About this experience

Wasgamuwa National Park strekt zich uit over de distrikten Matale en Polonnaruwa en behoort tot Sri Lanka's meest prominente wildreservaten. Het gevarieerde landschap — met open graslanden, beboste gebieden en rivierhabitats — biedt onderdak aan een opmerkelijke diversiteit aan soorten, met name grote kuddes olifanten naast luiaards, luipaarden en een rijke vogelbevolking.

Een drieuurige begeleide safaritocht met jeep stelt bezoekers in staat om door de verschillende habitatzones van het park te rijden in het gezelschap van een Engelssprekende lokale chauffeur, die vertrouwd is met het terrein en de daar levende wilde dieren. Vroeg in de ochtend en in de late namiddag zijn de beste tijden om te bezoeken, met aangename temperaturen en de grootste kans op waarnemingen terwijl dieren door hun natuurlijke omgeving bewegen.

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…
