Book this Wilpattu Safari with confidence
The excitement of a Wilpattu safari lies in the unpredictability and thrill of the wildlife sightings. You never know what you might encounter during your safari, whether it's a majestic leopard stealthily walking through the jungle, or a group of playful elephants taking a bath in a nearby waterhole.
Several types of whales regularly visit the waters off the Kalpitiya coastline. The continental shelf comes in close to Alankuda Beach and therefore traveling far out into the open seas is not necessary.
The waters of Sri Lanka are home to an incredible range of marine creatures from massive blue whales all the way through to tiny creatures.
Apart from being a haven for kite surfers; Kalpitiya is also a popular place for snorkeling, diving, and dolphin-watching excursions. It is made up of 14 islands; home to local fishing communities as the waters around Kalpitiya are thriving with marine life.

November to March is the season for dolphin watching excursions, as this is when the seas are calm. During this period, hundreds of dolphins and in some instances thousands can be observed in large pods just ½ hour on shore.
Today you will enjoy an adventurous full-day safari at Wilpaththu National Park including breakfast and lunch at the Park. This is the largest national park in Sri Lanka. This Park is well worth as a standalone attraction as it records the second-highest leopard density in Sri Lanka, after Yala. It also admits a fewer number of visitors, which sets it in stark contrast to Yala National Park, which tends to get overcrowded. These reasons alone make this National Park a perfect alternative for proper safari-goers who prefer to see magnificent wild animals in their natural habitat while avoiding annoying crowds.
Kalpitiya is also a popular place Whale and dolphin-watching excursions as well. You can also meet pods of friendly Dolphins such as the Common dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins, Spinner dolphins, Risso’s dolphins and striped dolphins as they playfully somersault and dance on the ocean waves. There’s also a good chance of seeing flying fish, turtle, manta rays and even sharks.
There’s a reason why reef fishing is so popular! It’s easy for novice anglers to enjoy and it’s loads of fun. Chances are you’ll catch a fair amount of fish, and most of them will taste good, too.
The horses we have are all Marwari, Sindhi and part breeds (mix of thoroughbred and Marwari/indigenous breeds) all of them have curly ears- which the indigenous horses of India (Marwari, Sindhi, Kathiawar, Spiti) horses are famous for! Riding along the beaches and back lands of Kalpitiya at sunset is definitely one of the unique and thrilling experiences while visiting Sri Lanka.
