Best months for Wilpattu: Feb-Sep — dry season concentrates wildlife around water. Sightings peak: leopards, sloth bears, elephants. Avoid heavy rain months when jeeps can get stuck. Book jeep + guide 2-4 weeks ahead in peak season.

Best times of day: dawn (5:30-9am) for cool active wildlife, dusk (2-6pm) for late feeders. Full-day safaris increase sighting rates by 40-60% vs half-day. Bring binoculars, camera with zoom, sunscreen, water.
