Our Udawalawe 6-Hour Private Safari is designed to give travelers a true wildlife experience — not a rushed park visit. You’ll explore peaceful areas where large herds of elephants gather, away from the usual crowds.

Unlike shared tours, your safari is completely private, meaning you decide how long to stay at each sighting. Our local drivers know the park’s routes, animal habits, and best times for photos — they’ll guide you to perfect viewing spots safely and smoothly.

We handle everything — from park tickets to pickup and refreshments — so you can relax and enjoy nature. With flexible start times, comfortable jeeps, and genuine hospitality, this safari lets you see Udawalawe at its best.
