We booked through Green Paradise Cottage and they organized everything really well and for a good price. The guide was excellent, we saw a family of wild elephants, some lone male ones, crocodiles, jackals, spotted dear and numerous beautiful birds. Super recommended for animal lovers!

Magical encounter with elephants!
We booked this safari experience through our host at Green paradise cottage. The safari they organized for us was incredible. The driver picked us up right at our guesthouse. Our guide Pasindu was knowledgeable, drove safely, helped us set up both our kids with their car seats in the jeep, and was genuinely nice. We saw so many elephants, including babies. Our guide was patient and gave us plenty of time to take in our encounter with these beautiful animals. We are so happy we chose to come here instead of way too popular Yala. There weren’t many jeeps and everyone was respectful of the animals, something that was very important to us. We highly recommend this tour!
Thank you, Laura and Joseph

Even more than hoped for!
The safari was excellent! Even more than I could hope for; the guide is very friendly, relaxed and professional. He choose the time and places to go and we saw more than 40 elephants! Many baby ones and we got to see them from up close as the guide picked great spots to stay so they came to us. Lunch was also delicious and perfectly organized. Binoculars were top notch. Thanks for the great day! Would recommend to everyone!

Fantastic safari experience
We had amazing safari experience that was organized by Mr Lahiru. Price was fair and the jeep was only for our small group. Saw many different animals and birds, our driver explained us about the park, animal behavior etc. They took care of everything (transfers, entrance fees and even proper breakfast while driving), so we were able to just sit back, relax and enjoy the view :) I can very highly recommend them!

Unforgettable morning surround by elephants
I booked a safari with viator recently during my trip to sri lanka.from the day i've booked owner contacted and assisting.
They picked me up from the homestay i was staying and head out to park before sunrise.
From the movement we entered the national park it was absolutely beautiful scenary.even after 2mints passee we spot our first elephants.it was a pack.and afterwards one by one we spot lots of animals.deers/crocodiles/lots of birds/ buffalos everything.
What more exiting was to stay with 4 elephants for while during the tour.they were literally right beside my seat.with a small baby elephant 😍
Big thanks to them.(mr navodya and the driver mr.sumudu)they made my day absolutely wonderful.
Driver was expert on every road in the jungle.there was a time we didnt follow other jeeps but went on different path.by doing so we spot much more animals.
I would recommend for anyone who's visiting udawalawe.
