5.00It was an amazing experience. Our driver was very good and he saw a lot of animals which he had explained to us. As September is off season we‘ve been alone in a jeep with the guide. Due to more flexibility he was stopping for us to take photos anywhere. We‘ve seen many elephants, leopards, reptiles, kingfishers, parrots, eagles, turtles, crocodiles and so on. Willpattu is a must do🙌 Especially for wildlife photographers.
Amazing Experience in Wilpattu

5.00Not bad. The driver guide is the only one you can talk to, he is professional, showing us birdbook. I even ask him to identify the bird by sound, he did correctly get it. I was grateful. We saw a lot of animals: crocodiles(very close), foxes, owls, bulls, deers, etc. Downside: 1. because of rainy day, we couldn't see leapard, but the driver took us to hunt and wait for long time 2. didn't expect so many jeeps Anyway, not a bad trip, but i will prefer a walking tour to some forests.
