This tour should be on everyone's to-do list in Sri Lanka. The park itself is beautiful, and the wildlife is abundant. One of the few places to see peacocks in the wild, large crocodiles (I mean BIG), water buffalo, deer, and many beautiful bird species. There are leopards (about 300 in the park area) so your chances of seeing one here are pretty good. Be ready for a wild ride when one is spotted as the guides let everyone know to give us all the best chance to see one of these big cats in the wild.
Wondrous Tours did a superb job organizing our safari from start to finish. We were picked up at our hotel in Negombo and driven to the park where we met our outstanding driver and guide. We did 2 drives (morning and evening), were fed breakfast and a superb lunch made by our driver's wife. After our safari, we were returned to our hotel precisely at the time promised. 5-star organization for sure.
