We totally enjoyed our two treks.The first was through four different tea plantations. The scenery was beautiful and our guide was very good. I really liked that the treks were just the two of us and our guide. The second trek was through different villages in Bandarawela. We met many different people along the way it was a real cultural experience. We had a wonderful guide and were invited into her home for tea. When our trek was finished we had a wonderful lunch prepared by Deen’s wife. Both treks were non touristic; it was exactly what I was looking forward. I highly recommend this experience!

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.

We were lucky to do a 10 day tour with the driver-guide Anura "Claude", he was a very responsible man, a safe driver. The traffic in sri lanka is very crazy, but Anura made the travel hours safe. In addition, the entire tour accompanied us with the stories and ancient traditions of Sri Lanka. We will surely return to Sri Lanka with Anura "Claude" !!!! Mamen & Jaime Spain
