About this experience

Starten Sie von Ella aus in einem privaten, klimatisierten Fahrzeug und fahren Sie südlich zum Udawalawe-Nationalpark – ein 28.821 Hektar großes Schutzgebiet, das südlich der Zentralen Highlands liegt und Vergleiche zu den großen Wildparks Afrikas zieht. Ihr englischsprachiger Fahrer kümmert sich um den gesamten Transport während dieser siebenstündigen privaten Tagestour, sodass Sie sich auf das konzentrieren können, was vor Ihnen liegt: Beobachtung von Sri Lankas größten ansässigen Elefantenherden, die sich am Udawalawe-Stausee versammeln. Das Mindestalter für diese Tour beträgt sieben Jahre.

Im Park angekommen, steigen Sie in Ihren eigenen Jeep um und machen eine Safari durch offene Graslandschaften und Buschwald, wo Elefanten, Wasserbüffel, Krokodile und verschiedene Vogelarten die Landschaft teilen. Das Stausee-Szenario, eingerahmt durch die Steilwand der Zentralen Highlands, bietet einen beeindruckenden Hintergrund für jede Sichtung. Hotelabholung und -rückgabe sind inbegriffen; Lebensmittel, Getränke und Trinkgelder nicht, bringen Sie also Verpflegung für die Fahrt mit.

Highly recommended to spot elephants!
Being able to see a lot of elephants up close! Really a very nice safari, less diversity of animals compared to eg Yala, but definitely recommended!
