The driver Nawi was our guide in the park. He was an excellent driver and he was an expert in all of the animals. He was very good at spotting the animals. We saw elephants, crocodile, monkeys, water buffalos, deers and a lot of birds. We got water and snacks.

An excellent day with Naveen. He was very knowledgable about all the animals in the park including the birds. It was a very busy day in the park and he managed to take us to quiet places where there were no other trucks and we saw so many elephants very very close. It was absolutely amazing. Also the organisation and communication from the company was really good. I changed plans at the last minute and they were impressively accommodating. Would highly recommend this excursions and also this company.

We had an amazing time thank you. Navee did a great job. We saw lots of different animals and he gave us lots of information about them. He provided us with snacks and water and did not rush us. The company also arranged a transfer from Sigriya and dropped us in Unawatuna later that day. Our driver was polite, friendly and stopped when we asked.

The booking process was easy and quick via WA. We were picked up from the cruise port terminal and it took us 1h to get to Udawalawe park. Our Jeep driver Channa was friendly and polite, very knowledgeable of the park areas. We saw plenty of elephants and other wild life species. He was careful and reasonable while driving us without rushing to get a better spot. Very respectful of the wild life! We really enjoyed the safari. Highly recommended.
