At the crack of dawn, you’ll set off for Udawalawe National Park, an approximately two-hour journey from your Ahungalla hotel (Riu Hotel / Heritance Hotel). This park is a sanctuary to several hundred elephants and a variety of rare plants and wildlife.

Udawalawe plays a vital role in the conservation of Sri Lankan wild elephants, which can be easily observed in their open habitats. The park’s primary attraction is the Udawalawe Reservoir, which draws a herd of elephants believed to be permanent residents.
Visit Elephant Transit Home
Following your safari adventure, your next stop will be the Elephant Transit Home. ‘Ath Athuru Sevana’ is a government-run sanctuary located in Udawalawe, Sri Lanka. It provides a haven for baby elephants that have been discovered abandoned, orphaned, ill, or injured in the jungle. These young elephants are nurtured, cared for, and treated at the Elephant Transit Home until they make a full recovery and can be safely returned to their natural habitat in the wild.
