Wilderness Safari with Susa udawalawe

About this activity

If you’re looking to experience the raw, untamed heart of Sri Lanka, a safari through Udawalawe National Park is your ticket to a world where elephants truly rule the land. While other parks can feel like a crowded convoy, Udawalawe offers an intimate, open-plains adventure that rivals the great savannas of Africa.

Udawalawe is arguably the best place in Asia to see wild elephants year-round. With a thriving population of over 600 elephants roaming across 30,000 hectares, you aren't just "looking" for elephants—you're living among them.
