Udawalawa

Travel Guide

Sri Lanka
Another great place to see elephants in Sri Lanka
The safari through Udawalawa National Park gets you close to lots of animals. Most exciting? All the elephants!
#LifeAtExpedia
Overall a good place for a small safari type trip. Lots of elephants roam free and from what we were told it is a lot less crowded and touristy than Yala. The ticketing and entrance system is massively chaotic however with drivers leaving jeeps unattended and there’s a sense of no one knowing what is happening. Inside the park we were alone for fair bit of the time, except in certain ‘hotspots’ where a group of vehicles gathered to see elephants, crocodiles or water buffalo. Lots of animals to see.
