Leopard Trails Wilpattu

Leopard Trails was everything we could have hoped for from our first visit to Sri Lanka and the Wilpattu National Park. Malmi and the whole team went above and beyond to make this experience unforgettable. We particularly enjoyed the game drives in the park and Malmi and our driver took extra care to introduce us to the wonders of the park. We saw leopards, a sloth bear, deer and peacocks. The accommodation was very comfortable (including AC in the tents!) and the meals were terrific. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Amazing attention to detail from arrival to departure. Our assigned host was awesome. He was informative, witty and he knew everything we needed to know. The meals were impressive and the service was phenomenal.

Leopard Trails was one of the highlight stays of our Sri Lankan vacation. Its glamping with a capital G, and very good value for money. Just a few km from the Wilpattu park entrance, we went on 2 safaris and of course saw Leopard, Sloth bear, elephant and a bunch of other species. But TBH it was the stay in this luxury camp, with its spacious safari style tent rooms, its wonderful staff and food that was amongst the best we had in Sri Lanka. I 100% recommend staying here.

- The location is amazing. So unique, we were very impressed. - Food was excellent! Always fresh and so tasty. - Malmi was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The Jeep Safaris were outstanding.

The camp itself was phenomenal. The tents were incredible - this is glamping at its very best! The food was sublime - best food I’ve ever had at a hotel. The waiting staff were very attentive.

The all day Safari was not at all enjoyable - in fact it was completely boring and tedious. It was eleven hours of driving on dirt roads - hardly without a break - and no animals to be seen (except the odd bird) for the first ten and a half hours. One of the least enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had - and we have travelled extensively. The advice from the guide to do a full day safari and stay in the camp rather than two half days was not good. There are very few visable animals in the park and during the hours of 10-3pm, any animals are under the forest canopy. this meant we literally drove around seeing nothing at all for hours on end. The guide was OK - very knowledgeable about animals and provided functional updates - but no energy and not what I would have expected for the level of quality of Leopard Trails. Very disappointing given the exceptionally high standard of the camp - I would warn people to have low expectations of any animal sightings on the Safari (we saw more animals driving to Wilpattu than in the national park).

The rooms, service and their food!

My partner and I had a wonderful overnight stay here. Our tent was spacious, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We greatly enjoyed all of our meals. The staff were all very warm and friendly and the service was impeccable. In particular, we wish to thank Probar who was our host and guide on the game drives - he was very hospitable and had great knowledge of the local flora/fauna, and we really enjoyed our time with him. We loved the quiet / secluded location of the camp - you really felt like you were in the heart of nature. We went out on an afternoon game drive and an early morning game drive, which were both great experiences. A highly recommended place to stay if you are visting Wilpattu National Park.
