Amazing adventure - Amazing experience. We were lucky enough to see a leopard, an elephant and a bear (apart from amazing birds and monkeys!). The most important thing- guys were really looking after us through the journey and kept us well fed! We will be using their services in our next trips to this beautiful country.

Great Experience with Nuwan - We had a wonderful time in the park with our guide Nuwan (whose mother had prepared us a super yummy lunch!). We unfortunately only saw the tail end of one elephant, but we DID get to see a leopard which was very exciting! We also saw plenty (PLENTY) of spotted deer, water buffaloes, macaques, crocodiles, and many different bird species. Breakfast and lunch (with drinks) were included. Pick-up and drop-off from/to Negombo went smoothly. Only downside was the lack of bathroom breaks. In a perfect world, there would be more toilets, but it’s a national park so it was expected (if you know beforehand that you have a small bladder, it’s better to make up a plan with your guide on when to get back to the resting area. The bumpy ride was really a trigger…). Also worth noting that there are proper bathrooms with plumbing at the resting area, but there was NO running water (and no paper) for flushing (however, there is a manual water pump outside where we could rinse out hands). Plan accordingly.

Seen 3 times the SriLankan Leopard! And various other animals.. Its was a long but with meals perfectly served (breakfast/lunch) in between all worth it. Great day!

10/10 would recommend - Went on a day trip to Wilpattu with Wondrous Tours. We had a 4am pickup at a hotel in Waikkal, an early start at the park and finished close to 6pm. Then got drop off around 9pm at the hotel. Everything from start to end was organised including food, water, and tickets so it was really convenient to not stress about the details. The tour guide at the park was super friendly too. Overall we had a lovely day out :) If you find a full day a bit too full on, the tour company is super flexible so you could arrange something suitable. We also used the same tour company to book another signseeing transfer by van.

Amazong safari with great tour guide! - We had an amazing day in Wilpattu Park! We had arranged pickup from Sigiriya which went super smoothly and our driver was very friendly and had a calm driving style. Our tour guide at the park was great as well, very knowledgeable and had eyes like an eagle! I think we would have missed at least half of the animals we have seen without him. He made sure we got to see as much as possible and we even saw a leopard on the hunt. On top of that, we were provided with an amazing lunch, which was completely vegan as we had asked for. All in all, i would definitely recommend this safari, it was 100% worth the money.

Beautiful tour/safari - A great tour with jeeps that roam around the park and show you a large amount of animals of all kinds, elephants, monkeys (beware that they steal your food) buffalo, crocodiles, leopards, snakes and others that make the day pleasant as it is a nice sight! I'd love to do it again.

beautiful day at Wilpattu Park - The tour was very nice. We saw many rare animals and lunch was typical Sri Lankan. Our guide was very experienced and saw many animals where others just drove by. He was very friendly and could provide us with lots of information about each animal. Unfortunately, the price is well above average, hence a star deduction.

Disappointing! - The organization in advance was good and the transfer from Sigiriya to Wilpattu was also very pleasant. The safari itself was unfortunately a bit disappointing. We booked the full-day version and canceled it after lunch. Our guide was very friendly and made an effort to find the animals. Unfortunately, however, he did not have sufficient knowledge of English. He could only give us the name of the animals. We had many questions (about the animals, the park, the process) and none of the questions could be answered. Sometimes the driver talked to the other drivers and left us unaware of what it was about. So we stood around several times for over 15 minutes without being told what we are doing here. We then had to ask other tourists what to see here and where to find the animal. So other tourists have taken on the duties of a guide. The descriptions of the guide were also misleading. The communication behaviour of the guides was significantly better in the competition. For this reason, we stopped the safari as it was unfortunately wasted time for us, without sufficient communication. Furthermore, Viator stated that binoculars would be provided. There were 1 binoculars that we had to share with the driver. We assumed that there were binoculars for each participant. Breakfast (toast with curry and boiled egg) and lunch (various curries) was very delicious. 3 stars so because of good organization and great transfer as well as good food and the friendliness of the guide. However, in retrospect we would book another provider, as there the communication is better. Especially for the immense price, I would have expected significantly more. Too bad!
