Super well organized, very responsive and reliable agency -Kamal the owner was our contact - offering flexible programs you can adapt to your wishes.

A great safari experience. It is home to lots of animals. And also we saw variety of different species of birds. We didn't expect too much. But we were really lucky to see number of species. Udawalawe is best place to visit to enjoy the nature .

Thought this excursion was really good. Pretty early morning pickup but definitely worth it when I got to see the feeding of the elephants. Inside the park there were also lots of animals to see. Amazing to see the animals in their element. Had a great guide all day. The return trip to the hotel was beyond expectations. Nice ride but good staff, fresh car with good ac. I also stopped at extra places when I asked.

Had an amazing day visiting Udawalawe National Park today. Our guide picked us up from our Bentota hotel prompt at 05:30 in a very comfortable, air conditioned car. On our 3 hour car journey he pointed out things of interest & we were lucky enough to have time to stop & visit the Transit Camp where, to our delight, we watched the orphaned babies/youngsters receive their 09:00 milk feeds. Some of the little ones broke into a run with excitement - delightful. The safari was brilliant - we saw several elephant family groups. Along with monkeys, water buffalo & many beautiful birds. Lunch followed & our return journey was very comfortable. A day we will always remember.

We had a great safari with Lahiru and his driver. They used different paths to spot the animals while allowing us to enjoy the safari without getting disturb by other jeeps. Saw elephants very close up, lots of birds, deers, buffalos, monkeys, crocodiles. We saw almost every animal we expected to see except leopards. Everything about the safari was professional and enjoyble. I would highly recommend this company for safari.

We really enjoyed 3 hours safari visit to udawalawe park. The driver was excellent and spotted so much wild life to show us and lots of interesting information. He helped us to take great photos and took lot of time to explain about animals. We saw many elephants, water buffaloes, crocodile, deers, jackal and birds. Morning is the best time to spot animals. This is our first safari and we really enjoyed it.

We booked a day trip to Udawalawe national park with Overa Tours last week. It was coordinated by Hiran and everything was perfectly arranged from start to the end. We were picked up from our hotel on time, the vehicle was clean, driver was excellent in speaking English and Jeep driver was very informative and friendly. We were lucky enough to see elephants, plenty of bird species, mongoose, wild cat and many more. Unfortunately we couldn't find leopards. But there were much to see. Thanks team Overa for arranging such a wonderful day trip for us. If you want to see giant elephants 🐘🐘, Udawalawe is the perfect!Go ahead with Overa team, highly recommended!! 👌
