Udawalawe National Park: Sri Lanka’s Elephant Safari & Wildlife Haven

Udawalawe National Park, located in southern Sri Lanka, is one of the island’s premier safari destinations. Covering over 30,000 hectares, the park is renowned for its large population of wild Asian elephants, often seen in herds near the Udawalawe Reservoir.

Beyond elephants, the park is home to leopards, water buffalo, spotted deer, jackals, and over 180 bird species, making it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Safari tours typically last 3–4 hours, offering close encounters with animals in their natural habitat.

With its open grasslands, wetlands, and scenic reservoir, Udawalawe provides a unique safari experience comparable to African game parks, but with a distinct Sri Lankan charm.

A must‑visit wildlife sanctuary for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
