Wanted to visit Wilpattu NP but just had a day after flying into CMB before heading south.. looked into possibilities to travel to Wilpattu myself and organise from there but all required xtra days. Found OVERA tours and they did a day safari from Negombo. Picked up early by an excellent driver in nice hybrid sedan and a very smooth drive to Wilpattu in less than 3 hours, Met there by safari jeep driver from Wilpattu Megha Safari who organised all entry tickets. Spent a full day in the park with an excellent rice&curry lunch (not just sandwich). Saw many animals and birds but really appreciated that my driver kept looking until I had the chance to see a leopard. Big highlight for me. Very smooth organisation. Thank you
