Safari trip to Udawalawa

Recently I and some friends went on a safari trip to southern part of Sri Lanka. It was a marvelous journey which took around three whole days and we managed sneak through beautiful jungles in Ceylon. On the first day we went to Udawalawa National Park where large numbers of Sri Lankan elephants inhibit. We had 75 elephant sights and most of the time they were in a herd of about 10-15 elephants. We could hire a safari jeep from the entrance and it costs us 2500LKR for the ride which lasted about 2hours. We started at around 10.30pm in the morning and at that time most of the elephants are on the move to their feeding places. There were two very little cute infant elephants and according to our Guide Mr.Siripala from Wild life authority they were about 3 days old. They were guarded by elder female elephants in the herd and also their mother elephants. The herd was very alert on the visitors and elephants in the herd were trying to put the baby elephants in the middle of them so visitors like us could not hurt them.
