Udawalawe National Park
Visit Udawalawe National Park for jeep safaris, wild elephants, birds and other wildlife across Sri Lanka’s dry-zone landscapes.
Udawalawe National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s most popular wildlife destinations, particularly known for its large elephant population. Jeep safaris also offer opportunities to see water buffalo, crocodiles, deer and a wide range of bird species.
Udawalawe safari
Safari jeeps enter the park with visitors accompanied by experienced drivers. Early morning and afternoon drives are commonly used to explore the park’s grasslands, forests and reservoirs while looking for wildlife.
Elephant Transit Home
The Elephant Transit Home near the park is another popular stop, focused on rehabilitating orphaned elephants before their eventual release. It can be visited separately from a national park safari.
