Day at Udawalawe - MIN 2 PAX - OPTIONAL - ALL OFFERS
Udawalawe lies south of the central hills of the island, and it surrounds the man-made reservoir of Udawalawe, which is part of the park. It is a mixture of the abandoned teak plantation, scrub jungle and grassland. The dry season is best to watch many herds of elephants that roam the park; which is usually between May and September. Almost the entire park is covered with tall, reedy Pohon grass, which grows all year round. Udawalawe is a superb place to watch elephants as an estimated 450 elephants live here!
