Udawalawe National Park Safari

Udawalawe National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s most popular wildlife destinations. Its open grasslands, forest areas and reservoir create excellent opportunities to observe wildlife from a safari jeep.

Wild elephants are the main attraction, often seen moving through the landscape in family groups. A safari may also offer sightings of water buffalo, spotted deer, sambar deer, wild boar, monkeys, crocodiles and many species of birds.

Every safari is different. Wildlife sightings depend on weather, time of day and the animals’ natural movements, which makes each visit a genuine adventure.

For a more comfortable experience, Sanju Tours can help arrange a private Udawalawe safari as part of a tailor-made Sri Lanka holiday. We can also organise transport from Colombo, Negombo, Galle, Ella, Mirissa, Yala or other travel destinations in Sri Lanka.

Visit the Elephant Transit Home in Udawalawe

A visit to the Elephant Transit Home makes an Udawalawe trip especially meaningful. The centre cares for orphaned elephant calves and supports their rehabilitation, with the goal of returning suitable elephants to the wild.

Visitors observe the young elephants from a designated viewing area during public feeding sessions. This is not an elephant-riding attraction or animal performance. It is a chance to see a real conservation effort while respecting the elephants’ space and natural behaviour.

The Elephant Transit Home is maintained by Sri Lanka’s Department of Wildlife Conservation and has played an important role in caring for orphaned elephant calves since 1995.

Please check the current opening times and visitor arrangements locally before travelling, as schedules and entrance conditions can change.
