Overview

This half-day safari will give you the chance of visiting Udawalawe National Park which is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see wild elephants. An Asian elephant herd, no less than 250, is permanently residing at Udawalawe national park. The park is capable of sustaining large numbers of elephants because of its abundant water sources. Hundreds of elephants annually migrate to the park from nearby protected areas as well. Udawalawe national park was created for elephants displaced by the construction of the adjoining Udawalawe reservoir. Furthermore, Udawalawe is an important bird area with a wide range such as aquatic, birds of prey, and land birds in abundance. If you like to explore Sri Lankan birdlife, morning safari experiences are known to include rare bird sightings frequently.

Loved my visit to Udawalawe

Published on Feb, 2020

A great safari experience. It is home to lots of animals. And also we saw variety of different species of birds. We didn't expect too much. But we were really lucky to see number of species. Udawalawe is best place to visit to enjoy the nature .

Udawalawe Safari

Published on Jan, 2020

Had an amazing day visiting Udawalawe National Park today. Our guide picked us up from our Bentota hotel prompt at 05:30 in a very comfortable, air conditioned car. On our 3 hour car journey he pointed out things of interest & we were lucky enough to have time to stop & visit the Transit Camp where, to our delight, we watched the orphaned babies/youngsters receive their 09:00 milk feeds. Some of the little ones broke into a run with excitement - delightful. The safari was brilliant - we saw several elephant family groups. Along with monkeys, water buffalo & many beautiful birds. Lunch followed & our return journey was very comfortable. A day we will always remember.

Great safari with professional guide

Published on Jan, 2020

We had a great safari with Lahiru and his driver. They used different paths to spot the animals while allowing us to enjoy the safari without getting disturb by other jeeps. Saw elephants very close up, lots of birds, deers, buffalos, monkeys, crocodiles. We saw almost every animal we expected to see except leopards. Everything about the safari was professional and enjoyble. I would highly recommend this company for safari.

We love it

Published on Jan, 2020

We really enjoyed 3 hours safari visit to udawalawe park. The driver was excellent and spotted so much wild life to show us and lots of interesting information. He helped us to take great photos and took lot of time to explain about animals. We saw many elephants, water buffaloes, crocodile, deers, jackal and birds. Morning is the best time to spot animals. This is our first safari and we really enjoyed it.
