Elephant safari at Udawalawe (from Ella). - This was a really well organised and professional trip. Our driver collected us from our accommodation and drove with care to Udawalawe National Park where we transferred to a jeep. Note that there is additional fees for park entry. I was super hopeful to see elephants, but what we saw far exceeded my expectations. There were lots of elephants and many, many baby elephants too. The experience took us up close. We also saw water buffalo, monkey, deer, a croc, many tropical birds and a displaying peacock! I would really recommend this trip and organiser.

Amazing trip - We booked this trip less than 24 hours before we went. Everything was organised very quickly and smoothly. It was also the cheapest trip I had seen from Ella to Udawalawe. Our driver was lovely and the safari drive was incredible. We saw lots of elephants and wildlife. Would highly recommend.

Amazing experience - I was fortunate to see wild elephants so close I could have touched them. The park is well laid out and the jeeps very modern. Our guide Subash was well briefed and showed us so many different animals and birds which was great.
