The Great Elephant Corridor Safari

Discover the untamed beauty of Kaudulla National Park, a 6,656-hectare wildlife sanctuary that forms a crucial natural corridor for migrating elephants between Minneriya and Somawathiya national parks. Centered around the ancient Kaudulla reservoir—a stunning body of water originally built in the 3rd century AD—this park offers a remarkably scenic and tranquil alternative to Sri Lanka's more crowded safari routes.

During this private jeep safari, you will traverse emerald grasslands and dense dry evergreen forests. Kaudulla is globally celebrated for its massive elephant gatherings, where you can watch hundreds of wild Asian elephants socialize, bathe, and feed near the water's edge. Beyond the magnificent elephants, the park is a designated paradise for birdwatchers, home to over 160 bird species including massive flocks of pelicans and painted storks that gather beautifully at sunset. You may also spot native sambar deer, wild boar, and, on a very lucky day, the elusive Sri Lankan leopard or sloth bear. Enjoy fresh local fruits and refreshments from the comfort of your private 4x4, complete with convenient hotel pick-up.
