Only 10 minutes from our door you can embark on an unforgettable safari adventure in Udawalawe National Park, the only place in Sri Lanka that guarantees elephant sightings.

The park is home to over 400 Asian elephants, mugger crocodiles, water buffalo, mongooses, exotic birds, and even the elusive Sri Lankan leopard.

Visiting the Elephant Transit Home provides insight into one of the country’s most important wildlife conservation efforts. This sanctuary is dedicated to the rehabilitation of orphaned elephants, with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into the wild. You can witness young elephants being fed and cared for by devoted staff.

Enjoy a nature-filled stroll or visit a local temple. The Udawalawe Reservoir promises a fulfilling few hours where you can bask in the sun while witnessing first hand some of Sri Lanka’s incredible wildlife, including elephants, in their natural environment. Alternatively, immerse yourself in breath-taking views and rich Buddhist history at Sankala Temple. Situated on a rocky mountain, you’ll be sure to leave feeling rejuvenated.
