Explore Udawalawe: Safari, Elephants & Galle Fort Experience
Discover the wild heart of Sri Lanka with our unforgettable Udawalawe Day Tour, designed for nature lovers and cultural explorers alike. This full-day experience takes you deep into the wilderness of Udawalawe National Park, one of the island’s best places to see elephants in their natural habitat.
Your day begins with a scenic drive through the southern countryside. First, you’ll visit the Elephant Transit Home, a conservation center where you can observe young, orphaned elephants being fed before their release back into the wild.
Next, embark on an exciting Jeep Safari through Udawalawe National Park, known for its large elephant population, along with buffaloes, crocodiles, monkeys, deer, and many species of birds. With open landscapes and a picturesque reservoir, the park offers ideal conditions for wildlife photography and close-up encounters with nature.
After the safari, enjoy a traditional Sri Lankan lunch at a local restaurant before heading back. On the return journey, we stop at the historic Galle Dutch Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you can take a short walk and explore the colonial charm of the old city walls, lighthouse, and ocean views.
This private day tour offers a perfect blend of wildlife, culture, and scenic beauty, ideal for travelers staying in the Galle, Unawatuna, Mirissa, or Hikkaduwa areas.
