Safari
Excellent organisation by Roshan and the driver, Kumara to the reserve. Local team took us around on safari jeeps - very knowledgeable. Great day. Finished with curry back at the restaurant. Highly recommended
via Tripadvisor
Wonderful
We had a fantastic experience. Our driver to the park and our guide inside the park were both amazing. We saw tons of elephants, as well as water buffalo, crocodiles, jackal, mongoose, peacock, eagle, and many other birds. Highly recommend!

Wildlife!
Great day! Lots of elephants, buffalo, jackals, a variety of birds and mongooses! Highly recommended if you enjoy seeing wildlife not in cages.

Didn’t see one elephant, we saw loads!
Brilliant tour! We had an excellent time and everything ran so smoothly. We saw plenty of elephants in their natural habitat doing their thing along with all sorts of jungle creatures. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgable and kind, with a great eye for wildlife. Lunch was delicious. Overall, it was extremely fun, we recommend it hugely

Amazing time in Udawalawe National Park
We had a fantastic time with Roshan, Yoma Safari and their team. Everything was easy and we really loved how they made us feel from the moment he picked us up. We were under a bit of time pressure and he made sure that there was no stress. Everything was well organised and we felt really looked after. The Udawalawe National Park was great, we saw the elephants in their natural environment, loads of birds, monkeys and baby crocodiles. We could not have had a better time!!! I would highly recommend Roshan, his company and Yoma to make sure that you have a great time in Sri Lanka. We were on a cruise and they really gave us a fantastic introduction to their beautiful country ❤️❤️ We will back 😍
Response from the operator: Thank you

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galle.
How much does Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Galle is not rushed.
Is Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including?
+
Around 21 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 Galle 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 Galle and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Udawalawe Safari Tour - Hotel Pick-up and Transfers Including 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 Galle 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 Galle?
+
On Outty we rank every Galle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full day / Half Day WildlifeAdventure in Yala-National-Park, Special leopard & Elephants safari - Yala - 04.30 am to 11.30 am, Sea waves sri lankan cooking class. 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 Galle?
+
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 Galle?
+
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.
