Morning / Afternoon Safari Tour
Vollständige Beschreibung
Udawalawe liegt direkt an der Strasse von Ella zur Suedkueste, weshalb es als Tagesausflug von einem der beiden Enden keinen Sinn ergibt und es am Transfertag zu machen sehr sinnvoll ist.
Der Park ist der verlaessliche. Rund sechshundert ansaessige Elefanten auf offenem Grasland um einen Stausee, kein Wald, in dem sie sich verstecken koennen, und ein Bruchteil der Jeeps, die Yala trägt. Sichtungen sind fast sicher und die Tiere sind ueblicherweise nah. Was Sie hier nicht sehen werden, ist ein Leopard, sie existieren und werden fast nie gesichtet, also wenn Leoparden der Punkt sind, nehmen Sie stattdessen die Yala-Version und akzeptieren Sie die Menschenmengen, die damit kommen.
Das Elephant Transit Home an der Parkgrenze ist die andere Haelfte. Es rehabilitiert verwaiste Kaelber und entlaesst sie zurueck in die Wildnis statt sie zu behalten, was die wichtige Unterscheidung zu einem Waisenhaus ist. Fuetterungssitzungen finden mehrmals taeglich statt und werden von einer Plattform aus mit Abstand beobachtet, kein Reiten, kein Baden, kein Kontakt.
Nach der Fahrt sind es etwa zwei Stunden bis zur Kueste, mit Ankunft am spaeten Nachmittag und dem Strandtag noch intakt.
Ella ist ein Dorf auf 1.040 Metern in den Bergen des Sueden, erreichbar mit dem Zug aus Kandy, den die meisten fuer die schoenste Bahnfahrt Asiens halten, und seine Sehenswuerdigkeiten liegen alle nur wenige Kilometer entfernt: die Neun-Bogen-Bruecke, ein Backsteinviadukt von 1921 in einer Teeschlucht, das mehrmals taeglich von einem Zug ueberquert wird; der Little Adam’s Peak, ein 40-minuetiger Spaziergang durch Teefelder zu einem Kamm; Ella Rock, ein anspruchsvollerer dreistuendiger Aufstieg; und die Ravana-Wasserfaelle an der Strasse nach Wellawaya. Die Morgen sind klar, und an Nachmittagen der feuchten Monate zieht Wolken in den Pass, deshalb finden Wanderungen frueh statt. Tuk-Tuks sind das Verkehrsmittel, und jede Pension kann eines besorgen.

Baeus, our tour guide, was so informative, very professional and took great care of us! The transport pick up was reliable and on time, we had an incredible safari experience. There was a que to get into the national park but once we were inside, Baeus took us away from the crowds and other jeeps where we got so up close to the elephants. Brillant experience! Would definitely recommend :)) thanks Baeus
We had an amazing safari experience. We were picked up from our accommodation in Ella at the scheduled time and reached the national park at sunrise, around 6 a.m. We were lucky to see many elephants up close, as well as peacocks, various birds, and buffalo. After the safari, we also visited a place where we could watch the feeding of baby elephants, which was a lovely experience. Later, we were picked up again and comfortably transferred to our accommodation in Mirissa, in the south of the island. Everything was well organized and smooth from start to finish. We highly recommend this safari!
The driver picked us up right from our hostel at 4.00 so that was wonderful. It took 2 hours to get to the safari and the driver Sugula drove very carefully and coutiously. He then dropped us off in Tangalle right at our hostel which was amazing. Maybe 60€ per person is too much but it was convenient
The driver was punctual for pick up and there was good communication before hand from the booking team. The addition of a safari on a long transfer broke the journey nicely. All in all a good day
Safari was excellent, we saw Elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, wild boar, kingfishers etc. Our guide was very knowledgeable and great at spotting all the animals. The transfer was also very smooth and on time. Would recommend!
Great trip. Our driver for the day picked up from our hotel in Ella and took us to Udawalawa national park where we met our private safari guide who took us on a 3-4 hour safari. We saw several families of elephants, getting quite close for photos. We also saw other wildlife including eagles and other birds. It was a great safari experience in a traditional safari jeep. Our driver then took us on to Mirissa dropping us off at our next hotel. Thanks for a great day
The Safari was amazing, and my guide was incredible, spotting many animals, including elephants and jackals, tortoise, deer, lizards, crocodiles and plenty of birds, plus many more. I would have missed many animals without our guide; he spoke good English. My driver was kind but didn't speak any English, which made the long journey a little quiet. He also asked me for petrol money, which I refused. The tour was £71, which I think was too expensive, but overall the experience was good and I enjoyed the Safari.
We enjoyed our time on the safari. We were hoping to see some more animals on our morning safari however we still got to see a large variety.
It was great, the staff was very accommodating
