Udawalawe National Park
Protected Jeep Safari to Rare and Unique Locations: The safest way to observe wildlife is with a protected Jeep Safari in a convoy. Udawalawe National Park Day Tour offers a unique experience compared to Yala or Wilpattu National Parks. Explore over 34 endemic bird species out of approximately 520 birds in the country. Around 480 species migrate and winter in the southern estuaries, coming from Australasia, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Asia, and Africa. Sri Lanka boasts over 126 mammal species, making it a diverse biogeographic laboratory. About 20% of these, over 22 species, are endemic to the country. The island’s reptilian diversity surpasses that of other vertebrates, with 181 species. The Southern and Eastern Sinharaja forest hosts 36 reptile species, 19 of which are endemic. The amphibian fauna includes 120 species, with 107 (90%) being endemic. The Udawalawe National Park Day Tour provides an excellent opportunity to experience this rich diversity.
The park is home to many elephant herds. An Elephant Transit Home here cares for orphaned elephants, feeding them and helping them survive. Spotting wild leopards is more likely in this park due to its remote location. It is less crowded, making it ideal for observing wildlife in their natural habitat.
