Ella to Udawalawe safari - The trip to Udawalawa to see the elephants was very beautiful.. Kalum, the driver who brought me from Elle, did an excellent service for me. His driving was very smooth..didn't feel tired at all.
Prabhat, my safari driver is very good. He went with me to look for animals. He didn't forget to show and explain the animals to me..very good..I really regret missing out on other experiences with them..thanks all..

Amazing elephant safari - Had an amazing safari and was able to see lots of elephants. A small herd including babies and a tusked male played in a lake, and one adolescent walked right up to us and gave himself a mud bath in front of the car. Also spotted monkeys, lizards, water buffalo, crocodiles and many birds, including peacocks and predator birds. I went with Prabath (English speaking guide) and his brother (driver) and they were great. We had quite a smooth ride despite the challenging roads, thanks to an excellent driver. The guide was kind and friendly and helped me spot several animals I would have missed without him. Amazing trip!
The driver bringing me to and from Ella was excellent. The ride was very smooth and he even had pillows in the car that you could put up against the window for some great sleep/rest during the journey (about two hours).

Udawalawa national park - The safari at Udawalawa Park was really fantastic and we were so happy that we entered the park at dusk. At that time, there were elephant herds, and the driver of the safari we went to took good care of our safety.

Udawalawa national park safari - A few months ago, we visited the Udawalawa National Park. It's a place full of scenery. We went by a cab. We were able to see things we hadn't seen before. It was a new experience for us. We learned information from our guides.

Smooth sequence - It all worked smoothly. We were picked up on time at the hotel and were driven by Ella about 2 hours. At the national park we already had our jeep ready for us.
After claiming we also received our water.
The safari went 3 hours, we saw elephants despite the rain and observed them at the mud bath, which was great.
A guide got on without asking at the beginning, he hoped for a (basically voluntary) tip in the end, but this was also appropriate in our view due to his Help center.
Our driver was already waiting for us after the safari and took us back to the hotel.
All in all, we already found the trip expensive, but it all worked out exactly as described.
