About this experience
El Parque Nacional de Wasgamuwa se extiende por los Distritos de Matale y Polonnaruwa y se cuenta entre las reservas de vida silvestre más destacadas de Sri Lanka. Su paisaje variado —que abarca pastizales abiertos, áreas boscosas y hábitats ribereños— alberga una gama extraordinaria de especies, especialmente grandes manadas de elefantes junto con osos perezosos, leopardos y una rica diversidad de aves.
Un safari guiado de tres horas en jeep permite a los visitantes recorrer las diferentes zonas de hábitat del parque en compañía de un conductor local de habla inglesa, quien posee familiaridad con el terreno y la vida silvestre residente. Las primeras horas de la mañana y el final de la tarde siguen siendo los mejores momentos para visitar, ofreciendo condiciones más frescas y la mayor probabilidad de avistamientos mientras los animales se desplazan por su entorno natural.

There appears to be only one gate in from the south and its a long…

Relaxed morning
We were traveling with the driver Shameera. He speaks a bit of German and has a lot of experience as he has been touring for 10 years. He told us a lot about the animals. It was a nice morning!

A real alternative to the other parks, but beware: elephant attacks keep happening here
A really scenic park with a number of smaller elephant herds. However, attacks by the grey giants are really commonplace here, especially a cow likes to target the jeeps. With a knowledgeable jeep driver, however, this i…
