What You Will See During the Udawalawe 7 Hour Safari

Udawalawe National Park is best known for its large population of wild elephants, and during the Udawalawe 7 hour safari, elephants remain our top priority.

In addition to elephants, the longer duration allows us to explore multiple zones of the park, increasing the chance to see:

Wild Asian elephants (often feeding or bathing)
Crocodiles near reservoirs and water channels
Water buffalo
Spotted deer
Wild boar
lizards
A wide variety of birds, including eagles, peacocks, storks, herons, and kingfishers

Because we have more time, we don’t rush. We patiently wait at good locations and move slowly between habitats to maximize sightings.
