About this experience
Set off from Ella in a private, air-conditioned vehicle and travel south to Udawalawe National Park — a 30,821-hectare sanctuary that sits just below the Central Highlands and draws comparisons to the great game parks of Africa. Your English-speaking driver handles all transport during this seven-hour private day trip, so you can focus on what lies ahead: spotting Sri Lanka's largest resident elephant herds as they gather around the Udawalawe Reservoir. The minimum age for this tour is seven years.
Once inside the park, board your dedicated jeep for a safari through open grasslands and scrub forest where elephants, water buffalo, crocodiles, and a variety of birdlife share the landscape. The reservoir backdrop, framed by the escarpment of the Central Highlands, adds a striking setting to every sighting. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included; food, drinks, and gratuities are not, so bring provisions for the drive.
