Top Lakes in Sri Lanka

I suggest wearing light, neutral-colored clothing to blend into the environment. It helps you feel more connected and you might be surprised by the number of animals you can see. I saw some great wildlife because of it

My advice is to bring your own snacks and water. The park’s kiosks are limited and overpriced. I learned the hard way and ended up having a grumbling stomach mid-safari!

I recommend visiting Wilpattu during the early morning, around 6 AM, when the wildlife is most active. You’ll have a higher chance of spotting leopards and other animals, trust me, it's worth it!

I think it’s smart to hire a local guide instead of a park ranger. The guides I met had so much knowledge about the area and the wildlife; they made my experience way better than I expected.
