Description

Travel by private taxi from Ella to Udawalawa for a shared wildlife safari, then continue to Mirissa, Tangalle, or Weligama. We wait during your safari and assist with jeep and ticket reservations.
Start your journey from Ella in a private air-conditioned taxi and travel comfortably to Udawalawa National Park for an unforgettable wildlife experience. You can choose between a morning safari (around 4:00 AM pickup) or an afternoon safari (around 12:00 PM pickup) depending on your travel plans.

This package includes private transport only. The safari jeep and national park entrance tickets are not included in the price. However, we can arrange your safari jeep and entrance tickets directly through the official Udawalawa reservation system at a reasonable local rate — with no extra charges or hidden fees for our assistance.

During your safari (approximately 3–4 hours), your taxi driver will wait for you outside the park. After your safari experience, we will continue your journey to your selected south coast destination — Mirissa, Tangalle, or Weligama — making your travel smooth and stress-free.

The safari itself is a shared jeep experience, not a private safari. This keeps costs reasonable while still offering excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, including elephants, buffalo, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birds.

This experience requires a minimum of 2 guests and allows up to 4 guests per booking. Solo travelers cannot book this tour. Special discounted pricing is available for the 3rd and 4th guests, making it ideal for couples or small groups traveling together.

This tour combines wildlife adventure with a comfortable southbound transfer, allowing you to explore Udawalawa and continue your journey in one seamless experience.
