What to Expect

Experience a truly authentic wildlife adventure with a Wasgamuwa National Park safari, one of the most peaceful and crowd-free safari experiences in Sri Lanka. This Wasgamuwa jeep safari starts at the Wasgamuwa National Park entrance, where your private safari jeep and wildlife expert will meet you before entering the park. Located in the heart of Sri Lanka’s dry zone, Wasgamuwa National Park Sri Lanka is known for its beautiful forests, rivers, grasslands, and diverse wildlife. During this Wasgamuwa national park jeep safari, visitors can encounter large elephant herds, deer, crocodiles, wild buffalo, butterflies, and many bird species including eagles, while there is also a chance to see leopards and sloth bears.

The park is part of the lush Wasgamuwa forest ecosystem, and because it is located close to Riverston, the area enjoys relatively cooler weather compared to many other parks. This Wasgamuwa safari jeep service offers two private safari options: Tour Option A – a 4-hour safari available as Sunrise Safari at 6:00 AM, Morning Safari at 7:00 AM, or Afternoon Safari at 1:30 PM, and Tour Option B – a 6-hour safari available as Sunrise Safari at 6:00 AM, Morning Safari at 7:00 AM, or Afternoon Safari at 12:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore deeper into the park and experience its rich wildlife.

 Verified Perfect way to get from Kandy to Trinco with an amazing safari to see wild elephants!
Tour was excellent from start to finish. I had been looking for transport from Kandy to Trinco and came across this tour advertised in a few places. Had a couple questions, so reached out directly to the operator. They were brilliant; responsive, answered questions and so booked directly. Breaking up the long drive from Kandy to Trinco with a safari helps you ensure that you are making the most out of the day. Driver was on time, friendly, nice vehicle. Swapped to jeep with a guide midway, who took us to Minneriya National Park. They flex between a couple national parks depending on where the elephants are gathering. August being an excellent time to visit, given it is the largest known gathering of Asian elephants in the world, also means the parks can be busy… the safari guide had planned ahead an bought tickets in advance, so we didn’t have to wait to enter. We had the most amazing experience, with lots of elephants migrating and very close up to our jeep. A fruit snack stop on the way back to our shuttle vehicle and then smooth remainder of the journey on to Trinco. Highly recommend this shuttle and safari option for crossing Sri Lanka between Kandy and Trinco. Thank you.

 Verified Snorkeling off season
The driver and guide were first class. Pleasebe aware that snorkeling out of season can be a challenge with strong currents and coral reefs that can cut you. Despite this we saw turtles, including a very large one. Worth the experience for 1 hour30 minutes in the water.

 Verified Made our travels Trincomalee-Arugam Bay-Negombo simple and safe.
We used this transport company twice during our trip to Sri Lanka, and both experiences were fantastic. Our drivers were friendly, courteous, and drove with great care. They were more than happy to stop whenever we needed a bathroom break or wanted to stretch our legs, which made the journeys so much more comfortable. Sri Lanka’s roads can be quite an adventure, so it was incredibly reassuring to know we were travelling with such safe and experienced drivers. The company was wonderful to deal with from start to finish. Communication was prompt and efficient, booking and payment were simple, and we received quick confirmation along with all our driver’s details. Everything was organised so professionally. We highly recommend this company to anyone travelling in Sri Lanka and would happily use them again. Thank you for making our travels so easy and enjoyable!

 Verified Toller Start in den Tag mit vielen Delfinen 🐬
Unsere Tourguides haben sehr auf die Gesundheit der Delfine geachtet und nicht jedem Delfin hinterhergejagt wie man andere Boote die an dem Tag unterwegs waren. Wir wurden mit Snacks und Trinken gut versorgt und die Abholung fand direkt vor unserem Hotel statt. Sehr schöner Morgen 🐬

 Verified Trivelig og komfortabel båttur på utkikk etter hval
Til tross for at vi ikke fikk sett hval, ble dette en fin opplevelse. Vi fikk noen fine opplevelser med delfiner, og turen ble arrangert selv om det bare var vår gruppe på 4 personer som deltok. Det ble derfor mer å betegne som en eksklusiv privat 8 timers cruisetur for vår del. Mannskapet var svært hyggelige og frokost og lunsj som var en del av pakken var svært velsmakende. Bestillingsprosessen med oppfølging fram til oppmøte var svært bra. Vi er veldig glade for at vi bestilte tur der det var satt av tid til snorkling etter båtturen. Området for snorkling/ vannaktiviteter var langs klippene syd i Dutch Bay. Det kan selvsagt ikke sammenlignes med et korallrev, men mye spennende fisk og relativt klart vann. Turen anbefales på det varmeste. Båten (katamaranen) var glimrende til formålet og sikkerhet føltes godt ivaretatt. Noen tips til forbederinger: Det var mye vind og derfor litt sjø den dagen. Kanskje burde det vært opplyst om at dette var dårlige forhold, slik at turen kanskje kunne utsettes. Ut fra vår kunnskap skjønte vi selv at det var liten sannsynlighet for å få se hval under disse forholdene. Men vi fikk båten for oss selv og hadde det utmerket. Kanskje kunne mannskapet også vært mer guider; fortalt hvilke delfiner vi så, hvilke hvaler som pleier å være der, fortalt litt mer om omgivelsene, etc. Alt i alt; veldig bra.

 Verified Good experience
They were very responsive on whatsapp and very helpful helped us arrange everything on a short notice. Driver came to pick us up on time but the car seats were very dirty and it smelled. We changed to a safari car 4x4 near the gate. Our guide was very informative and friendly his driver was also very good. We enjoyed our breakfast in the reserve. We saw a lot of wild animals but unfortunately didnt see a leopard. A very good experience on the way to mirissa either way. We changed cars again and was dropped off to the hotel.
