Located in the southern part of Sri Lanka, Udawalawe National Park is a wildlife paradise renowned for its large herds of elephants and diverse ecosystem. Spanning over 30,000 hectares, the park was established in 1972 to provide a sanctuary for wildlife displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir. It is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers.
The park is home to an array of wildlife species, including:
With over 500 elephants, Udawalawe is one of the best places in the world to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
A birdwatcher’s paradise, the park hosts species like kingfishers, eagles, and hornbills.
Leopards, water buffalo, sambar deer, crocodiles, and monitor lizards are commonly spotted during safaris.
The heart of the park, this reservoir attracts animals, especially during the dry season, offering excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
Adjacent to the park, this facility cares for orphaned elephants and rehabilitates them for release back into the wild, giving visitors a chance to witness conservation efforts.
The park is accessible year-round, but the dry season (May to September) offers the best wildlife sightings as animals gather around water sources.
Visitors can embark on jeep safaris led by experienced guides to explore the park’s diverse landscapes, which range from grasslands to marshes. Morning and evening safaris are particularly popular for maximizing animal sightings.
With its abundant wildlife, stunning landscapes, and conservation initiatives, Udawalawe National Park offers an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast or seeking a serene getaway, this park provides the perfect escape into nature.
