About this experience

Board your private, air-conditioned vehicle in Colombo and head south to Udawalawe National Park for a guided jeep safari focused on birdwatching. Your guide scans the tree lines and wetlands, pointing out species by call and plumage — from painted storks and crested serpent eagles to lesser adjutants wading at the reservoir's edge. Basic refreshments are included, and hotel pick-up and drop-off are arranged for you. Minimum age is five years old.

The full experience runs nine hours, giving you unhurried time inside the park to observe resident and migratory birds alongside other wildlife that shares this habitat. All transport, safari jeep hire, and birdwatching guidance are covered. Food, personal expenses, and tips are not included, so bring spending money for lunch stops along the route.
