Udawalawe National Park Safari

Udawalawe National Park - Located in southern Sri Lanka, Udawalawe National Park was established in 1972 to safeguard wildlife affected by the creation of the Udawalawe Reservoir. The park is renowned for its significant population of Asian elephants, often seen in large numbers near the reservoir. Its open grasslands and scrubland provide an excellent environment for observing elephants and other wildlife such as leopards, sambar deer, and water buffaloes. Additionally, the park serves as a vital bird sanctuary, hosting over 180 species, and features the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home, a center for rehabilitating orphaned elephant calves.

Elephant Transit Home (ETH) - The Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home (ETH) is a government-operated facility in Sri Lanka dedicated to rehabilitating orphaned and abandoned elephant calves, with the aim of releasing them back into the wild. Visitors can observe the young elephants being fed milk and a power mix at designated times from a viewing platform. This initiative is part of a program to reintegrate juveniles into the Udawalawe National Park ecosystem, with the hope that they will eventually join wild herds.
