Colombo Trip Overview
Udawalawe Trails is the perfectchoice or you. Sit back and relax and allow the team to guide you on the journey of a lifetime you’ll never forget. Eavesdrop on the splashing of the elephants in the nearby lakes and streams, be hypnotized by a leoard’s soft growling, listen to the evocative hoot of an exotically tropical owl, embrace the sights and sounds of nature and you will truly experience a state of natural bliss. Udawalawe is undoubtedly one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see wild Asian Elephants throughout the year. Usually you will have better chance to spot herds of elephants if you choose morning departure.
Besides elephants, sambar deer and wild buffalo (although most buffalo you’ll see in the park are domesticated), there are also mongooses, jackals, water monitor lizards, lots of crocodiles, sloth bears and the occasional leopard.

The park, which centres on the 308.2-sq-km Uda Walawe Reservoir, is lightly vegetated, but it has a stark beauty and the lack of dense vegetation makes game-watching easy.
