Family Sri Lanka Tour: 9 Days of Safari, Scenic Train, Turtles & Safe Beaches
A private 8 to 10 day family Sri Lanka tour for UK and German families at Christmas and Easter: short drives, an Udawalawe elephant safari,
Traveling from Ella to Udawalawe takes you from the cool, misty hill country of Sri Lanka to the warm, wildlife-rich plains of Udawalawe National Park.
Starting in Ella, a hill station famous for its tea plantations, mountain viewpoints, and the iconic Nine Arches Bridge, the journey winds down through Wellawaya before opening into the dry lowlands near Udawalawe.
As you leave the hills behind, the temperature rises and the scenery shifts from tea estates and forested slopes to open paddy fields, scrub jungle, and rural villages, giving you a real sense of Sri Lanka’s changing landscapes in just a few hours.
This route is ideal for travelers who want to pair a relaxing hill-country stay with an unforgettable wildlife experience, since it leads directly to Udawalawe, one of Sri Lanka’s best destinations for spotting wild elephants.
By the time you reach Udawalawe, you’ll trade misty mountain views for open grasslands, ready for a safari that ranks among the top wildlife experiences on the island.
Prefer starting from a different town instead? See our Kandy to Udawalawe taxi route for another scenic way to reach the national park.
Start your journey by visiting Ella’s most iconic landmark, the Nine Arches Bridge, surrounded by lush greenery and tea plantations.
Take a short hike to Little Adam’s Peak and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Ella’s mountains, valleys, and tea estates.
One of Sri Lanka’s most famous waterfalls, Ravana Falls is located just outside Ella and is a popular stop for photographs and sightseeing.
According to the Ramayana legend, Ravana Cave is believed to have been used by King Ravana, making it a fascinating historical and cultural stop near Ella.
Once you arrive, head out on a jeep safari to see the large herds of wild elephants that make Udawalawe one of Sri Lanka’s premier safari parks.
See rescued baby elephants being cared for and prepared for release back into the wild at this popular sanctuary near Udawalawe National Park.
