    Great day at Wilpattu. We have seen a lot of animals, including the well sought after Leopard! We had great communication with Trav Ceylon before hand who helped organise additional food for my son. The park is busy, but not as busy as some of the others, so well worth the visit. Only remark would be that it would have been a bit easier to communicate if the guide would have had more English skills...but we managed!

    Wilpattu is a huge and beautiful national park. I went for a full day Safari, for a total of 12 hours. I got to see elephants, crocodiles, monkeys swinging from tree to tree and many other animals. Going into the park, I was expecting to just “sit back and watch animals”. Instead, I experienced a constant thrill of searching to spot the next animal while we drove across sandy roads, along beautiful lakeshores and through forests. To add to this experience: each time we would meet another jeep, both the drivers and passengers would share updates about which animals they spotted where! I rarely felt bored throughout the 12 hour experience. Beforehand, I worried a bit about being in the heat outside for 12 hours. But sitting in the back of the jeep with a roof was comfortable. Even though it was hot outside, the breeze from driving was more than enough to keep me cool. I didn’t put on any sunscreen and didn’t even get a sunburn. As a little bonus, there was a family of monkeys at the spot we had lunch. And the little ones used the back of the jeep as a playground while we ate lunch and watched. Very cute! But be sure not to leave anything they may steal, or soon you will find yourself negotiating with a monkey in a tree to return your water bottle! For children with a shorter attention span, a half day safari may be more ideal. As adults it is easy to forget children experience time much more slowly. Towards the end of the 12 hours, I did see some children who were very tired.

    Had a great safari! We were picked up on time, food was neatly catered for and we had a very good driver who really spotted animals everywhere. After a long search even face to face with the leopard. It is a long and intensive day but also a very nice experience
