Negombo Trip Overview
Today you will enjoy an adventurous full-day safari at Wilpattu National Park including breakfast and lunch at the Park. Wilpattu is the largest national park in Sri Lanka. Wilpattu National Park is well worth as a standalone attraction as it records the second-highest leopard density in Sri Lanka, after Yala. It also admits a fewer number of visitors, which sets it in stark contrast to Yala National Park, which tends to get overcrowded. These reasons alone make Wilpattu National Park a perfect alternative for proper safari-goers who prefer to see magnificent wild animals in their natural habitat while avoiding annoying crowds.
