ChamodRathanayake

I grew up in a village on the boundary of Wilpattu National Park since childhood, and started leading visitors into the park since 2019. I have developed a deep understanding of Wilpattu's natural environment and the behavior of its animals.

My goal is to provide every visitor to Wilpattu with a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable safari experience. I will guide you through the park to witness the true beauty of nature while observing leopards, elephants, sloth bears, deer, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birds in their natural habitat.

Whether you are traveling alone, with your family, or with friends, I am ready to plan a safari that suits your needs and provide you with a reliable, friendly, and personalized service.

Hansa Sandaruwan

Hansa’s connection with Wilpattu goes beyond knowing its roads and trails. With a natural instinct for the wilderness and a keen eye for the details others may overlook, he brings a quieter, more personal side of the park to every safari. Patient, observant, and deeply respectful of nature, Hansa understands that the most remarkable encounters cannot be planned. His aim is simple: to let guests slow down, look closer, and experience Wilpattu on its own terms. “Out here, nature sets the pace. The real adventure is being there when it happens.”

— The fleet

Fleet

Specialised in low-angle safari jeeps.

Every jeep in our fleet is custom-built to sit low to the ground, so your camera meets the animal at eye level instead of looking down at it. Low angles mean cleaner backgrounds, softer light, and photographs that feel like you were there in the grass — not perched above it.

— What we believe

How we'd like to be remembered.

01

Slow is almost always better.

The forest rewards patience. We'd rather miss a sighting than rush one. You'll see more of the jungle this way, not less.

02

The animal is the guest.

We are the visitors. Every routing decision we make starts there.

03

Local first.

Every tracker, cook, and naturalist is from a village within an hour of the park. The money you spend stays in this corner of the country.

04

Honest about what we don't know.

If we can't identify a bird, we'll say so. If a leopard hasn't been seen in a week, we'll tell you that too. The point isn't to perform competence.
