The park is renowned for its unique "villus" or natural lakes, which create an attractive environment for a wide range of wildlife. Home to a diverse range of animals, including leopards, elephants, sloth bears, and crocodiles, Wilpattu is a prime destination for safari enthusiasts and wildlife photographers. The park’s dense forests and dry-zone ecosystems also attract a variety of bird species, making it a haven for bird watchers. With its rich biodiversity, serene atmosphere, and fewer crowds compared to other parks, Wilpattu offers an exceptional wildlife experience.
