The Udawalawe National Park is a wildlife reserve covering nearly 120 square miles of land with a number of geological formations. Established on the 30th of June 1972, the park lies on the boundary of the Sabaragamuwa and Uva Provinces of Sri Lanka. As such, it majorly consists of plains, grasslands, forests, and marshes - while being bounded by soaring mountains along the northern border. A major river, the Walawe, and many of its tributaries run pass through the park, providing ample water for the wildlife. The annual rainfall in the Udawalawe National Park is around 1500 millimeters, and the average temperature stays at a comfortable 27° - 28° Centigrade (81°-82°F). The park has over 94 species of plants, 21 species of fish, 12 species of amphibians, over 30 species of reptiles, over 180 species of birds (33 of which are migratory), 43 species of mammals, and 135 species of butterflies.

Asanka was the an amazing driver. Very knowledgeable with 20+ year experience and we were able to see so many animals, way more than we ever expected, from cameleons to bathing buffalo, baby elephant, and many colourful birds. He makes sure to be respectful to the animals while parking in the best spot for us to see the animals. Had the time of our lives!
(J36538U63P2) Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you had an unforgettable safari experience, spotting a wide variety of wildlife and enjoying the best viewing spots. We look forward to welcoming you again soon!
I had a magical adventure on a six hour safari with M.T.A.Kumara (driver) and Harsha (naturalist)! I learned so much from both of them and we saw every bird and animal I had hoped to see. Kumara knew just how to position the jeep so I could get the best photos with no shadows. Harsha is studying Biology at university so he had so much fascinating information about each animal. I could not have asked for a better experience!
We had an amazing safari experience with an excellent guide Asunka! He was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about wildlife, making the whole trip both exciting and educational. We saw so many animals and felt well looked after the entire time. Even took great photos of us as a family! Highly recommend this safari and guide — a truly memorable experience.

We had booked the full day safari and were on the road for 9 hours with our guide Asnka. It was just great, we saw a lot of animals and Asnka knew a lot of interesting facts and details about their way of life. He was super friendly and accommodating and the day was also our most beautiful here in Sri Lanka thanks to him. An absolute recommendation for nature and animal lovers, adventurers and those who simply want to spend 9 hours in a completely different world.

Not many elephants in Sept and August they are up north in Aug and Sept. Better other times of year. Enjoyed our time with two very friendly baby elephants.

The safari was perfect. We saw lots of elephants up close, lots of birds, monkeys, buffalo, and crocodiles. Shameera was very friendly and made it very enjoyable. I recommend it.

The safari was amazing and though at times it felt busy with jeeps it wasn’t uncomfortable. Our guide on safari was Max, and he was super knowledgeable and was such a calm presence. It felt like we were being really respectful of the animals. We mostly had our engine off just admiring everything from elephants to little green bee eaters. I thought there would be a cash line somewhere on the way so I could get a tip for max but had to go away and get one and come back. Be warned! Kani our transfer driver was the ultimate professional from start to finish. We were so happy with the service. He was really lovely and chatty and gave us lots of interesting facts and history on Sri Lanka and the areas he took us to. He also was a very good driver, the journeys were really smooth which allowed us to sleep on the early morning pickups. We would give Kani 5 stars and would count ourselves very lucky if we were ever to have him as our driver again.

We appreciate your kind words about their professionalism and knowledge. Your tip reminder is helpful for future guests! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in Sri Lanka.
Our guide was fantastic, very observant and we were lucky to see crocodiles, elephants :) and lots of birds. On arrival it was very busy and lots of 4x4s crowded together, mostly empty which was sad as we could have shared vehicles and reduced the traffic. However, once we got properly into the park it was much quieter and barely saw anyone else. Lovely picnic spot by the river and the baby elephant made me happy
Great experience a lot of elephant families! Lahiru helped us also to arrang the cheaper and good transportation to the Safari Park and found lot of elephants and other animals too. The safari trip took 4 hours so we had enough time to admire the animals. No rush. You can observe animals as long as you want. Thank you Lahiru Prasad for the the great memories you gave us.
