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.

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
