After an early pick-up from your hotel in Yala, you’ll travel through rural landscapes to reach Udawalawe National Park. Thanks to the short distance, you’ll spend more time on safari and less on the road.

Climb aboard your private 4x4 jeep and venture deep into the park with a tracker who knows where the wildlife roam. From large elephant herds to water buffalo, crocodiles, jackals, and abundant bird species, every safari in Udawalawe reveals a new perspective of Sri Lanka’s wild heritage.
