  • We've been to many safaris in Africa, so I (Adam) was excited to explore what Sri Lanka has to offer in one of it's more accessible National Parks (Udawalawe).
    Udawalawe National Park is known mostly for it's elephants, so I knew what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed. Elephants are one of my favourite animals so it was a special moment to be able to watch them roam free.
    I also visited the nearby Elephant Transit Home which was also an amazing experience to see rescued orphan elephants and learn about the program and how they are released back into the wild.

      This is true, but they do not release elephants back to the wild and from what I understand they also sell them on to other people. I'm not sure of how ethical their program is

    As a Sri Lankan Wildlife Videographer now living in Kenya, I would suggest you to visit Kumana National Park (Leopards), Horton Plains National Park ( Mountain Lascape, cold climate and Mountain Leopards) and Sinharaja Forest Reserve (Birding) , if you want to see the most beautiful sightings. But to be honest Sri Lanka is nothing like Africa.. it's a completely different experience.. 😊😊

      Agreed! I would love to visit all of these places (and will!).
      This trip was only to check if my clients will enjoy the experience and for sure they will 😊
      Thanks for the advice 🙏

    Welcome to Sri Lanka
    If I am correct Sri Lanka s elephant ophernage started in 1975 . Much before other elephant ophernage s and shelters in other countries. Including Africa. Please check and let us know. I may be wrong. But 100 % sure Sri Lanka started in 1975.
    Have a nice and safe journey

      I actually mis-spoke. I should have said Asian elephant. BUT the Asian elephant is split into subspecies, one of which is the Indian elephant. These ones however are Sri Lankan Elephant

    Strange some of the guides are fluent in English. That kinda limits their appeal to a majority of the English-speaking visitors to Sri Lanka.

      I think it could be one of those "get what you pay for" situations. If I had booked the safari with the camp it would have been 4 x the price 😅
