How many days
in Udawalawe?

The luxury answer: 2 nights.

Udawalawe is the country's best park for elephants — open scrubland and the great Udawalawe Reservoir, where herds of fifty to a hundred wild elephants gather. There are no leopards, but the chance of long elephant encounters is the best in Asia.

1. Day 1 — Arrival. Transfer in from Yala (2h) or Tea Country (3h), afternoon scouting safari.
2. Day 2 — Big day. Dawn safari, Elephant Transit Home, evening drive, sundowners.
