If you’re looking to experience the raw, untamed heart of Sri Lanka, a safari through Udawalawe National Park is your ticket to a world where elephants truly rule the land. While other parks can feel like a crowded convoy, Udawalawe offers an intimate, open-plains adventure that rivals the great savannas of Africa.

Udawalawe is arguably the best place in Asia to see wild elephants year-round. With a thriving population of over 600 elephants roaming across 30,000 hectares, you aren't just "looking" for elephants—you're living among them.

What a fantastic experience! Our family went on a morning safari and got to see so many animals including water bison, crocodiles, a mongoose, monitor lizard and best of all, two baby elephants. We were so lucky to have Susa as our guide. He was very knowledgeable, informative and seemed to know all the best places...plus he bossed all the drivers. Thank you Susa
Brilliant Safari guide

We had a brilliant safari thanks to our very knowledgeable guide. We saw mongoose, spotted deer, peacocks, wild boar, wild water buffalo, crocodiles, loads of elephants and many beautiful birds. We would’ve missed a lot if our guide hadn’t explained it to us. He was relaxed and friendly and good company. Definitely recommend for your safari.

Susantha the tracker at Udawalawe Park was super great. He knew the best spots to see elephants and even took us to areas where we felt like the first ones there. It honestly felt like a proper nature safari with him. If you are in Udawalawe and needing safari check them out
