My SCARIEST safari experience in Udawalawe Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

[@talesofodyssey]

How would you react if this happened to you...?😅

[@chanakabandara3892]

Can’t imagine in that situation anyway Enjoy adventure ❤

You have to find a way to survive only for 03 minutes. Their attacking anger goes withing 03 minutes

[@shehansl2602]

The way you say "can you believe it " ,so cute 😍

[@rasika1003]

@@shehansl2602 It is their normal behavior. Their attacking anger appears quickly and disappears very quickly...

[@anupamdas1811]

The tendency of elephants to be aggressive and ferocious in open vehicles felt incredibly thrilling and adventurous. And this beautiful landscape of this wetland was worth seeing.

[@talesofodyssey]

I don't think they were being overly aggressive, just warning us! But I am very glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏😄

[@oxfdlornwolf]

Elephants may have approached you on several occasions to say "Welcome to Sri Lanka".A very nice video. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Enjoy well dear.😊🤟

[@talesofodyssey]

I've been to Udawalawa twice. My favourite National Park in SL. But WHY didn't you introduce us to your guide? He seemed to have done a good job. Maybe you could recommend him here.

[@suzettesteenberg1491]

[@dindi2223]

I'm sri Lankan. When I was a kid my family and I went for a safari in Udawalawa and one elephant charged at as just like this. But more aggressive than this. He ran behind our jeep for a considerable distance. That elephant was called "Thaniya" means loner and they're know as the most aggressive ones in national parks. Thanks for visiting SL. Hope you enjoyed

[@wlog101]

What an adventure! Nice to see you having a great time exploring wild life in SL.

[@talesofodyssey]

It is amazing to see this country and its beautiful wildlife 😁

[@listhunt]

I know right! That was my favourite view we had all day 😍

[@jumatism]

You must be very brave 😊😊 Just like a watching animal planet Tc enjoy

[@talesofodyssey]

Haha quite the compliment! Thank you🙏🏼🍃

[@VikLathia]

Wow great vid girl. I got scared from just watching it so god knows how you must have felt. Must have been a frightening yet amazing experience. I have been on safari in Kenya but the scariest shit that happened was some monkies jumped in our truck and stole our food lol. If an elephant charged at me like that , im not sure I coulda gone and sat near any others that day lol. Your a brave lady. Thank you for another great vid and hope your enjoying your time there 💙🤗😊

[@talesofodyssey]

Wow safari in Kenya? That must have been absolutely amazing though!? And monkeys can be pretty scary to be fair 😂. Luckily we weren't harmed and the elephants were just warning us. 😊

[@VikLathia]

@@talesofodyssey Yeah glad your all safe and sound and what a great experience. Yep I been to Kenya many times. Im from UK but my parents were born and raised in Kenya,Nairobi. Many Indians who live in UK are from Kenya believe it or not lol. We seem to be all over the world lol 😂🤣 Looking forward to your next upload 🤗

[@dhananjayamadushanka3405]

Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka ❤❤🇱🇰

[@priyandias8475]

Elephants in Udawalawa Park are kind of unpredictable if they are in a group. Many safari crews have got attacked in the past. But it's all a part of the fun and excitement. You must always get hold of an experienced driver. They can make a major difference in your tour. Nice vlogging 👍

[@nalin8182]

Nice vlogging. Though elephants charge towards the vehicle they hardly attack. But definitely we human get scared. Sometimes they chase behind moving jeeps .the moment jeep stops elephants do stop .its unbelievable to see how they can stop the chase with speeed so quickly . Udawalawe national park has 600 plus wild elephants. There are many things to explore in this small island paradise. 26 national parks, 126 water falls. Botanical gardens, ancient temples and ruins more than 2000 years old. Sinharaja tropical rain forest, Horton plains. Beautiful sceneries with mountains, blue Wales and dolphin s many more Have a safe and wonderful stay. Love from Srilanka

[@talesofodyssey]

Yeah they are fascinating animals! And yeah they didn't attack just charged (which I am still grateful for). Very curious to see more of Sri Lanka and it's wonders! :)

[@niroshibandara]

We thank you for coming to Sri Lanka and seeing the beauty of our country and spreading it around the world.Go to your country and tell them about our country and tell them to come too. Thank you sooo much.

