Explore the beauty of Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka with a 6-hour in-depth wildlife safari. Known for its large herds of wild elephants and diverse wildlife, Udawalawe is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see animals in their natural habitat. This private safari is ideal for families, photographers, nature lovers, and solo travellers who want a thorough, immersive wildlife experience beyond what a shorter tour can offer.

Lucky visitors may also spot elusive leopards and wildcats, and the park's diverse birdlife makes this tour a paradise for wildlife photographers.
The 6-hour safari includes park entrance tickets, professional guide service, private jeep transport, light refreshments or breakfast depending on timing, hotel pickup and drop-off within the Udawalawe area, and all applicable government taxes.
