Udawalawa National Park Safari

A guided jeep safari will take you deep into the park’s heart, ensuring you don’t miss its incredible biodiversity.

Visit to the Elephant Transit Home

Watch these adorable elephants during feeding time as they gather at the feeding area, offering a heartwarming glimpse into the conservation efforts in Sri Lanka.

Return to Colombo

After an enriching day filled with wildlife encounters and unforgettable memories, the journey concludes with a comfortable drive back to Colombo, arriving by evening.
