Udawalawe,
a luxury guide.
Sri Lanka's elephant park — herds of up to a hundred at the reservoir.
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.
Best time: April to September. Duration: 2 nights.
