This half-day jeep safari will give you the chance of visiting Udawalawe National Park from hotels in Ella or Bandarawela, which is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see wild elephants. An Asian elephant herd, no less than 250, is permanently residing at Udawalawe national park. The park is capable of sustaining large numbers of elephants because of its abundant water sources. Hundreds of elephants annually migrate to the park from nearby protected areas as well. Udawalawe national park was created for elephants displaced by the construction of the adjoining Udawalawe reservoir. Furthermore, Udawalawe is an important bird area with a wide range such as aquatic, birds of prey, and land birds in abundance.

5.00We always wanted and interested on visiting udawalawe national park from years now. Wild elephants were the highlight of the tour. Driver who picked us from Ella was very good, he drove very safely to the park. Even though the safari was for 3 hours, we saw everything we wanted to see. Jeep driver kasun tried his best to catch the best places to see the creatures where he is very good at. Very well organized tour. We are happy

5.00We booked a half day safari in Udawalawe National Park couple of days back before we heading to Galle from Ella. It was for me and 4 of my friends and was a fantastic experience. We saw many elephants, peacocks and crocodiles yes we were very lucky! Our jeep safari driver was really good and well desciplined. He took us safely and patiently waited for us till we get some nice captures of those incredible elephants. A memorable experience and highly recommended!
