communément appelé foyer de transit des éléphants, ETH, les éléphants orphelins ne sont gardés que jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient assez grands pour être réhabilités et renvoyés dans la nature. Actuellement, il y a 44 éléphants orphelins à l'ETH et le Dr Vijitha Perera, le vétérinaire principal dévoué du Département de la faune et de la conservation (DWC), qui est en charge de l'ETH a les mains pleines, s'occupant des jeunes.
Tenant compagnie aux troupeaux d'éléphants, les principales attractions du parc sont les buffles d'eau, les sangliers, les cerfs tachetés, les cerfs Sambur, les chacals, les lièvres à nuque noire, les mangoustes, les bandicoots, les renards, les endémiques Toque Macaque et Gray Langers. Apercevoir un léopard et d'autres chats plus petits comme le chat de pêche et le chat de la jungle serait un bonus, grognant dans le noir. Vous entrerez véritablement dans un état de joie naturelle si vous absorbez les images et les sons de la nature.

Kajan collected me from the hotel at 6:30am and drove me on my own to the National Park, allowing for a coffee/toilet stop on the way. I was the only one on the safari, due to it being off season, and it was enjoyable. Please remember to bring 2000 rupias to tip the Safari tour guide, Safari jeep driver and Kajan (if you are doing it all solo). Although the trip cost me $400, plus the entry fees to get into the safari and the tips, I feel it was worth it and Kajan was great.
saw many elephants up close. families of elephants. lots of other animals as well. was very well done. Dhanesh good driver 👍
Excellent. Saw lots of elephants. Good driver. He was very helpful and polite. Safari driver and guide very knowledgeable too

No fault with the driver or the elephants. They did their job. Tour company might as well have not been there, no itinerary offered beforehand. No personalized contact. Might as well have found a driver myself.

For this tour, we provide confirmed pickup details a day prior, along with seamless transportation and safari arrangements. However, we understand that you would have preferred a more detailed itinerary in advance, and we appreciate your input. We will work on improving our communication to ensure future guests have clearer expectations. We truly value your thoughts and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future. Best regards, Jeev
An excellent day out, with a courteous and informative driver. We saw *loads* of elephants, including some very close up, and got to experience an authentic side to Sri Lankan culture. It’s a long day — with around 8 hours of driving — but well worth doing if you’re short on time or restricted by location and want to see elephants in the wild whilst in Sri Lanka.

Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing our safari for your Sri Lankan wildlife exploration. Warm regards, Jeev
The trip was every good, and the safari in Udawalawe National Park lived up to all expectations (with the exception that it was not three hours - closer to two and a quarter hours). There were many elephants and we experienced them up close and for long periods. It was beautiful. In addition we saw water buffalo, spotted deer and a wide variety of extraordinary bird life, all against a magnificent, natural back drop. Subsequent to this, we visited the Elephant Transit Home...this expense is additional to the tour costs (and is minimal, AND worth every bit of it). Some things to keep in mind if you are travelling solo...when you select the single option, the cost doubles ($150USD becomes $300USD, which when converted to Australian Dollars becomes a very expensive day trip). This is fine...I enjoy traveling solo and am prepared to pay if necessary...however I was advised when I was picked up that we would be traveling to Udawalwe via Galle to pick up another solo traveler (who, it turns out, had also paid the increased solo fare). While not too far out of the way in distance, we had to travel through some back roads for the pick up, and this resulted in my experiencing 4.5hrs travel time in each direction, where travel estimates online suggested 3.5hrs travel time via Southern Expressway. It is a long journey if your are restricted for time and can only manage day trips, as is my situation (5.45am pick up - 7.15pm drop off). Thankfully we proved to be compatible travel companions for the day, given we had to share the back seat of a Toyota Prius, however prior notice would have been welcome, and would definitely have attracted questions regarding the cost, and why I was still expected to pay for a solo trip!!! Our tour guide, Navin, was excellent and friendly...the driver was good, however at times we reached speeds of 150km'h on the Southern Expressway, with which I was uncomfortable. On the whole, a satisfying experience that delivered on all promises, however there does need to be better communication and information regarding costs for solo travelers, and assurance that if they are paying for the benefit/privilege/compensation of having the car and tour guide to themselves, that tour operators honor that.

The tour was very well organised. I got a pick-up from my hotel in Colombo and went with a convenient car to Udawalawe. The way was long but not boring at all as the driver/guide had a very good English and showed and explained me everything. In the park we could see a lot of animals like elephants, birds, crocodiles, water buffallos etc. The national park is a large area so there were no crowd of cars near the animals which I was a bit afraid before. I would recommend this tour to everyone who is lucky to visit the country.
