Udawalawe National Park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, particularly those
interested in elephants. Established in 1972, the park is home to one of the
largest populations of Asian elephants in Sri Lanka, making it a prime location
for elephant watching. Visitors can take guided jeep safaris through the park’s
diverse landscapes, which include grasslands, scrub forests, and open plains.
The park also hosts a variety of other wildlife, including leopards, deer, and a
rich assortment of bird species. The Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home
nearby offers a chance to see orphaned elephants being rehabilitated before
their release back into the wild. With its abundant wildlife and natural beauty,
Udawalawe National Park promises an unforgettable safari experience.
