Udawalawe National Park
Description
Udawalawe National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s most famous wildlife reserves, known for its large population of elephants roaming freely in their natural habitat. Covering approximately 30,821 hectares, the park features open grasslands, scrub forests, and the expansive Udawalawe Reservoir, creating an ideal ecosystem for various species. It was established in 1972 to provide a sanctuary for displaced animals due to the construction of the Udawalawe Dam. Today, it is a premier safari destination where visitors can observe not only elephants but also leopards, deer, water buffalo, crocodiles, and a wide range of bird species, including eagles, kingfishers, and herons.
A safari in Udawalawe offers an unforgettable experience, with early morning and late afternoon being the best times for wildlife sightings. Jeep safaris provide a safe and comfortable way to explore the park while expert guides share insights into the animals and their behaviors. The park’s open landscapes make it easier to spot wildlife compared to dense jungle reserves, enhancing the chances of close encounters with elephants. Additionally, the Udawalawe Reservoir adds to the park’s scenic beauty, attracting migratory birds and providing stunning views of the surrounding wilderness. For nature lovers and photographers, Udawalawe National Park is a must-visit destination offering a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.
