The private 4 Hours Udawalawe Safari Tour is an ideal option when the traveler would like to feel the excitement of a safari but in a lesser time. It is a small-scale adventure into the core of the Udawalawe National Park and is one that will allure you to the breathtaking scenery and the most iconic wildlife in Sri Lanka. Everything is organized to enjoy an easy and comfortable adventure outing with a jeep, an experienced local guide and small refreshments are included.
When deciding on the safari you can choose the morning one because this is the time when you can see the park at its best. The wilderness is awakened with the rising of the sun. Elephants roam the grass lands, deer roam the open plains, and colorful birds fill the skies with their calls. Photography is especially rewarding in the early hours when the golden light brings dramatic effects in the forests as well as lakes and open fields. The alternative suits early birds who would like to enjoy the freshness and vitality of the park in the dawn.
The afternoon safari has a new mood. With the end of the heat of the day animals come to watering holes, and the best time to see herds of elephants quenching themselves and crocodiles sunning on the banks of the rivers. Jackals can be watched roaming around the grasslands and the birds are active particularly in the softer light of afternoons. The dynamism of the colors of the landscape is one more aspect of the experience that makes this period of the day unforgettable as well.
This four-hour tour is not a long one since it does not require a full or a half-day adventure, but it is full of wildlife sightseeing and beautiful scenery. Through the guidance of an expert naturalist who knows the ways of the park, you will develop an insight into behavior of the animals and the harmony of the site ecosystems. It doesn’t matter whether you do the 4 Hours Private Udawalawe Safari Tour in the morning or in the afternoon, it is a memory account of the fascinating wilderness of Udawalawe that would linger longer than your journey time ends.
Begin your full-day adventure at 5:30 AM or 10:00 AM, depending on your preferred schedule. You’ll ride in a private 4×4 jeep with a skilled local guide who will lead you through Udawalawe’s diverse landscapes—from grasslands and lakes to forest patches teeming with wildlife.
The tour includes multiple game drive sessions, allowing you to witness animal activity during both morning and afternoon hours. Take breaks to relax, enjoy bottled water and light snacks, and soak in the natural beauty around you. The journey ends around 2:00 PM or 6:00 PM, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Sri Lanka’s wild side.
