Descripción completa
Udawalawe se encuentra directamente en la carretera de Ella a la costa sur, por lo que hacerlo como excursion desde cualquiera de los dos extremos no tiene sentido y hacerlo el dia del traslado tiene mucho.
El parque es el fiable. Unos seiscientos elefantes residentes en pastizal abierto alrededor de un embalse, sin bosque donde esconderse, y una fraccion de los jeeps que tiene Yala. Los avistamientos son casi seguros y los animales suelen estar cerca. Lo que no vera aqui es un leopardo, existen y casi nunca se ven, asi que si los leopardos son lo que busca, tome la version de Yala en su lugar y acepte las multitudes que la acompañan.
El Elephant Transit Home en el limite del parque es la otra mitad. Rehabilita terneros huerfanos y los libera de vuelta a la naturaleza en lugar de retenerlos, que es la distincion importante con un orfanato. Las sesiones de alimentacion ocurren varias veces al dia y se observan desde una plataforma a distancia, sin montar, sin bañarse, sin contacto.
Tras el trayecto quedan unas dos horas hasta la costa, llegando a media tarde con el dia de playa intacto.
Ella es un pueblo a 1.040 metros en las montañas del sur, al que se llega en el tren desde Kandy que la mayoria considera el trayecto ferroviario mas bonito de Asia, y sus lugares de interes estan todos a pocos kilometros: el puente de los nueve arcos, un viaducto de ladrillo de 1921 en un desfiladero de te, que un tren cruza varias veces al dia; el Little Adam’s Peak, una caminata de 40 minutos entre te hasta una cresta; Ella Rock, una subida mas exigente de tres horas; y las cascadas de Ravana en la carretera hacia Wellawaya. Las mañanas son claras y las tardes de los meses humedos traen nubes al paso, por eso las caminatas se hacen temprano. Los tuk-tuks son el transporte, y cualquier alojamiento puede conseguir uno.

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
