Our tour guide Sameera took us up early in the morning directly in the hotel. Communication via Whatsapp was easy.
After 2.5hours drive we were in Udawalawe where we changed to a safari jeep. There we had a private safari driver who drove almost 4 hours through the safari park. It was really amazing to be so close to the elephants. Our driver knew a lot about the animals in the park and could give answer to everything we asked. It's recommendable to go very early in the morning. Especially after sunrise the elephants and water buffaloes are really active. During daytime we were told that they hide because of the heat. On the way back Sameera took us to his family's house which was really a special experience :-) Thank you Sameera for the great day!
