Set out on a thrilling wildlife adventure through the open grasslands and shimmering reservoirs of Udawalawe National Park, home to herds of majestic elephants and a variety of exotic wildlife. Ideal for nature lovers and photographers, this experience promises up-close encounters with Sri Lanka’s untamed side.
Embark on a guided 4×4 safari across open plains and along the Udawalawe Reservoir. The park is one of the best places in the world to see wild elephants in their natural habitat, often just a few meters away.
Observe herds of elephants grazing or bathing, alongside water buffalo, spotted deer, crocodiles, and occasionally leopards. The park is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 200 species recorded.
Take in the panoramic views of the Udawalawe Reservoir and its mirrored waters reflecting the surrounding hills. The combination of open savannah and marshland provides incredible photographic opportunities.
Visit the nearby Elephant Transit Home, where orphaned baby elephants are cared for before being released back into the wild. Witness their feeding time and learn about Sri Lanka’s conservation efforts.
Enjoy a short break with refreshments while soaking in the tranquil wilderness atmosphere, surrounded by the calls of birds and rustle of grasslands.
