Description complète
Wilpattu couvre bien plus de mille kilometres carres de foret de zone seche au nord de Puttalam, et son caractere vient des villus, des lacs naturels peu profonds qui retiennent l'eau longtemps apres que la foret environnante s'est assechee. Les animaux y viennent, et un bon traqueur planifie la sortie autour de ceux qui sont actuellement productifs.
Cette sortie est calee sur l'un des deux extremes de la journee. L'option lever du soleil entre a l'ouverture des portes, quand la lumiere est basse, l'air encore frais et les leopards les plus susceptibles d'etre sur les pistes de sable. L'option coucher du soleil se deroule pendant les dernieres heures de lumiere, quand les villus se remplissent de cerfs et de buffles et que le ciel au-dessus de l'eau est a son meilleur pour les photos. Dans tous les cas, vous etes dans le parc pendant environ quatre heures.
L'animal phare de Wilpattu est le leopard, et la densite du parc est respectable, mais les observations dependent de la chance. Ce que vous pouvez raisonnablement attendre, c'est le pays des ours paresseux pendant les mois de fructification, des cerfs tachetes, des sambars, des sangliers, des buffles, des crocodiles marins aux marges des villus, et une vie d'oiseaux forte.
Vous voyagez dans un 4x4 ouvert avec un chauffeur qui agit aussi comme traqueur et guide. Le vehicule est le votre plutot qu'une navette partagee, donc le rythme de la sortie est le votre a fixer dans les regles du parc.
La chose principale a peser, c'est d'ou vous partez. Wilpattu est loin de Colombo, environ trois a quatre heures de route dans chaque sens, donc une prise en charge depuis Colombo transforme cela en une tres longue journee, dix heures ou plus avec la plupart passee sur la route. Si vous logez a Anuradhapura, Negombo ou pres de l'entree a Hunuwilagama, la meme sortie s'integre confortablement dans une demi-journee. Choisissez l'option de prise en charge qui correspond a l'endroit ou vous vous trouvez reellement.

Avis des voyageurs
We had a great experience with Tiger safari! Our tour guide and the driver were exceptionally kind and worked out so we could see most of the animals in Wilpattu. We booked the half day safari and we got the chance to see leopards, buffaloes, peacocks, monkeys, crocodiles and a lot of birds!
We saw almost every kind of species in the park. Our driver Yala and the guide Avishka were amazing! Really Nice people, who love their job, kind and very helpfull. We spent one of the best days in lifes… thank you both ❤️
It was a very good experience. You pay a little less than when you book at a lodge or something. Our ranger was young, but he knew all about the animals. Very friendly, and we drove through the entire park within the time. He even came to pick us up an hour early. Because of this, we saw two leopards! Very cool! Thank you 🙏🏼
The transportation went very well; everything was perfectly organized. The driver and live guide were very committed and did everything to allow us to see as much as possible. I even think they made a detour at the end so that we could see the elephants. I would definitely recommend it; it was great!
Knowledgeable driver, great driver, round-trip transportation very good, everything super organized, we even got dust masks!
Awesome, saw a bunch of animals and our guide was great
The whole safari was so exciting! Very good communication, great transport and guide was also very great. I recommend this!
Today I had a wonderful experience at Will Pau National Park. The guide and his driver were truly attentive to my every need and answered all my questions. We toured the entire morning in the Jeep and were lucky enough to see several animals, including a leopard and an elephant. I highly recommend this experience.
The transportation from Negombo was great; a good car ride. The guide was able to provide us with a lot of information about the different animal species and always spotted them quickly so that he could show them to us.
