What To Expect

Lunugamvehera National Park in Sri Lanka was declared in 1995, with the intention of protecting the catchment area of the Lunugamvehera reservoir and wildlife of the area. The national park is an important habitat for water birds and elephants. The catchment area is vital to maintain the water levels of the five tanks in the downstream of Kirindi Oya and wetland characteristics of Bundala National Park. This national park also serves as a corridor for elephants to migrate between Yala National Park and Udawalawe National Park. There are two entrances to the National Park. When we enter from the Weharagala entrance, there is a higher chance to encounter elusive Sri Lankan leopards and also more animals. Due to this we enter to the Lungamwehera National Park from the Weheragala entrance.

Had a great tour

Super fun tour! Ishan is very cheerful and could spot well. When something was seen he made sure he was there quickly which prevented us from being in super long traffic jams. The safari in Yala is recommended and especially with Ishan as driver!
Solitude and a lucky leopard sighting

We had a great safari with Hishan D. He was a safe driver, respectful of the animals, and he explained everything we saw. We were also lucky enough to see our only leopard of our trip when Hishan spotted fresh prints in the sand at the end of the day and quietly drove us into the clearing ahead where she was hiding in the bushes. When she disappeared into the brush, he knew where she'd likely re-emerge, earning us a second viewing. Lunugamwehera was also a great choice after visiting Block 1 the previous day, as we were the only jeep there that afternoon. Bring binoculars if you or your hotel have them!
Quiet but interesting

We were advised by our driver Kasun to add this park to our list for our stay. And although the park was quiet and the animals were less frequent than usual, we enjoyed the day all the same. The environment feels so different to the other yala parks. We got our breakfast stolen by a cheeky elephant also. Overall a fabulous day that I feel should be on people's bucket lists.
Don't dismiss block 5

Our driver arrived early and so we were first into the park. We hated the idea of loads of vehicles chasing around after animals and in fact we only saw 3 other vehicles the whole time we were in it. He wasn't a wildlife expert, but the driver was knowledgeable and looked out for different things we might be interested in. We saw lots of eagles (including a mid air fight between a fish Eagle and a sea eagle). Also, lots of spotted deer, buffalo, monkeys, kingfishers, land and water monitor lizards, huge crocodiles and even two leopards. One was sitting in the middle of the road, and the other later joined it. Particularly impressive was that even after we saw the 🐆 🐆, our driver didn't try to cut the trip short, thinking that's all we wanted. We got the full 5 hours in the park. Lastly, the vehicle was great. The two of us had the large safari jeep to ourselves. It had a glass front that could be flipped up for viewing but closed to prevent dust in your face when driving home. I was a bit nervous when I booked as this trip as didn't have any reviews and everyone seems to be so eager to go to blocks 1 and 2, but we were both very happy that I did.
