We booked this tour from Tangalle, the pick up and drop off from our hotel was great and the 3 hour tour around Udawalawe park was incredible. We saw families of elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and eagles. Our guide was very knowledgable and got us close to the animals without bothering them. The baby elephants were a real highlight
