COME AND EXPERIENCE WILPATTU VIA APP!
Wilpattu is the first national park in ๐ฑ๐ฐ with its own App, guiding you through the park! This is just one of the outputs of a German project worth 8 mn โฌ, carried out by GIZ. Check out the App, itโs innovative and fun!
Further to this, the project improves the parkโs attractiveness & accessibility (state-of-the-art visitors centers, new bridges, warden facilities) & enables communities in the parkโs influence zone to increase their income. Fabulous cooperation between GIZ & DWC. Well done!
