AUTHENTIC SAFARI EXPERIENCE
If you want to see the full range of Sri Lanka’s wildlife it makes sense to head for the country’s largest national park. And if you want to see leopards…
Leopard Trails Wilpattu is the place to stay on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Sri Lanka. And it isn’t just tracking leopards through dense Sri Lankan jungle that will give you the authentic safari experience. At Wilpattu you’ll be sleeping in authentic safari tents, with canvas walls and roofs, so the sounds of nocturnal animals hunting and calling to each other through the night will accompany – and perhaps inform – your dreams.
wildlife and birds you’ll see in Wilaputtu is almost endless
And in the daytime you’ll see them. Asian elephants and sloth bears. Spotted, barking and mouse deer. Mugger crocodiles and water buffalo. Brown-capped babblers and white-rumped shama. Purple-faced langurs and ruddy mongooses. Indian rock python and Sri Lankan hornbills. The list of wildlife and birds you’ll see in in Wilaputtu is almost endless.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
