Top Parks in Southern Province

Keep an eye on your belongings. I didn’t have any issues, but I heard stories of some people having small items stolen from their jeeps.

I think it's best to book a jeep in advance, especially during peak season. I did this last minute and ended up paying more than I would have liked.

My advice is to take a packed breakfast with you. There aren't many food options inside the park, and it's nice to have a snack while you watch elephants!

I suggest visiting the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home before or after your safari. It's a cool place to see rescued elephants, and it's quite close to the park entrance.

My advice is to go for the morning safari at around 6 AM. The wildlife is more active then, and you'll catch some amazing sightings. Trust me, the sunrise over the park is breath-taking!
