Private Jeep Safari at Kaudulla National Park

Located near the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, Kaudulla National Park is one of three national parks and one eco park in the region, offering a remarkable opportunity to witness Sri Lanka’s rich biodiversity. Known for hosting the largest gathering of Asian elephants in the region, Kaudulla is a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts. Elephants can be seen throughout most of the year, moving between the nearby parks depending on the season. In addition to elephants, Kaudulla is home to 23 species of mammals, including Sambar Deer, Sri Lankan Axis Deer, Chevrotain, Wild Boar, and on rare occasions, elusive predators such as Leopards and Sloth Bears.

Bird watchers will be equally delighted, as the park is a haven for over 160 bird species, including large water birds like the Spot-billed Pelican and Lesser Adjutant. Other commonly sighted species include the Asian Spoonbill, Grey-headed Fish Eagle, Black-headed Ibis, Painted Stork, and Openbill Stork. The park skies are often graced by majestic raptors such as the Peacock, Eagle, and the native Giant Eagle. Whether you're exploring the lush forests, wetlands, or open grasslands, Kaudulla offers an unforgettable safari experience in the heart of Sri Lanka’s natural wilderness.
