I went to Wilpattu yet again with my usual photography fried and his wife in the 4th week of October and this time was able to book Menikwila bungalow . However the initial plan was to go with my family and my cousin who came from Dubai for 2 days and stay in Tree house villa just outside the entrance on the 1st day but they had to opt out as my wife and daughter got the flu a couple of days before and my cousin was bitten by a domestic dog .
