Udawalawe National Park lies on the boundary of Sabaragamuwa and Uva Provinces, in Sri Lanka. The national park was created to provide a sanctuary for wild animals displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River, as well as to protect the catchment of the reservoir. The reserve covers 30,821 hectares. Udawalawe is an important habitat for Sri Lankan elephants, which are relatively hard to see in its open habitats. Many elephants are attracted to the park because of the Udawalawe reservoir, with a herd of about 250 believed to be permanently resident.

Excellent trip, easy to organise and a personal experience. We saw a lot of different animals and they clearly knew where the best places to see them. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks a lot!

As part of our holiday in Sri Lanka this year we visited the reserve at Udawalawe. Our driver collected us punctually from our hotel at 5:30am, and we had a brilliant morning on our jeep safari. He made sure that we met up with families of elephants, pointed out a huge variety of spectacular birds, perching in the trees and wading in the lakes. We saw basking crocodiles and water buffaloes the turquoise flashes of king fishers and green bee eaters . We were extremely well satisfied with our experience,

Our driver also acted as guide and combined both roles brilliantly. Through his experiences eyes, logs became crocodiles, while herds of buffalo and families of elephants plus solitary males were approached almost within touching distance. Add in the monkeys, exotic birds, tortoises, etc and the 3 hours spent on safari flew by. Highly recommended.

We booked a private half day morning safari and were paired with Mr. Dhammika the day before the actual safari. He offered to guide us himself so we didn’t hire an additional guide on arrival. It turned out to be an amazing time. He was very knowledgeable about literally every animal we saw, an expert at picking out animals we would never have found, and made sure we were first in line to get the best experience within the safari grounds. We saw many elephants up close, as well as many birds, peacocks, and water buffalo. We would request him again if we ever came back!! The safari grounds themselves are not crowded, and the animals are treated with respect, not purposefully wound up for the sake of entertainment. You won’t be disappointed with this safari experience and I would personally request Dhammika if you can! Thank you for a great experience!
