Udawalawe National Park Safari, Udawalawa 70190, Sri Lanka This short but unforgettable safari will take you to some of the best haunts of wildlife within the Udawalawe National Park. With the support of your safari guide you will be able to catch sight of a number of flora and fauna native to Sri Lanka. The safari is designed to give you an understanding of animals in the wild, and will bring you many steps closer to raw nature.
You will be travelling in the rough terrain open Safari Jeep for the most part. But there may be points where your guide may suggest getting off and walking closer for a clear view of birds and other small wildlife. However, the safari takes serious consideration of your safety and therefore, with regards to the wild elephants and other larger wildlife, it is strongly advised that you do not descend from your jeep for safety purposes (especially when coming upon lone elephants, which may get aggressive when disturbed). 180 minutes

En quelques mots: Ruwan est un guide compétent et dédié, planifiez 6h si vous pouvez (il faut être patient), et ce service permet de ne pas avoir à gérer les coûts, trouver un guide, ou être déçu par de mauvaises surprises.
Le parc d'Udawalawe est réellement un incontournable d'un voyage au Sri Lanka, et pour être sûre d'en profiter au maximum, je conseille fortement de confier cette expérience à Ruwan, un guide patient, dédié, passionné et extraordinaire !
Nous avons opté pour une excursion de 6h le matin, et n'en avons pas été déçus, loin de ça !
Plutôt que d'avoir à naviguer les différents coûts et services par nous-même (entrée du parc, location de la jeep et du conducteur, trouver un guide compétent), cette expérience permet de ne pas avoir à stresser ou laisser des choses au hasard.
Ruwan parle très bien anglais, et prend en charge l'itinéraire et la journée. Il est patient, sait quand se poser et attendre pour pouvoir apercevoir un bébé éléphant, ou quand passer à autre chose. Il a pleins de connaissances sur les animaux du parc, tous les oiseaux et est une personne très agréable à côtoyer.
J'ai adoré.
