5.00The full-day safari at Wilpattu National Park with a guide was an unforgettable experience. From the early morning start to the golden sunset, we explored diverse landscapes filled with natural lakes, dense forests, and open plains. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out animal tracks, bird calls, and sharing stories about the park's history and wildlife. We were lucky to spot a leopard, several elephants, sloth bears, and many bird species. The peaceful atmosphere and fewer crowds made the experience even more special. Lunch near a waterhole added to the charm. A perfect day for nature and wildlife lovers!
