Beautiful park and great experience - Beautiful park and a great experience. The tour was wonderful during the morning. We didn't get to see any leopards but it was too warm at thw time we went. The driver was very sharp and spotted small lizards, chameleons, eagles Nd an owl from far. I qould recommend taking a hand held fan as it gets warm when the vehicle stops for pictures.

Safari is the best - I applied for the safari tour individually with Udawalawe Safari Fun. I went alone, so I thought I would be put on a tour somewhere, but I had a completely private trip. I really enjoyed seeing so many animals, including a herd of mother and calf elephants, peacocks, foxes, buffaloes, hummingbirds, kingfishers, etc. The guide also entertained us by asking us animal quizzes to keep us from getting bored.

Great elephant safari - We had a great time on safari with Subhan! He was super knowledgeable about the animals and did his best to find great sights for us. Our favourite moment was when he took us to a group of around 20 elephants who walked right in front of / next to us! We really enjoyed our trip and will book again if we come to Udawalawe again!

Amazing tourguide, wonderful sightings of elephants. - We were so lucky with Subhash! You can tell he is experienced and has a lot of knowledge about the elephants. The best thing about Subhash is that he is very patient. He saw a herd of elephants (with babies!) in the distance and suggested that we waited for them to get closer. We were the only car waiting, and we waited for over 30 minutes. It was SO worth the wait! The herd came close - as Subhash had predicted - and we got the best view of them! Our only regret is that we didn’t book 2 tours that week :). We highly recommend booking with Subhash!

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. TOUR GUIDE WILL NOT SHOW UP! - If I could give ZERO stars I would. First, we woke up at 4:00 to be ready in time for our tour guide to pick us up and THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. We called the TripAdvisor hotline who then contacted the tour guide after us waiting for 1 hour and he said he was sleeping. He had confirmed the tour days prior to and didn’t even offer an apology. After we advised that we wanted to cancel because we waited for almost 2 hours, the tour guide called my phone about 7-8 times repeatedly and sent me several messages asking me to pay for another tour and that he could come get us later. I blocked him and we carried on about our day. ZERO stars and definitely do not recommend!!!
