The safari will take you on a short game drive through the wilds of Kaudulla. The park is known for its elephant sightings, especially towards the end of the dry season in September. The Kaudulla tank hosts a number of birds and other wildlife, being the main source of freshwater in the surrounding area. You will be travelling in a rough terrain (4WD) game vehicle.

Our first ever Safari. Entered at 13:30 (as suggested by our driver) with a photonic heat, but few people. Seeing elephants in their natural habitat was beautiful. In addition to elephants, we were able to see eagles, Macao Toque and many herons. Beautiful experience
