Guest Stories
Real memories from Wilpattu Best Safari
“
"We had a fantastic day on safari. We saw so many animals: crocodiles, deer, iguanas, and a leopard. We also saw many beautiful birds, such as the white-bellied sea eagle, the painted stork, several species of hornbill, and the paradise flycatcher. For us, as bird lovers, this was paradise. Our guide, Zion, was incredibly knowledgeable. He's a former park ranger and now works as a guide and organizes safaris. He's an incredibly kind, unassuming man with a wealth of knowledge about the animals and nature in the park. And he speaks excellent English. We highly recommend Zion and hope you have as wonderful a day with him as we had."

"Fantastic safari, thank you! I highly recommend booking a full day with Zion, it was a special experience and I really enjoyed it. Both Zion and the driver were very knowledgeable, sweet and friendly. We saw 2 leopards, 2 sloth bears, water buffalo, eagles and other tropical birds, lots of deer, 1 elephant and I learnt lots about the national park."

"My wife and I would like to thank Zion from Wilpattu Safari Tours for making our dreams come true by leading an amazing safari trip for us in Wilpattu National Park! We arrived in Sri Lanka just a couple of days after the rain that brought the tragic massive floods ended. Zion still managed to take us on a wildlife discovery trip, in a Wilpattu National Park where roads were often still submerged under water. Due to Zion's keen eye we met all the Big 5 that day: leopard, sloth bear, Asian elephant, water buffalo, mugger crocodile. Thank you one more time, Zion, for this unforgettable experience! We shall be back to Sri Lanka and Wilpattu."
