Stop At: Udawalawe National Park Sri Lanka

Framed by soaring highlands on its northern boundary, the Uda Walawe National Park is one of the world's best places to see wild elephants. Largely comprised of grasslands and bush forest, it's also one of the best national parks in Sri Lanka for game spotting.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Elephant Transit Home (ETH), 5km west of the Uda Walawe National Park entrance, Udawalawe National Park Sri Lanka

Supported by the Born Free Foundation, this complex is a halfway house for orphaned elephants. After rehabilitation, the elephants are released back into the wild, many into the Uda Walawe National Park. Although you can’t get up close and personal with the elephants, seeing them at feeding time (from a viewing platform) is still a lot of fun.


Duration: 30 minutes

Udawalawe National Park, located in Sri Lanka, is a remarkable destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers. Spanning over 30,000 hectares, this national park offers a unique and unforgettable experience, especially with its close proximity to the Elephant Transit Home. One of the main highlights of Udawalawe National Park is its thriving population of elephants. The park is home to over 600 elephants, making it one of the best places in the world to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The Elephant Transit Home, situated within the park, adds an extra layer of excitement and educational value to the overall experience. The Elephant Transit Home is a rehabilitation center for orphaned and injured elephants. It aims to provide a safe and nurturing environment for these elephants until they are ready to be released back into the wild. Visitors to Udawalawe National Park have the opportunity to witness the feeding sessions at the transit home, where the baby elephants are bottle-fed with milk. This heartwarming sight allows visitors to understand the conservation efforts being made to protect these incredible animals.

I could start the safari at the beforehand chosen time and we were very lucky to see elephants very close by as well as other animals. The elephant feeding at the elephant transit home was also very nice.
