Unmissable! Discover The Breathtaking Udawalawe National Park In Sri Lanka!

Udawalawe National Park Sri Lanka is a must do. 76000 acres in total, with wildlife everywhere. Elephants, Deer, Water Buffalo, Birds and Crocodiles.
Nothing beats seeing Elephants in the wild, in their natural habitat. We were lucky enough to have encounters with herds of elephant grazing and bathing in the wild!

So I cried the whole time, just like Gran🤣. Amazing vlog!!!!!!. To be so close to herds of elephants....😯😯😯. I was surprised it was just u both and Leel ( total sweetheart, by the way). I'd imagined it would be a group tour like u see in big parks in Kenya. Guess it was arranged thru u accommodation? How much was the day tour?. I wasn't grossed out by the crock eating the water buffalo...like you said Matty, the circle of life. Definitely added this to my bucket list. Just wow!!!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

Thanks Aunty Sue! It was an incredible day. You can book private tours which is what we did but I think everyone in the park that day had a private tour. Such is travel at the moment. I think we paid $170 for the private tour! So cheap for a full day exploring the park and having all of those encounters 😊

@@ACoupleOfKiwis Thank you very much for your reply. We may need some rugby coaches from New Zealand to help train our Sri Lankan national rugby team. I like your All Blacks very much. I have been watching them for years. All the Best!

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

@@varunagoonasekera7329 is Rugby a growing sport in SL?

[@varunagoonasekera7329]

@@ACoupleOfKiwis Rugby has already grown in Sri Lanka. It's like a national sport. There are many high school teams and clubs where young men play. But the national team doesn't do well I believe because the team do not have sufficient coaching. Sri Lanka rugby team needs qualified coaching personnel from a country like New Zealand. Did you not see people playing rugby in school grounds when you were there in Sri Lanka?

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

@@varunagoonasekera7329 thats awesome to hear! We saw rugby fields but no one playing. Our driver told us Rugby was big in Kandy though 😊

[@mariolucaskarting]

Hi guys, thanks for this helpfull video!! Congratulations. My wife and i are planning our Safari in Udawalawa ant he hotel gave us different options (3, 6 & 12 hours tour). Please, could you please recommend us the best option based in you experience there? Thx again

[@ACoupleOfKiwis]

Hi guys. We don't think 3 hours would be enough. 6 or 12 would be the best. We did the 12 hour and the last few hours of the day were tiring as we were lucky enough to have seen a lot in the first part of the day
