Kaudulla national park

Kaudulla National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s most peaceful and rewarding wildlife habitats, located just a short drive from Sigiriya and Habarana.
Centered around a historic reservoir built by ancient kings, the park supports a wonderful mix of grass plains, forests, and open lakes, making it a perfect natural gathering point for wild animals.

A safari here offers a calm, immersive experience where visitors can enjoy wildlife without the large crowds seen in some other parks.
Elephants can often be seen in large family groups, including playful young calves and impressive tuskers, wandering freely across the meadows or cooling off in the waters of Kaudulla Lake.

The safari route travels through quiet forest trails and wide-open landscapes, giving clear opportunities to spot elephants, deer, monkeys, birds, and even crocodiles along the lakeside. Your guide and driver will help you follow animal footprints, identify bird species, and reach the best viewing spots depending on the season.

Whether you are a nature lover, family traveler, or photographer, Kaudulla offers a safe, comfortable, and exciting journey through one of Sri Lanka’s most important wildlife conservation areas — where you can enjoy pure wilderness and unforgettable moments with its majestic animal residents.
