Explore Sri Lanka’s largest national park and spot elusive leopards in the wild.
A Leopard Safari Wilpattu is one of the best wildlife adventures in Sri Lanka. The park is the largest in the country and is famous for its natural lakes, called villus. These lakes attract both predators and prey, creating perfect spots to see leopards.
Your safari begins early in the morning, when animals are most active. Leopards often walk near the lakes or rest in the shade. You may also see elephants, sloth bears, spotted deer, and many birds.
Unlike Yala, Wilpattu is less crowded. Because of this, the park feels calm and natural. Guides share stories about the park’s history and explain how each animal survives in its wild home.

Overview
A leopard-watching safari is the best way to see Sri Lanka’s most famous predator. Leopards live in forests, grasslands, and rocky areas. Each drive gives you a chance to watch them in the wild.
You will also meet elephants, deer, monkeys, and many birds. Guides know the best routes and the right times for sightings. First, you explore open plains. Then, you move into shaded forests. Later, you enjoy meals in scenic spots. Finally, as the sun sets, leopards often appear again.
Leopards in Sri Lanka are unique. They are larger than those in many other countries. Because there are no lions or tigers here, leopards are the top predator. This makes Sri Lanka one of the best places in the world to spot them.
In addition, leopards are not the only highlight. Herds of elephants, colorful peacocks, and rare owls also cross your path. With expert guidance and smooth planning, every moment of this safari feels rewarding.
