Full Day Safari
A full day inside Udawalawe with breakfast, lunch, fruit and drinks — the deepest coverage we offer.
A full day in the park, covering ground half-day drives never reach. The reservoir sector, a rest through the midday heat, then the eastern tracks when sightings peak. Breakfast served in the field and a rice-and-curry lunch by the Udawalawe reservoir.
