Southern Wildlife Belt

Udawalawe

Populair safarigebied, vooral bekend om olifanten en eenvoudige toegang tot het park.

Introductie

Udawalawe is een sterk alternatief voor of aanvulling op Yala, vooral voor reizigers die een eenvoudiger parkformaat en zeer grote kans op olifanten willen.

Its tourism value is tied to the national park and conservation landscape rather than to an urban or archaeological centre.

Beste reistijd

Like other safari zones, dry weather improves visibility, but operator quality and the timing of drives remain critical.

Bereikbaarheid

It is often reached from Ella, Tangalle, or the southern interior and can work well on routes that do not want to go as far as Yala.
