About this experience
Board your air-conditioned private vehicle in Habarana for the drive to Wasgamuwa National Park, one of Sri Lanka's lesser-visited reserves and a stronghold for wild elephants. Once at the park gates, swap to a jeep and spend the safari scanning the scrub forest, wetlands, and reservoir edges where herds gather — buffalo, deer, and a rich variety of birdlife share the habitat alongside the elephants. A bottle of water per person keeps you refreshed as you cover the terrain over the course of the excursion. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and the trip runs as a private tour, so the pace suits your group.
The full day runs to eight hours, with a minimum age of seven. Entrance tickets, meals, and gratuities are not included, so bring local currency for the park gate. Lakpura handles the logistics — transport, jeep hire, and transfers from your Habarana hotel — leaving you free to watch the wildlife.

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…
