Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Udawalawe National Park, Udawalawe National Park
Framed by soaring highlands on its northern boundary, the Udawalawe National Park is one of the world’s best places to see wild elephants. Largely comprised of grasslands and bush forest, it’s also one of the best national parks in Sri Lanka for game spotting.
Duration: 4 hours
Stop At: Udawalawa Elephant Orphanage, No. 646 C.P.D De Silva Rd, Thanamalvila Rd, Udawalawa, Udawalawa 70190 Sri Lanka
Supported by the Born Free Foundation (www.bornfree.org.uk), this complex is a halfway house for orphaned elephants. After rehabilitation, the elephants are released back into the wild, many into the Uda Walawe National Park. Although you can’t get up close and personal with the elephants, seeing them at feeding time (from a viewing platform) is still a lot of fun. It’s on the main lakeside road, about 5km west of the Uda Walawe National Park entrance.
