The national park is very beautiful but unfortunately we walked around for 4 hours and there were no other animals except a few elephants. Unfortunately, the price is a bit high in terms of performance because you will encounter elephants on your Sri Lanka trip without visiting here.

Thank you Naveen for showing us Udawalawe National Park, for not blindly following the rest of the trucks, for spotting tons of animals, for all your interesting facts about the animals - in short, thank you for a perfect safari!

We had an amazing time! Our driver Navee told us many facts about elephants and the other animals. We were very lucky, to spot a herd of elephants with two little babies right at the beginning - before all the other vehicles arrived. He has a great eye to spot the animals on the trees and the surroundings. We enjoyed our time a lot and definitely reccommend the tour! However if you want to save a little bit of money we reccommend buying the entry ticket yourself :)
