The Uda Walawe National Park is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see elephants. It is a 1,5 h drive by car from Tangalle and we can arrange a Safari Tour for you.
The park has a population of around 1000 resident and migrant elephants. You can see lots of birds, crocodiles and monkeys. We recommend the Uda Walawe Park rather than Yala because it is less visited and thus offers a more peacefull experience.
