We also provide flexible pickup from your hotel in Udawalawe, free bottled water, and help with entrance tickets if needed. Morning and afternoon safaris are available, so you can choose the time that fits your travel plan.

What to expect

Enjoy a private 4-hour safari adventure inside Udawalawe National Park, one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see wild elephants. After meeting your driver, you will travel by an open 4x4 customized jeep through the park.

During the safari, you can watch elephants in their natural habitat, as well as buffalo, crocodiles, monkeys, deer, and many species of birds. Your experienced local driver will take you along different tracks to increase your chances of seeing wildlife, and will stop at safe spots so you can take photos.
