The Udawalawe Budget Safari is a package directed towards tourists who are seeking to experience the beauty of the park at the minimal possible cost whilst still feeling the adventurous adventure of wildlife. It is a three hour tour that simply concentrates on the safari experience and with a personalized jeep and professional driver-guide to the heart of Udawalawe National Park. It is plain and simple, no frills and no meals so that you can get in touch with the wilderness without paying extra.
Although it is shorter, this safari has great chances of visiting a good portion of the most iconic species of the park. Udawalawe boasts of a huge herd of wild Asian asian elephants which can be seen grazing, moving in a group or even seen drinking at water holes. You can also find spotted deer, water buffalo, crocodiles and jackals in addition to the elephants, and there will be a wonderful array of bird life that puts the park in motion and sound.
The three hour schedule will allow you the freedom to select one of the two safaris in the morning and afternoon where each has its own view of the park. Early in the morning, animals are more on the move and a morning is the best way to see the elephants or even observe the birds in the warm golden light of dawn. Afternoon tour, on the other hand, will usually take the wildlife nearer the rivers and lakes where the crocodiles bask and the elephants take a bath where the changing light will be a good environment to take a photograph.
Although it is the simplest safari experience, this one still offers an exciting and true experience of the wildness of Udawalawe. You will ride in a robust jeep with an informative guide to explore numerous landscapes such as grasslands, forests and wetlands. To explore the wild essence of Udawalawe, the 3 Hours Budget Safari is the most suitable option to choose to see the wildlife and to save money or time.
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.
