Udawalawe National Park

This park was initially established as a refuge for displaced wild animals following the construction of the Uda Walawe Reservoir on the Walawa River. In 1972, it earned the status of a National Park, covering a vast 31,000-hectare landscape. Today, it serves as a habitat for a diverse range of plant species, wildlife, and birds. Udawalawe National Park is not only a favored destination for tourists but also a frequently frequented site by the local populace.

Visit Elephant Transit Home

The Transit Home is a bustling and vibrant place, where the task of feeding the elephant calves with milk occurs every three hours, tirelessly, all year round. The primary purpose behind establishing this facility is to nurture orphaned elephant calves until they are capable of surviving on their own and can be safely reintroduced to their natural habitat in the wild.
