Overview

Leave the cool highlands of Ella and head toward the warm plains of Udawalawe, where open skies, dry forests, and glimmering lakes shape one of Sri Lanka’s most rewarding wildlife experiences. This is a place where you’ll see elephants up close — not in crowds, but moving freely in their natural habitat — along many other wildlife.

The 4×4 drive led by an experienced wildlife tracker who knows the park by heart. It’s a natural, unhurried experience with the pure wilderness. A freshly prepared homemade breakfast or evening snack is served, adding a personal and local touch.

After the safari, continue seamlessly to the southern coast—reaching Mirissa, Galle, Ahangama, Hiriketiya, or Tangalle in comfort. Choose from shared, private, sunrise or signature safari options—delivering transformative experiences that generates meaningful value for both local communities and the guests.

“Connecting Ella and the South since 2018—a time-efficient transfer built on real value and authenticity.”

Udawalawe National Park
  • 4h
  • Admission ticket not included
Udawalawe National Park spans over 30,000 hectares across Sri Lanka’s southern plains, centered around the shimmering Udawalawe Reservoir — a lifeline that draws hundreds of wild elephants throughout the year. The park’s open grasslands, scrub forests, and distant mountain views create a strikingly beautiful and photogenic landscape. Beyond its famous elephant herds, Udawalawe is home to buffalo, deer, crocodiles, and an impressive variety of birds that thrive in this dry-zone ecosystem. Unlike many national parks around the world that experience seasonal closures or limited sightings, Udawalawe remains vibrant and accessible throughout the year, offering consistent wildlife encounters and one of the most rewarding safari experiences in Sri Lanka.
