Vollständige Beschreibung
Udawalawe liegt zweieinhalb Stunden landeinwaerts vom Streifen Galle bis Mirissa, und es ist der Park, den man von der Kueste aus nehmen sollte, wenn man tatsaechlich Tiere sehen will, statt es zu hoffen.
Der Grund ist das Gelaende. Udawalawe wurde 1972 um einen neuen Stausee angelegt, und das ueberflutete Ackerland wurde zu offenem Grasland. Es gibt nirgends einen Unterschlupf fuer einen Elefanten, weshalb die rund sechshundert ansaessigen Tiere hier ueblicherweise innerhalb von zwanzig Minuten nach dem Tor sichtbar sind, und warum Sichtungen fast sicher statt gluecklich sind. Yala, drei Stunden weiter, hat die Leoparden und die Menschenmengen; Udawalawe hat die Elefanten und den Platz.
Wasserbueffel, Axishirsche, Goldschakale und Sumpfkrokodile am Rand des Stausees runden die Fahrt ab, und die Vogelbeobachtung ist wirklich gut, Haubenschlangenadler, Wandelhabichtsadler, Nimmersatt-Stoerche, und ein starker Wintereinfall.
Ein privater Jeep ist das, was dies von der geteilten Version unterscheidet. Der Spurenleser arbeitet besser, wenn das Fahrzeug keinem Zeitplan folgt, und Sie koennen so lange an einem Wasserloch bleiben, wie die Tiere dort sind, statt weiterzuziehen, weil neun andere Leute bereit sind.
Sri Lankas Nationalparks werden von einem offenen Jeep aus erlebt, und jeder hat etwas, wofuer er am besten ist. Yala, im Suedosten, hat die hoechste Leopardendichte ueberhaupt, meist fruh morgens auf den Felsen und Strassen von Block 1 gesehen; er ist einen Teil von September und Oktober jedes Jahr geschlossen. Udawalawe sind die Elefanten, verlaesslich, auf offenem Grasland um einen Stausee, mit dem Elephant Transit Home fuer Waisen in der Naehe. Minneriya und Kaudulla, nahe Sigiriya, beherbergen von etwa Juli bis Oktober das Gathering, wenn mehrere hundert Elefanten am spaeten Nachmittag zu den schrumpfenden Reservoirs kommen. Wilpattu, im Nordwesten, ist der groesste und ruhigste Park, mit Leoparden, Lippenbaeren und Villus, den natuerlichen Seen. Safaris finden um 6:00 und 14:30 Uhr statt, dauern drei bis vier Stunden, und das Parkticket wird zusaetzlich zum Jeep am Tor bezahlt.

Great trip to Udawalawa. Long journey from Galle and weaving mopeds and tuc tucs safely and skilfully negotiated by our driver. Our guide Batu was excellent , very knowledgeable and eagle eyed , spotting birds monkeys and lizards we would have missed. Lots of close encounters with elephants and we saw buffalo, mongoose, crocodiles, wild pigs, monkeys and loads of birds. A great trip and highly recommended!
We had an amazing trip to the National Park! Both our driver and jeep driver at the park were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone! Especially if you want to see elephants!
Excellent tour to the safari park. We saw lots of elephants which was the highlight, and crocodiles, buffalo, deer, monkeys, peacocks, jungle fowl, eagles and lots of other birds. Our guide was great and really good at spotting things that we would have missed.
We had a great tour and can definitely recommend it! Our guide made a big effort and was able to show us many animals that we probably would have never spotted on our own. We also had a lot of fun the whole time. A really wonderful experience!
Navee was very knowledgeable and great at spotting wildlife - I was really happy to have him as our guide. We were incredibly lucky and saw so many elephants, and one even walked right next to the jeep! In the national park we managed to see all the animals except leopards. It was a long day and the transport pick-up wasn’t the nicest, but it was still an incredible experience. Being so close to the elephants was truly mesmerising - I love them so much. We also asked to stop at the Elephant Transit Home before heading back to watch them feeding. They were so funny, and this felt like a much more ethical way to see elephants compared to some other tours. I highly recommend this tour and experience.
An amazing experience in Sri Lanka! The highlight was seeing many elephants up close, including families with small baby elephants- truly unforgettable. Our guide was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, which made the safari even more enjoyable. The comfortable safari jeeps offered great visibility and made it easy to take beautiful photos. A must-do experience for anyone visiting Sri Lanka and a paradise for elephant lovers!
We seen a lot of animals and we had a great time with our guide. The transport was efficient, always on time. I really recomend this trip. It was even better than Yala Block 5&6 Safarii which we took 2 days later.
The day out was amazing. The driver at the safari was knowledgeable and told us lots about the animals we saw. We were able to see water buffalo’s, loads of elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, eagles, peacocks and chameleons. He was able to spot animals that we would definitely have missed if he hadn’t pointed them out. The driver who took us there and back from Mirissa was efficient and friendly.
We had amazing views of the elephants after a very easy pick up! We would definitely recommend to anyone as the wildlife is all incredible
We had an amazing safari! The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us lots of animals including many elephants. He had binoculars with him & helped us take cool photos.
