About this experience
Spend two nights under canvas inside Wasgamuwa National Park, one of Sri Lanka's quieter wildlife reserves and a stronghold for wild elephants and leopards. Your private camp comes with mattresses, pillows, clean linen, and separate wash rooms, so you trade comfort for nothing. Full-board meals are included throughout, and the first evening ends around the B.B.Q fire with a limited supply of cool beer.
Four dedicated safari sessions take you deep into the park in the company of an English-speaking guide, maximising your chances of sightings at dawn, dusk, and beyond. Park entrance tickets are covered, and the trip runs over three days for guests aged five and above. Hotel pickup, personal expenses, and gratuities are not included, so arrange your own transfer to the park gate.

Very quiet park but its a long drive in.
Only 7 jeeps in the park the whole day. We found it good for birds but less so for anything other than the common creatures. Good number of open spaces.
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…
