 ​Udawalawe  National Park Safari Tours...  Leopards, elephants, birdlife in abundance – Sri Lanka is a wildlife lover's paradise and is one of the best places in Asia for seeing wildlife. Udawalawe national park is in our opinion the best safari in Sri Lanka because it provides a truly gratifying experience. You can get very close to animals, particularly the elephants, and you're never really bothered by other jeeps and tourists. Whilst your chances of spotting leopards at Udawalawe are less likely than at Yala, there is nonetheless a healthy leopard population in Udawalawe that sightings do happen. You're also guaranteed to spot Sri Lankan elephants as well as red spotted deers, wild water buffalo, sloth bears, crocodiles, monkeys and many different species of birds. Best afternoons to join this tours is on both Monday and Friday afternoons, as we do not have yoga classes scheduled those afternoons. Other times can also be pre booked where possible. This activity is an optional extra and not included in the package price but you should definitely make time to to visit Udawalawe. 

  

Of course you can also book extras such as extra days, surf lessons, body treatments, massages and airport transfers  in addition to this package.
