Udawalawe Safari Gita di un giorno con trasporto di ritorno - All Inclusive

We (myself and two adult sons) purchased an all-inclusive tour that included park tickets, a tour guide at the park and lunch after the tour. The "included lunch" came with no beverages, not even water. In addition to paying for our beverages (i.e. three juices), we were charged a service charge for the beverages. The park guide assigned to us was not good. He chose to sit in the back row of the jeep, and it was difficult to hear him speak. His English was noticeably limited. Without notice, we stopped at some small local lodging within the park to "walk around." I eventually had to ask the park guide to continue with the tour. The park guide was not very informative or talkative as I expected, but was very expressive about getting a tip for his poor service. He even approached my son for another tip. However, I was pleased with the jeep driver at the park and the car service driver that brought us to the park and back to our hotel.

Excellent tour. Would recommend.

The transfer arrangements to and from Bentota to Udawlawe were on time and very comfortable. Our driver, Mineshaft was very safe and helpful. The arranged tour around the park was well done and the driver/guide was keen to show us more than just elephants. Great day topped off by the baby elephant feeding session. Highly recommend Bentota Travelmart and particularly Sam Perera who kept us informed throughout the whole booking.

Fantastic tour. Very well organised transport and safari with excellent guides who were able to spot a wide variety of animals. Would highly recommend!

What to say about this tour?? First of all, Sam replied very clearly et quickly when I contacted him and we booked the safari in Udawale promptly! We saw so many elephants, they were so close and this made my trip! It was the best day ever! We were staying in Hiriketya and a driver came pick us up at 4:30 , he was professional and very kind! The lunch was delicious as well! I recommend this company with my eyes closed, thank you Sam!

If you ever get the chance to do this trip then go. You will see elephants in there natural environment as well as lots of other animals. Crocodiles, kingfishers (we saw the 3 different types), monkeys, mongoose, herons, bee catchers etc etc. We then went onto watch the baby elephants being fed their milk. What a beautiful experience and one we will never forgot. Sam at Bentota Travel Mart was brillant, his communication was on time with exactly the information that we needed. Ishan our guide was also amazing. He was on time, polite, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. His driving was excellent and got us to all the right places at exactly the right times. It's the little things, for example the car was spotless with good air conditioning and Ishan opened my door for me every time.

Great experience, with fantastic tour guides... Would definately recommend.

Had an amazing safari to Udawalawe National Park, saw a huge amount of birds, crocodiles and elephants, our guide was very good at pointing out everything. Really lucky with all the animals we saw. After we went to the Elephant Transit Home. It was lovely to see the elephants. I had read on previous reviews that lots of people went and it was crowded. There were also families with lots of children shouting which spoilt the experience. It’s a shame that the people that run the home do not ask people to shout out and make loads of noise. It spoilt it for me and I felt sorry for the baby elephants having to hear that which shouldn’t be allowed. Or maybe children under a certain age should not go?

A must for any elephant lovers, it’s a long day, but you are pickup from hotel and delivered back in an air conditioned car, the safari is a memorable experience with a knowledgeable guide getting you close up with the elephant, fellowed by feeding time at the elephant orphanage.

Really good day trip all made very easy for us from pick in Hiriketiya and travelling up to the national park and back. We did the morning safari and although is a very early pick up at 5am, it’s worth it to beat the crowds and heat! The safari itself was really good we saw many bird species pointed out by our guide, sleeping crocodiles on the edge of the water and many elephants some up really close we could have touched them (we didn’t!). Our 5&8year old loved it! Great stressless tour would highly recommend We did have problems when trying to book on trip advisor as we were in and air b&b that was not on their pick up list or anywhere near but we rang up the number and they were very helpful. Ended uk getting picked up just 5 min walk away
