    Overnight stay and game drive at udawalawe national park

    We are a returning couple to Sri Lanka and decided beforehand that we wanted to visit udawalawe national Park again I wanted to book the tour before leaving the UK, so messaged three different companies for prices and details, day tour sri lanka was by far the quickest to respond and offered the most competitive price for the tour that I wanted I contacted them using WhatsApp and delt with Yasitha, she was very efficient and replied to my messages very promptly The tour I wanted was an overnight stay in Udawalawe. With a visit to the elephant transit home, an afternoon game drive in the park, overnight accommodation with food included, followed by an early morning game drive, return to the hotel for breakfast before returning back to my holiday hotel. My tour included an English speaking driver, with a comfortable air conditioned car, entry fees to the transit home, entry fees to the park, private safari vehicle and very knowledgeable driver, half board accommodation at Walawa reach hotel, which is a small family run business with two bungalows, swimming pool and a main building serving as reception and restaurant, the accommodation was more than adequate for a one night stay and perfectly located for visiting the park. My drivers name was Rohana, he was very helpful and polite and a very able driver When I arrived in Sri Lanka to start my holiday, Yasitha kept in contact through WhatsApp and also phoned me I would highly recommend this company for tours and would not hesitate to use them again

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much 🙏 sir

    udawalawa One Day Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bentota.

    How much does udawalawa One Day Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $340 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bentota usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does udawalawa One Day Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bentota is not rushed.

    Is udawalawa One Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Bentota, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule udawalawa One Day Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is udawalawa One Day Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book udawalawa One Day Tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bentota can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bentota and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does udawalawa One Day Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bentota within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Bentota?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bentota experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sri Lanka Holiday with Private Driver, 2h Bentota River Safari: Crocodiles, Monkeys, Mangrove & more, Ayurveda Day Package. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Bentota?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Bentota?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +
