Viewing Elephants in Udawalawe NP - We had a great experience visiting Udawalawe NP. We saw >25 elephants of different age and gender. In groups and individually. From far away and from very, very close by. For viewing elephants, I would highly recommend it. Furthermore, we also saw many different mammals, birds and reptiles.

Saw over 60 elephants! - We had a very special experience with Udawalawe Safari Jeep Service. We saw over 60 elephants! Our guide was very respectful of the animals and very professional, giving us lots of information about all the animals. We saw many crocodiles and many beautiful birds. Would highly recommend. Many say the best time to go is morning but we set off at around 12pm and had the best experience.

Economic and professional - Great experience, I went on the half-day safari with Navee. He was telling me all along that I was extremely lucky to have seen a lot of elephants up close. Even a little 3-4 days old. I decided to go on safari without Guide and Navee was good at giving information about the animals seen. In the end we did just over 4 hours which was more than enough.

Udawalawe Elephants - We had the best experience yesterday at Udawalawe National Park. Our driver, Vishwa picked us up from our hotel and then took us on a four hour safari. We were fortunate enough to be able to see upwards of fifty elephants, some very close and a range of other animals such as water buffalo, deer, crocofiles, rabbits and all manner of exotic birds. It was a wonderful experience as he spoke in English and was able to talk about the animals knowledgeably and he knew exactly where to go for the best viewing opportunities. We will definitely be recommending this service.

Dream safari experience! - Our guide/driver was beyond friendly, attentive and knowledgeable on our safari! He wanted to know what we were interested (and not) in to make sure we got to see what we wanted rather than driving around. His patience lead us to a lucky up close view of an elephant family! He was able to answer any questions we had regarding elephants and other animals on the safari. The breakfast he provided was also lovely and thoughtful. Thanks to his skills I got my wish of seeing elephants within touching distance (but please don’t! They’re wild!). I would so recommend him and can’t wait to return to Sri Lanka.

Incredible Safari Experience, thank you Vishma! - My friend and I enjoyed a beautiful safari this morning, we saw many many elephants, some crocodiles, water buffalo, monkeys, mongoose, different birds and even lizards! Vishma was amazing at spotting and educating us on the different animals, even spotting tiny lizards camouflaged on a tree 15 feet away! We learnt some interesting facts about the animals and also got to enjoy amazing views. Vishma also sorted the taxi for us all the way from Mirissa, in a clean and comfortable car. Would 100% recommend!!
