Udawalawe Half Day Private Safari Tour: this is ideal where one wishes to have the fun of a longer safari without the obligation of the one-day safari. This is a 6 hour safari tour, and it gives an option of having a morning or afternoon adventure, which presents a different view of the different wildlife and scenery found in the park. Having breakfast to serve morning safaris, lunch to serve afternoon safaris, everything is specified to make it comfortable and enjoyable during the whole process.
The morning safari starts with the sun shining over the Udawalawe and shines golden light on the park. This is the time of year when the wild is the liveliest, and the elephants are searching the grasslands, and the peacocks are flaunting their colorful plumes, and the birds are in the sky making a noise. The colder weather is also best suited to seeing the active herds of deer and water buffalo as well as producing beautiful shots of the natural scenery. At about the half way point, you will have a freshly made breakfast and then proceed further into the park.
The afternoon safari, however, shows the park in a totally different light. These animals come together at rivers and watering holes as the day warms, providing them with great opportunities to spot bathing and drinking elephants, crocodiles in the sun and jackals in the open plains. Light in later afternoon is softer and provides drama to the landscapes which are ideal in photography. Lunch is provided and you will have the strength to enjoy all the adventure.
Lead by a professional naturalist using a comfortable 4×4 jeep, this half day safari is the best choice in terms of time and comfort as well as wildlife viewing. In the morning or afternoon option, you will experience the beauty of Udawalawe National Park in the best way and will be left with memorable experiences of the wild heart of Sri Lanka.
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.
