Our guide Thushara picked us up in an air-conditioned taxi and drove us to the national park. At the national park we changed to a jeep. Thushara accompanied us and told us many interesting things about the animals and the park. We could observe elephants several times. There were also buffaloes, monkeys, crocodiles, birds, monkeys, deer, varans and many other animals. Also the nature of the park was beautiful. After the park we had lunch at a nearby restaurant. All in all we had a great day and a private tour for two.
When you arrive it is important to fill the jeep and does not want to leave alone since it costs about 22000 Rupees for 3 people if you share the jeep it is half as much We ran into a lot of half-empty Jeep in the reserve so there's nothing to worry about waiting a few minutes and leaving with someone else and seeing a dozen elephants and some sincerely expensive buffalo paid for the place is quiet however the lush vegetation 2h from Safari it is largely enough

Udawalawe national park was so much more then we would’ve expected. We saw many elephants up close, jungle cats, crocodiles, golden jackal, buffalows in mud, monkeys and much more. Our safari guide had an intuition to locate animals. We were with two small children and our guide did everything to make them happy. Thank you very much for the awesome time.

We went on a safari at Udawalawe national park with few of my friends. I booked it with Overa tours as a recommendation of my brother. We were luck to see more than 30 elephants there. Also we spotted baby elephants too. Our jeep driver took us near to them and it was so exciting... Also we saw many bird species like peacocks plus water buffaloes, crocodiles, deers so and so. If you wanna see elephants, don't miss Udawalawe 🐘 Excellent service. Highly recommended!!!!

Udawalawe safari is one of the finest national parks to see elephants and wildlife in sri lanka. Arrive at 0900 to park and spent amazing 4 hours safari with our guide. Our guide was very informative and helpful to spot some wildlife and many elephants. Plus point of this safari is all the animals are wild animals including elephants. They were not chained and they live freely. Deers water buffalo and birds lizards were highlights of the safari. I advise you all the start early to spot some magnificent creatures.
