Wilpattu National Park

We had booked a safari at 2 p.m. The driver was on time and after buying the entrance tickets at the counter (25€ per person and 10€ per car + 18% tax) we were able to drive into the park with a few other jeeps. Our guide was super attentive when looking for animals and stopped long enough for us to take photos. After an hour and a half we had seen many other animals and birds but no leopards. Our driver was persistent and patiently asked the oncoming jeeps if there had been a sighting. Although all the jeeps said no, he remained hopeful and in the end we were lucky. An oncoming jeep told him a place and he drove there immediately. Here you could clearly see that he knew his way around and really wanted it to be an experience for us. When we arrived the leopard was still there. The driver's patience and persistence paid off here. It was very important to him that we could see as much as possible. Thank you for that!
