Private Kaudulla National Park Safari

Asian elephants, hundreds of birds and many other species await you at Kaudulla National Park. Discover its wildlife with this private photographic safari from Kandy.

Activity Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Kandy and take a 2.5-hour journey by minibus to arrive at Kaudulla National Park. At the entrance, we'll get on a jeep to start the Kaudulla safari. During the three-hour drive, we'll discover the reserve's ecological value. The park is an IBA (Important Bird and Biodiversity Area), containing 160 species of birds, 24 species of mammals, 25 species of reptiles, and 26 species of fish. You'll encounter birds such as cranes, peacocks, and pelicans, enhancing your bird identification skills.

We'll stop at a picnic area, so please pack lunch. In the afternoon, the safari continues through areas with a high population of Asian elephants. Sri Lanka is one of the few countries preserving a significant herd of this endangered species.

During the safari, we'll attempt to see other animals such as buffalos and Ceylon deer. The park also hosts a large colony of Asian reptiles, many of which are native to Sri Lanka and some areas of India.

We'll finish the safari at the park entrance and take the minibus back to your hotel in Kandy, arriving 10 hours later.
