About this experience

Steigen Sie in einen 4x4-Safari-Jeep und fahren Sie in den Udawalawe National Park, eines der premier Wildreservate Sri Lankas, das 180 Kilometer von Colombo in den südwestlichen Hochlagen entfernt liegt. Über drei Stunden führt Sie Ihr erfahrener Fahrer-Tracker über offene Ebenen und Grasflächen auf der Suche nach den berühmten Elefantenherden des Parks — Udawalawe gilt weithin als der beste Ort in Sri Lanka, um diese Giganten in freier Wildbahn zu beobachten. Halten Sie Ausschau nach den Ufern des Stausees und dem Buschland, wo auch Krokodile, Wasserbüffel, Fleckenrehe und gelegentlich Leoparden umherstreifen.

Bringen Sie Ihre Ferngläser mit: Der Park beherbergt eine reichhaltige Mischung aus endemischen und Zugvögeln, und sein offenes Gelände eignet sich hervorragend für Beobachtungen. Schmetterlingsliebhaber finden ebenfalls viel zum Verweilen. Ihr Jeep fasst maximal sechs Passagiere und bietet damit ein wirklich privates Erlebnis. Kostenlose Abholung und Rückbringung ist für jeden Ort innerhalb von 5 km vom Parkeingang enthalten, ebenso wie eine Wasserflasche pro Person. Die Parkeintrittgebühren werden separat bei Ankunft in bar bezahlt.
