A very good time

5.00The trip was a great time. Both the driver who took me to the park and the 4WD driver within the park were excellent. It was, of course, a very long day, about 13 hours door to door, of which about 4 were spent on the safari. The 4WD driver was knowledgeable about the various animals and did everything possible to find them. I saw two leopards, two sloth bears, one elephant, two crocodiles, three land monitors, one barking deer, and numerous water buffalo, spotted deer, peacocks, and birds in impressive variety and number, among other wildlife. If I had one thing to criticize, it would be that the online advertising for the tour notes that the cost of park entry and of the 4WD vehicle in the park are not included, but does not say how much these costs will be. That suggests they are not very significant, but they are: they add more than 60 percent to the advertised price. I did not mind paying them, but I think the online advertising should do a better job in this regard.
Family Adventure with Rahul.

5.00Our family safari with # Wilpattu National Park Leopard safari from Colombo/Negambo was unforgettable. Rahul, our guide, was patient and knowledgeable, helping the children spot wildlife safely. The leopards and other animals amazed us, while the scenic views of the park made the experience even more special. It was a perfect balance of excitement and relaxation, allowing us to enjoy nature together. Every detail, from transport to the itinerary, was thoughtfully arranged. We left with happy memories and a stronger bond as a family.
Well organized and great wildlife tour.

5.00One of my best trips in Sri Lanka. Picked up at 8.30 am and reached to park at 12.30 pm then jeep was arranged by jk travels. All the information shared in advanced and I prepared myself with cash for the entrance. It was such a lovely trip and could see many wild animals and the park was so calm. The driver was super friendly and he was guided me during the safari. The safari was around 4 hours and reached to hotel by 9 pm. Well organized and had fun.

5.00This was a great tour. Here some details. Our tour started at 7:30 we arrived at the entrance about 12:30. And our safari lasted till 17:30. We returned to Colombo at about 21:30. The cost of entrance was 23k rupees for 2 visitors (me and my wife) and additional cost for the car with driver of 19k. (It is better to have a cash as I when I wanted to pay by card I was told that terminal is not working) We saw a lot of animals and birds deers, elephants, crocodiles, lizards. And 1 leopard. Yes you need to keep in mind that these guys a very sneaky and sensitive to loud sounds so it is very difficult to spot them. So in my opinion it was the great tour in a very beautiful place. Additional thanks to our guide who taken us from the Mount Lavinia and was with us all the time.
Fantastic leopards safari !
