Highlights
-
Udawalawe National Park - This short but unforgettable safari will take you to some of the best haunts of wildlife within the Udawalawe National Park. With the support of your safari guide you will be able to catch sight of a number of flora and fauna native to Sri Lanka. The safari is designed to give you an understanding of animals in the wild, and will bring you many steps closer to raw nature.
You will be travelling in the rough terrain open Safari Jeep for the most part. But there may be points where your guide may suggest getting off and walking closer for a clear view of birds and other small wildlife. However, the safari takes serious consideration of your safety and therefore, with regards to the wild elephants and other larger wildlife, it is strongly advised that you do not descend from your jeep for safety purposes (especially when coming upon lone elephants, which may get aggressive when disturbed).

Worth a visit - Really enjoyed our trip into Udawalawe National Park. We did a morning safari, (6am 10th March 2024). The driver was prompt and professionally friendly. The vehicle is in excellent condition. A very comfortable drive. Had a great few hours in the park observing assorted wildlife - notably elephants, but buffalo, jackals, monkeys, crocodiles. A traffic jam around the significant elephant sighting and a somewhat busy park but not as crazy as Yala.

Udalawale elephant safari- 3 hours - We had a great trip at udalawale national park and were fortunate to have Chamara as our tour guide. He is very knowledgable able to spot even the tiniest birds camouflaged in the shrubs and is highly recommended. The trip lasted for 3 hours, 3-6pm and we show buffaloes, crocodiles, elephants and birds.

Great experience, would recommend - I had a great experience doing the 3hours safari. Chamara (who was the driver and guide) was lovely and so good at spotting animals. He also always took the time to give lots of explanation about the park and the animals.

To avoid - Having seen other national parks during my previous trips, this one does not deserve the publicity on the internet. More than 3 hours of visit and 5 elephants seen. Other parks are more authentic, notably near Sigiryia.
