Begin your day early from Kandy with a scenic journey through lush mountains, rural villages, and tea valleys as you travel toward one of Sri Lanka’s most wildlife-rich destinations—Udawalawe National Park.

Upon arrival, enjoy a fully-included guided safari with a professional park ranger–approved driver. Travel by an open 4×4 jeep designed for safe wildlife viewing and follow responsible wildlife-watching practices with no feeding, touching, or disturbing animals—fully compliant with GetYourGuide’s Animal Welfare Policy.

As you explore, keep an eye out for Sri Lankan elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, spotted deer, peacocks, jackals, and over 200 species of birds. Your guide will help you spot wildlife, explain natural behaviors, and ensure a respectful distance at all times.

After the safari, continue your private journey south toward the coast. Pass rolling hills, paddy fields, and small towns before reaching the laid-back beach paradise of Mirissa. Your driver will drop you safely at your selected hotel, ensuring a smooth and comfortable end to your day.
