Wilpattu National Park Review: Our Honest Mahoora Safari Glamping Experience

Wilpattu National Park is Sri Lanka’s largest and oldest national park. It's known for its forests, open grasslands, and many natural lakes. It’s located in the northwest, around a four-hour drive from Colombo, and is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to spot wildlife.
