Great Safari - Highly recommend trip for Udawalawe Safari. Everything is included in the price and we got picked up from our hotel with no issues. Lunch was included. We picked the afternoon Safari and were lucky to see lots of elephants close to the Safari jeep. They did not seem bothered by us watching us and gave us a lovely display of throwing mud over themselves. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and spotted the animals very easily. The water buffalo took a bath in the lake with quite a few alligators bathing in the sunshine. Overall a great Safari and highly recommend to book with Bentota Travel Mart which was an easy process and kept keeping us up to date throughout.

A day to remember! - We booked our trip to Udawalawe Safari Park via Sam at Bentota Travel. From the outset his communication about the itinerary and pick up was fantastic. Dinesh was our driver and he was prompt and informative throughout our trip. Sampath took us through the safari park and was great at spotting all the different animals in the park, even down to the tiny chameleons and the parrot hiding in the tree. We saw plenty elephants which was why we booked this trip in the first place. We were surprised at how quickly we did spot them and how close up we got to seeing these magnificent creatures. After a lovely lunch we moved onto seeing the orphaned elephants being fed. We would 100% recommend booking this trip. We went on our wedding anniversary and it is certainly a day we will remember for evermore.

The Trip of a lifetime! - We had a wonderful experience on this trip for our honeymoon last month. Neither me or my wife had been on Safari before and we were blown away at such an amazing experience. Our driver Dinesh was early to greet us and was great throughout our trip, highlighting when we passed areas of note on the journey to the park.
On arrival, we were taken straight away on safari and we were not disappointed. Some fantastic scenes of the amazing elephants and other wildlife in the park. 3 hours flew by. Our driver was fantastic and always tried to get us some incredible up close views but was always careful to not be intrusive to them either.
On our return we were taken to have a nice lunch near the park before being taken to the Elephant Transit Home to see the orphaned elephants feeding which was another wonderful experience before our journey home.
One very tiny negative is just the time it takes to get to the park but it is well worth the journey. Going to one of the parks is a must if your in Sri Lanka for us and we had a wonderful time.

Perfect Service by Sam and his Drivers - I couldn’t be more impressed with Sam and his team at Bentota Travel Mart. I originally called him from the UK prior to departure. He arranged a tour of Udawalawe national park with an overnight stay and saw the orphan Elephants being fed in the morning. We then wanted to go to a tea plantation, a temple, galle, turtle hatchery and the stilt fisherman and a Bentota river trip Sam completely tailor made our itinerary rather than trying to fit it all in a day. We actually did it over 3 at the same price. It was my birthday when we did the river trip and the boat was decorated and a birthday cake organised.
He answers WhatsApp messages almost immediately. We are coming back to Sri Lanka for Christmas and will be using Sam again

All good! - Really nice! Everything was as advertised, we've seen more than a dozen elephants, deer, peacocks, crocodiles and more :) The transport to and from the hotel was very pleasant and i really enjoyed the lunch (especially the papadam). One thing I'd recommend to keep in mind is that the safari is quite long, so do get some rest before it!

Incredible day at Udawalawe - What an amazing day - being as close as you can get to wild elephants, having a riverside lunch below a canopy of monkeys and excellent guides (Pasidu, Dammika & Sampath) and service throughout the day. This was definitely one ticked off the bucket list - thanks team!

Amazing day - Had an amazing time at Udawalawe park for nearly 3.5 hours. Our Safari driver was great. He made sure we got to see all the animals possible including elephants family with a baby very closely.
Great tour overall from pick up to drop off.
Thanks to both drivers and BTM for wonderful service.

Fantastic Safari Experiance - Arranged this in Germany before departing to Sri Lanka. Sam was very easy to deal with. We planned few excursions with BTM and this was first one. It was an amazing day allaround with our driver Ishan who alway took care of us with very careful and skillful drivig. We saw lots of animals including crocodiles, deers, water buffolos, many birds and more than 20 elephants.Transiit home is perfect too

Udawalawe - Wow what an amazing trip and life experience! Everything was outstanding!!
Sam organised our twins 18th birthday trip to Udawalawe and went beyond and above to make their trip unforgettable. Sam communication was great, keeping me informed of everything organised and we could have not asked for a better day !
The fauna and flora in the park it’s extraordinary, photos cannot quite capture what you see and the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful.
We cannot praise enough how wonderful everyone was and that you made our day so so very special! ( P. S. My husband wants me to mention the Toyota truck used for safari , he absolutely loved it and indeed was very comfortable)

Very disappointed - Not the greatest experience, not a lot there, I know you can't expect animals to come out just because you want them to but it was a long trip to see 2deer a couple of elephant and some birds. If you can go to yala instead. The elephant sanctuary is worth the trip
