Leopard Trails Wilpattu

Set within the wild heart of Sri Lanka’s Wilpattu National Park, Leopard Trails offers an authentic and intimate safari experience in one of the country’s most remote and untouched wildlife reserves.

Known for its diverse ecosystems and famous for its elusive leopards, Wilpattu is one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and largest national parks, and Leopard Trails provides a unique and immersive way to experience its natural beauty. The camp is designed for discreet luxury, with spacious, custom-built safari tents that combine comfort and wilderness. Each tent is thoughtfully equipped with plush bedding, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandahs, providing a cosy retreat after a day spent in the park. The camp’s open-sided lounge and dining areas offer spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness, while gourmet meals showcase the best of Sri Lankan cuisine, prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Expert naturalist guides lead game drives and walks through the park, where guests can expect to see leopards, elephants, sloth bears, and a wide range of other wildlife. The camp’s low-impact, eco-friendly ethos ensures minimal disruption to the environment, making it the perfect choice for those seeking an exclusive, eco-conscious safari experience. Leopard Trails Wilpattu offers personalised service, privacy, and a deep connection to nature, providing an unforgettable way to explore one of Sri Lanka’s most untamed national parks.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North Eat India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
