Excellent tour. Good value for money.
A safari in the Kaudulla national park in Sri Lanka is a bucket-list aspiration for many tourists, which mean the place is an absolutely incredible wildlife spectacle. Located in the historic city of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka, Kaudulla national park presents an ample of opportunities for travellers to spot majestic elephants in their natural habitats. In addition to the elephants, sambar deer, Sri Lankan axis deer, chevrotain, wild boar, Asian spoonbill, grey-headed fish eagle, painted stork and openbill stork are common visuals at the park. Aside from these, one could rarely capture the glimpse of leopard and sloth bear in the forest. Going on a bumpy ride through an evergreen forest of Kaudulla national park along the small trails is a great adventure, wildlife enthusiasts can’t say ‘NO’ to. The Kaudulla reservoir being the life blood to the wildlife of the park, attracts herds of elephants during the dry season from nearby Minneriya, Wasgamuwa and Somawathiya national parks.

Best to see wild elephants
One of the best national parks in Sri Lanka to see wild elephants. We could see around 50 60 elephants during our safari and some close encounters too. We thoroughly enjoyed the safari here. Other than elephants we saw some deer, foxes, many birds. Safari jeep cost is 3500 and entrance ticket for all of us plus jeep and taxes was 900. But for foreigners it cost around 2500 pp. Evenings are the best to witness elephants. Bring a water bottle as you’ll get tired during the ride.

Elephants, Elephants and Elephants
On a good day you can see a large herd of elephants of all sizes. It is an amazing site to see close to 60-70 wild elephants roaming around. Great scenery and can get some really good photos