[@endezeichengrimm]

Arrrr that is thrilling!

[@rasika1003]

Elephants in Wasgamuwa national park and Yala National Park (Weheragala reservoir side) still not much familiar with humans. So, some of them always tend to attack the humans

[@talesofodyssey]

This was in Udawalawe…

[@rasika1003]

Yes. From Udawala park we rarely heard about elephant attacks. But we heard more cases on Wasgamuwa park

[@anuradhaabhayawardhana3860]

This is a very danger experience anyone can experience at Udawalawe. But, very rare though you can tell even 50 years later you had that scariest experience in Sri Lanka. Great Video❤

[@chandimanallaperuma9953]

Hey, Nice one with adventure 😮

[@talesofodyssey]

It was incredible 🐘🤩

[@ogaminiratnayake2830]

Have had some close calls right but they all were welcoming calls from the elephants and I guess that they got animated and elated after seeing you, especially an amiable foreigner like you after a very long time.... 🐘😘❤️ I have been to this place couple of times and I did enjoy it very much and so have been the place called "Elephant transition home" situated close to the parks proximity .. By the way, it is always better be safe than sorry with these pachyderm as they are unpredictable at times and could attack you at the drop of a hat... Glad you gotta away from them swiftly and immediately without facing any troubles or mishaps.. 🙏🙏❤️😘 Kudos to your bravery and thanks for the lovely pachyderm tour... Dear.. Have a safe stay n god bless ya dear.. Hugs.xoxoxo "Gams" ❤️😘🐘

[@talesofodyssey]

Hahaha they were just saying hello 😂. But yeah I mean overall they were very calm and doing their things, the ones that charged thankfully didn't actually attack. I think if they had actually gone for the vehicle we would be in big trouble. So they are smart, just gave us a scare! Thanks so much for watching another vid! See you in the next! 🙏

While working on my youtube channel accidentally I saw your wildlife movie recording from the Uda Walawa National Park. It's interesting and I am appreciating your great effort in filming the wild elephants in their natural habitat. While you are doing this type of work it is very good to use a Monopod or a Tripod for both the equipment safety and your safety. I am very happy to see your deep interest in wildlife in Sri Lanka. Will have Good Contacts. Blessings and Warm Regards.

[@talesofodyssey]

Thanks so much for watching! And thanks for the tips! I have a tripod but unfortunately it broke when I got frightened by the elephant charging… but I am glad you enjoyed the video🤩

[@sumangalarajapakse]

@@talesofodyssey You are always warmly welcome. There are so many other wilderness destinations in the Mahaweli System G area in Sri Lanka where I am actively doing Nature and Wildlife Research works and Wildlife Photography. In the future plan a good visit to this area. There are so many alluring WILDLIFE and ancient glory in this area. I will give my fullest support and corporation to your good self.

It is definitely one of the scariest moments in your life that you don't want to see. A few weeks ago I saw a video of an elephant running after a tuk tuk in Arugambe. I said in that video that sometimes it happens for several reasons. Elephants are usually peaceful animals. Females may, however, be aggressive when young calves are present and bulls can be exceptionally aggressive during musth. All elephants may become aggressive when sick, injured or harassed. Also, I mention in that video that this kind of incident rarely happens in the National Park... Here it is after a few weeks... it happens in the national park... Thank god Rachelle.. you are safe.. It was quite an adventurous safari...

[@talesofodyssey]

Hey Kasun, yes absolutely, elephants are usually very peaceful animals, so good you pointed that out in that and this video. I think these ellies must of had their good reasons, and we were in their habitat.

[@footballhightlightstr]

@@talesofodyssey I agree with that. We are in their territory. ..

great video ! I havent been to this park but if you go to dambulla eco park there are elephants everywhere.

[@dhammikekw7981]

When an elephant is going to charge or unrest could be noted from its tail position. Normally it should hung vertically and tends to wag both ways very gently. When the animal is aggressive you could witness properly. Be mindful in next time.

[@talesofodyssey]

Thanks for the insight! 🙏

years ago, in south india, a bul elephant came charging full speed, starting from quite a distance away, at the front of a bus i was on. despite the driver's reaction of immediately stopping and holding the horn on continuously, i was certain we would be killed. just before the bull would have impacted the front of the bus he veered off to his left.
