The park is located on the west coast with the closest accessibility from the city of Anuradhapura. In 1938, the park was declared a wildlife sanctuary with the natural freshwater lakes being home to many animal and bird species. During the 30 year long civil war in the country, Wilpattu National Park remained closed and was re-opened for visitors in 2010. Since then it has been gradually gaining popularity as a spot on location to discover wildlife in South East Asia as well as an exciting spot for camping. Your jeep safari driver will explore the park with you and try to the best of his ability to show you as many animals of the wild as possible. This is a half day jeep safari experience in the wild!

Unforgettable Safari in Wilpattu
My recent safari experience in Wilpattu National Park, arranged by Blue Lanka Tours, was absolutely excellent and is something I would highly recommend to everyone. From the start, the coordination was seamless thanks to Amesha at Blue Lanka Tours. He flawlessly coordinated with the ground team and drivers, leaving us with zero worries. The team of safari jeeps was top-notch; our jeep was in great condition, and the driver was incredibly friendly and prioritized our comfort throughout the entire journey. The full tour lasted close to six hours and offered a breathtaking display of Sri Lankan wilderness. We were fortunate to witness beautiful scenery and an amazing array of wildlife, including peacocks, various other birds, a Bear, a Leopard, Crocodiles, and Deer. The driver was extremely knowledgeable, providing interesting explanations about the animals and their behavior, which truly enhanced the experience. This was an amazing, well-organized, and professional tour. If you are planning a visit to Wilpattu, you must book with Blue Lanka Tours—you won't regret it!

Safari, Wilpattu
It was a super fun Safari!! We saw a lot of animals and enjoyed it immensely! Our guide was also a super sociable man, laughed along a lot and found out about certain animals.
Response from the operator: Dear Zoey, Thank you for your kind review about your day tour to Wilpattu. We are glad that you had the best time with your dedicated guide, Pradeep. He puts in alot of care and effort for our guests, and he truly deserves your praise. Pradeep also mentioned that you got to witness a leopard during the safari, it is one of the most exciting sightings that anyone could spot during a game drive. Also, we were thrilled to hear that you enjoyed Sri Lankan cuisine. Even though this was a short trip, we believe we could offer you the best possible experince and we sincerely hope that we would be able to host you again in Sri Lanka to explore more of what this beautiful country has to offer.

Fabulous Sri Lanka
We actually did a 7 day tour of Sri Lanka visiting 3 national parks many temples and our guide Sanjeewa was absolutely magnificent. Saw elephants, crocodiles including one taking a bird, a sloth bear and many many birds. Anyone thinking of visiting Sri Lanka should use blue Lanka and ask for Sanjeewa.
Response from the operator: Dear Lorraine, Thank you very much for your kind review about your experience with us. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your vacation in Sri Lanka and Sanjeewa was a good companion along the way. We were also told that you really liked your safari experience and also the hike to Sigiriya rock. Climbing 1200 steps is not an easy task, we are so glad that you made it! At Blue Lanka Tours, we take pride in creating luxury travel experiences showcasing the best of Sri Lanka has to offer. We are so grateful that you and your husband got to experience our beautiful country and that we were able to be a part of it. Thank you for recommending us, it means a lot! We hope you will visit us again in the future to explore more of Sri Lanka. With Big Respect and Much Love, Dinesh N. Perera

Sri Lankan Safari
My husband and I loved the safari. We got to see so many animals in their natural habitats and we were lucky enough to spot a few leopards. Our tour consultant Sanjeewa was so informative and jolly, a very good fellow.

We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the Wilpattu Safari, it’s such a special place, and spotting leopards is always an unforgettable highlight. We’re also so glad to know that Sanjeewa made your day tour extra enjoyable with his informative and cheerful nature.

It was a pleasure organizing this experience for you, and we sincerely hope this is just the beginning of your adventures in Sri Lanka. There’s still so much more beauty, culture, and nature waiting to be explored, and we hope our paths cross again for an even more memorable journey in the future.

All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anuradhapura.
How much does All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura cost?
+
Prices start at $156 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anuradhapura usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Anuradhapura is not rushed.
Is All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Anuradhapura, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Anuradhapura can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Anuradhapura and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does All Inclusive Wilpattu National Park Day Tour From Anuradhapura start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Anuradhapura within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Anuradhapura?
+
On Outty we rank every Anuradhapura experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private City Day Tour in Anuradhapura, Anuradhapura Heritage Mountain bike / bicycle Tour, Mountain Bicycle Group Tour Anuradhapura & History with Buddhism. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Anuradhapura?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Anuradhapura?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
