We had an absolutely incredible experience on this safari, and we couldn’t be more satisfied. From the moment we were picked up until the end of the tour, everything was perfectly organized, professional, and full of unforgettable moments. Our guide was fantastic, not only did he know so much about the animals and the area, but he was also super friendly and fun to be around. We saw tons of elephants, including babies, and it was just incredible to watch them so close in their natural habitat, we also saw more animals as bufaloos and cocodrile. Amazing experience!

EXCELLENT Based on 3 reviews Clément S2025-08-06Verified A breath taking safari experience Our driver’s name was Naveen and I don’t think he could have done any better as a safari guide. He engaged in conversation and explained everything whenever we saw animals. As far as the park goes, you can see lots of different wildlife and what nature has to offer. The ride was smooth and water and snacks were provided. This was a great experience and we cant wait to do it again in the future. Fiona R2025-07-21Verified Udawalawe safari experience We had an unforgettable full-day safari experience with this company, guided by our friendly and knowledgeable driver, Although we visited during the off-season in May, Naveen knew exactly where to take us to get the best sightings. He made the tour feel very personal, asking what animals we were most interested in and planning accordingly. His knowledge about the wildlife and the park made the whole experience even more interesting.We were fortunate to see many animals, including herds of elephants with babies, crocodiles, monkeys, birds, lizards, and even a mongoose! It truly exceeded our expectations.Special thanks to Naveen for making the day so enjoyable—highly recommend him for anyone planning a safari in Udawalawe Christina R2025-04-06Verified Best safari in Udawalawe National Park Absolutely wonderful safari tour. The guys were great and we managed to spot many animals. The tour guide and driver were the same person so we were able to see the animals on our own as much as we wanted and he gave us an amazing insight into the animals and he was so knowledgeable about the entire park. Overall it was incredible and the best company to take you on safari.♥️😍
