Traveling from Yala to Udawalawe connects two of Sri Lanka’s best wildlife parks in one comfortable journey. Starting near Yala National Park, Tissamaharama, or Kirinda, the route heads north-west through the island’s southern dry zone, leaving one safari behind on the way to the open grasslands and elephant herds of the next.
Along the way, you’ll pass Tissamaharama’s lake and temple, the quiet Debarawewa Reservoir, and the small farming town of Thanamalwila, giving you a genuine feel for rural southern Sri Lanka between the two parks.
This route is ideal for travelers completing a Yala safari who want to continue straight on to Udawalawe for another safari, a visit to the Elephant Transit Home, or an overnight stay near the park, without changing buses or arranging separate transport.
By the time you reach Udawalawe, you’ll have swapped Yala’s dense scrub jungle for open plains that are home to some of Sri Lanka’s largest wild elephant herds. Continuing your southern safari circuit? See our Ella to Udawalawe taxi route for another leg of the journey.
Make a short stop near Tissamaharama Lake for photos, views of water birds, and a look at the peaceful temple surroundings.
If your pickup starts near Kirinda, take a moment to see the small fishing harbour and rock temple overlooking the Indian Ocean before heading inland.
Enjoy a quick scenic break near Debarawewa Reservoir, especially during the morning or late afternoon when the light is softer.
Stop for Sri Lankan tea, king coconut, fresh fruit, or a local snack while travelling through Thanamalwila.
As you approach Udawalawe, enjoy open views across the reservoir bordering the national park, home to plenty of resident birdlife.
Arrange your arrival around the public feeding time at the Elephant Transit Home, where orphaned elephant calves are cared for before release back into the wild.
