Udawalawa Safari

Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Sri Lanka's south-central region lies Udawalawe National Park, a haven for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. This captivating 30,821-hectare reserve is renowned for its majestic Asian elephants, offering a unique opportunity to witness these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

A Haven for Elephants:

Udawalawe is home to the second-largest elephant population in Sri Lanka, with an estimated 600 roaming freely throughout the park. These magnificent creatures are often seen grazing in large herds around the Udawalawe Reservoir, a central feature of the landscape. Observe their social behavior, playful interactions with their young, and witness the deep bond within these family units.

Beyond the Elephants:

While elephants undoubtedly steal the show, Udawalawe National Park offers a diverse array of wildlife encounters. Keep your eyes peeled for spotted deer, sambars, wild boars, and a captivating array of birdlife. The park also boasts sightings of leopards, mongoose, crocodiles, and even the elusive sloth bear.

Exploring the Landscape:

Embark on a thrilling jeep safari and venture deep into the heart of the park. Experienced Traworlux guides will navigate the diverse terrain, sharing their knowledge of the flora and fauna along the way. Spot hidden watering holes where animals gather, and traverse scenic grasslands dotted with ancient trees.

Beyond the Safari:

Your Udawalawe adventure extends beyond the park boundaries. Visit the Elephant Transit Home, a sanctuary dedicated to caring for orphaned and injured elephants before reintroducing them to the wild. Witness these remarkable creatures receive the care and rehabilitation they need to thrive.
