka’s largest National Park and has only in the last couple of years reopened to visitors after the conflicts of the northern part of the country. The park is home to around 50 leopards which are the main drawcard as it offers a much less touristy experience than the national parks down in the south. The park is also home to elephants, spotted deer, sloth bears, wild pigs, crocodiles as well as a huge variety of birdlife. There is very limited accommodation at Wilpattu hence the majority of visitors would stay in nearby Anuradhapura which is approximately 45 minutes’ drive from the park’s entrance.
Our trip went very well and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. All the guides and drivers were really good except for the fellow in Beijing who picked us up and took us out on the Sunday - he was hard work. We really liked the accommodation in the traditional style hotels in the older areas.
