We had a really great safari experience with our guide Lahiru. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the wildlife. We saw lots of elephants, including a less than three week old baby elephant. There were several species of amazing birds - pelicans, herons, a stork, kingfishers, eagles, hornbills - a turtle, crocodiles, water buffalo, deer, even the notoriously shy jackal made an appearance! In hindsight, we wish we had asked for a little information about the conservation efforts of the national park - we would have loved to have learned a little more about what they do and why. So be sure to have some questions ready if you’re interested in this side of things too! Contact Lahiru via what’s app: +94 76 272 6799

The Udawalawe Elephant Transfer Home is a facility within Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka that was established in 1995 by the Sri Lanka Department of Wildlife Conservation. Its primary objective is to rehabilitate orphaned elephant calves for ultimate release back into the wild. Sri Lankan elephants (Elephas maximus maximus) are an endangered species and their survival in their natural habitats is threatened due to human activities. Elephants in the wild are constantly being killed, and many elephant calves become orphaned. In order to support these orphaned elephants, the Department of Wildlife Conservation set up the Elephant Transit Home within Udawalawe National Park with help from the Born Free Foundation.The facility was established under the 29th Amendment to the Fauna and Flora Protection Ordinance Part II. As of 8 February 2009, 39 orphaned elephant calves were being looked after.The elephant calves are released to the jungle after they become strong enough to survive in their natural habitats. As of 2008, sixty-five elephants had been released to the jungle. BEST PLACE FOR KIDS.
