Udawalawe National Park, established on 30 June 1972, covers 32,315 hectares, including the Walawa Reservoir, and was created to protect wildlife, particularly elephants, displaced by the Walawe Basin Development Project. The park connects various reserves and spans Ratnapura and Moneragala districts.

Udawalawe National Park contains mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
Animals include: Mammals: Leopards, elephants, sloth bears, wild water buffalo, spotted deer, and primates.Birds: Over 215 species, including six endemic species and numerous migratory waterbirds. Reptiles: Both mugger and freshwater water crocodiles, along with snakes and endangered sea turtles. Amphibians: 18 species, including two endemics. Fish: Various freshwater species in the park’s reservoirs.

its good to bring packing sunscreen, a safari cap, and sunglasses to protect you from the sun, plus sturdy walking shoes and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated. And don’t forget whare relax cloths because it’s dusty and hot.

“tush” is licensed Area Tour Guide which have the authority to guide in Sri Lanka and Himayuru tours, Ella (the service provider) ensure you see most animals and with discussing with jeep on last day safaris we choose block 1 or 2 or 5 entrances for ensure you can see most animals even elephants in any time of the year.

Shared safaris, while often cheaper, come with some drawbacks. You have less flexibility since the schedule and route are fixed for the whole group, meaning you may have to leave a sighting before you’re ready or spend time on things that don’t interest you. Crowding can be an issue, as vehicles may feel cramped and less comfortable.

Shared safaris, with many people, photography becomes harder, since not everyone gets the best view or angles. Noise from conversations or movement can disturb wildlife and reduce the quality of the experience. Finally, health and hygiene may be a concern, as you share space, equipment, and meals with strangers.

Tush is a very friendly and passionate friend. Thanks to the fun and safe travel in Sri Lanka. We had safari tours and cave tours together and it was really good to inform and come alone, but it felt like traveling with friends. Next time I visit Sri Lanka, I want to travel with Tush.
