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. Your private camp sits on the tree-studded plains with mattresses, pillows, clean linen, and separate wash rooms — you trade city comforts for nothing but a roof. Full-board meals run throughout, and the first evening ends around the campfire with a three-course B.B.Q dinner and a limited supply of chilled beer. Bed down to the sounds of nightbirds and wake to their bright early-morning calls.

Four safari sessions — morning and afternoon across two days — take you deep into the park with an experienced guide. Watch herds of elephants, water buffalo, purple-faced langur, toque macaque monkeys and golden palm civet move through the reserve, and train your binoculars on the hundreds of bird species that nest and migrate here. Park entrance tickets are covered across the three-day trip, open to guests aged five and above. Hotel pickup, personal expenses and gratuities are not included.

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…
