On safari in Udawalawe National Park
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Elephant spotting in Udawalawe National Park
Today you’ll head to the Udawalawe National Park. En route, you’ll stop at the Elephant Transit Home where injured and orphaned elephant calves are cared for. Watch as the elephants amble impatiently behind the keepers at feeding time.
Afterwards, you’ll continue to Udawalawe National Park where you’ll take a jeep safari. Besides elephants, the park is home to sambar deer, monkeys, water buffalo and various species of birds. Keep your eyes peeled and your camera at hand. After an exciting afternoon, you’ll leave the park and drive the short distance to a safari camp, where you’ll be spending the night in a unique glamping tent surrounded by nature.
Day 2 – Depart Udawalawe
It’s just a short stay in Udawalawe. Today you will continue your journey through Sri Lanka. If you would like to stay an additional night in the national park to maximise your wildlife spotting chances, then mention this to your travel specialist.
If you’re looking to continue your wildlife experience, then head to Yala National Park or journey into the lush rolling hills of Ella where you can take a small hike up to Little Adam’s Peak or find your inner adrenaline junkie on a ziplining experience.
