This half-day safari will give you the chance of visiting Udawalawe National Park which is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see wild elephants. An Asian elephant herd, no less than 250, is permanently residing at Udawalawe national park. The park is capable of sustaining large numbers of elephants because of its abundant water sources. Hundreds of elephants annually migrate to the park from nearby protected areas as well. Udawalawe national park was created for elephants displaced by the construction of the adjoining Udawalawe reservoir. Furthermore, Udawalawe is an important bird area with a wide range such as aquatic, birds of prey, and land birds in abundance. If you like to explore Sri Lankan birdlife, morning safari experiences are known to include rare bird sightings frequently.

The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly. The 3 hours passed by in no time and gave us many nice memories. Would totally recommend booking a trip with these guys :-)

This is more of a response to the Covid-19 event and the lack of being able to contact this company and to receive a refund for a prepaid custom tour. We booked and paid for our tour in February 2020. When our cruise was cancelled because of Covid-19 we requested a refund in May 2020. We received no response to this request. The next time we received an email from them was to rate the tour that we would have taken in October 2020. In trying to contact them now we receive a bounce back to the emails that we send them. Covid-19 did not shut down the internet so contact should have been made to let us know the situation of their business.

We (two of us) booked the 6 hour tour only a couple days before we wanted to take the Safari, Lakpura confirmed our tour very quickly and Ruwan kept in contact the whole time meaning they picked us at our hotel at half 5 in the morning no problem. They took us to the park and our driver ran to pick up our entrance tickets, which are in addition to the driver and car fee (what you pay for online), so was just less than 8000LKR (the driver gave us our change), they give you the option to go pick up your tickets yourself but you'll end up further back in the queue, unless you sprint. On a side note I was reluctant to book a whole jeep for just two of us but actually it seems like almost everyone does this. You're then in the park and it's pretty incredible, we saw elephants almost immediately. This is where Ruwan really came into his own, the amount he spotted was crazy all manner of birds and animals, letting us use his binoculars to get a better view. I honestly don't think we would've noticed all the crocodiles without Rowan, he also clearly knew all the best haunts for elephants and the like. I really can't write enough praise for Rowan, his passion made the Safari, and also took loads of pictures of us and sent them across. My last comment is that I recommend the 6 hour trip, it made sure we saw loads of animals and you have that extra more quiet period in the park where the 3 hour tours leave.

After reading a bunch of recent reviews, my friends and I were very enthusiastic about this trip. Whilst the transfer from our hotel was ok, we were disappointed with the jeep. It was pretty beat up compared to lots of others around. On top of that we weren’t offered a guide as mentioned in other reviews. Our driver wasn’t particularly chatty or informative. Throughout the trip we were reminded that we ‘were lucky’ to see elephants as it was dry season. Our driver did go deeper into the park than other companies though my friends and I are can’t agree whether this was to take up time or because he was genuinely trying to find us other animals. A nice little snack and tea were provided though and we DID end up seeing the elephants so 3 stars for that.
