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 Tangalle to Udawalawe offers a relaxing and scenic journey from a quiet coastal town to one of Sri Lanka’s top wildlife destinations. Starting from Tangalle, known for its untouched beaches, calm atmosphere, and turtle nesting shores, the route takes you inland through peaceful villages, open landscapes, and rural surroundings.
As you move away from the coast, the scenery gradually changes into dry-zone forests and wildlife-rich areas, passing through Nonagama, Ambalantota, and Embilipitiya before reaching the open grasslands of Udawalawe.
This journey is ideal for travelers who want to combine a peaceful beach stay with an exciting safari experience. The smooth transition from coastal serenity to nature and wildlife makes this route both refreshing and memorable.
By the time you reach Udawalawe, you’ll be ready for a safari adventure among some of Sri Lanka’s largest wild elephant herds. Prefer starting from a different coastal town instead? See our Mirissa to Udawalawe taxi route for another scenic way to reach the national park.
Climb Mulkirigala Rock Temple: A stunning ancient Buddhist temple perched on a massive rock. It is often called the “Little Sigiriya” and offers incredible panoramic views of the surrounding jungle.
Explore Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary: Stop for a tranquil mangrove boat ride. This coastal wetland is a paradise for birdwatchers and a great warm-up for the big safari.
Taste Embilipitiya Buffalo Curd: The route through Nonagama and Embilipitiya is famous across Sri Lanka for authentic Buffalo Curd and sweet Kithul Treacle. It is a must-do local culinary stop.
Relax at Madunagala Hot Springs: Take a slight detour to these natural thermal baths. It is a great spot to soak your feet and experience a unique geological site before heading into the national park.
Visit Rekawa Turtle Watching Beach: Just outside Tangalle, this is one of Sri Lanka’s most important sea turtle nesting sites, offering a memorable early-morning or evening wildlife encounter before you set off.
Stop at Ridiyagama Safari Park: Located near Ambalantota on the way to Udawalawe, this safari park is home to lions, giraffes, and other exotic wildlife, making it a fun break for families.
