Night Safari

Night Safari – Wilpattu After Dark 🌙

Discover the Hidden Life of the Jungle

When the sun sets over Wilpattu, a completely different world awakens. The Wild Wilpattu Night Safari is a rare and exhilarating opportunity to witness the park’s nocturnal side—where the sounds are louder, the forest is mysterious, and animals roam under the cover of darkness.

This adventure is not about speed or distance—it’s about stillness, patience, and discovering the unseen. Our night safari is conducted in buffer zones and private wilderness areas near the park, with a strong focus on safety and sustainability.
