★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 641 reviews · 4 - 10 hours · from $30Our pick

Private Udawalawe elephant safari with an expert guide in a 4x4 jeep. See elephant herds, crocodiles, deer, and Sri Lankan birds.

“We had an excellent time with our guide Gimhana. Compared to another safari we did in Wilpattu, our experience was so much more relaxed. We did the four hour safari and Gimhana was excellent at pointing out different animal species, and getting into good positions for photos while being respectful of the animals’ space. We found him very considerate; making sure we were ready to move on from a stop before going etc. We also saw lots and lots of elephants, which all seemed very happy to get close up to the jeep!”
