Embark on a Udawalawe National Park Safari

Udawalawe National Park is roughly two hours from Ella, so an early start is essential if you want to catch the sunrise and maximize your wildlife sightings.

Expect to see herds of elephants along with other animals such as crocodiles, buffalo, and various bird species. You may even spot elephants before you officially enter the park. Most visitors who do this as a day trip can return to Ella in time for lunch and still enjoy more activities afterward.
