Udawalawe National Park
Spreading over 30,000 hectares in Sri Lanka’s southern plains, Udawalawe National Park is built around the glistening Udawalawe Reservoir — a vital water source that attracts large herds of elephants all year long. Its wide grasslands, scattered scrub forests, and misty mountain backdrops form a naturally dramatic and highly photogenic wilderness. Alongside elephants, visitors can encounter buffalo, deer, crocodiles, and a rich diversity of birdlife that flourishes in this thriving dry-zone habitat. Unlike many wildlife reserves that close seasonally or limit access, Udawalawe stays open and lively year-round, guaranteeing steady wildlife activity and one of Sri Lanka’s most dependable and memorable safari experiences.
