Great safari, despite the weather. We saw many elephants, include a baby. And so close to some. Also saw macaques, various eagles and buffalo, as well as a huge croc. And so so many peafowl. Guide/driver was great, spoke great English, and warned us off from the "extra" guide that tried to join us at the entrance to the park, who claimed to be free, but would have asked for a hefty tip, and would not have added anything that the driver did not already provide. Car to and from hotel was comfy, and stopped as needed.

Our trip to Udawalawe national park was amazing. Everything was super organized, we didn't have to worry about anything and we felt safe the whole time. Our safari guide Chamara was really nice and he answered all our questions with a smile. His knowledge was amazing. We also got to see so many elephants and other beautiful animals. We highly recommend doing this trip.

Depends what you want out of the Safari. You are seeing wildlife, so of course spotting specific animals aren’t always guaranteed. I guess the reason I’m giving this a 3/5 is because we paid about $80 per person which included: park entrance, jeep, private guide, breakfast, and search from 5:30am-12pm. To me, $80 wasn’t worth it but of course that is my own opinion. We met another couple who paid $45 for the exact same thing except from 530-1030 and it wasn’t private. I would recommend to shop around before purchasing online or through your hotel, there are better prices for the same experience.

three hours was completely enough in the park. You should let driver know you want to eat before going to park because there’s no restaurant nearby. The communication was pretty good with the company also the Safari driver was very nice. Do not hesitate to book the tour.

We saw a lot of animals, water oxes and birds. The whole team was very nice and friendly, but the guide could have told a bit more about the animals. All in all it was a nice experience!
