Wilpattu

Paysage de safari plus vaste et plus sauvage, dans le nord-ouest de l’île.

Introduction

Wilpattu séduit les voyageurs qui recherchent une atmosphère de safari plus large et plus calme, et acceptent d’aller plus au nord et à l’ouest que sur la route habituelle de Yala.

The park is known for its villus, or natural lakes, and functions more as a wilderness destination than as a quick add-on stop.

Ella is one of the island’s strongest visual destinations and works best as a slower hill-country section between cultural travel and the south.
