Overview
Founded in 1995, the Elephant Transit Home is a haven for orphaned or injured elephant calves who are rehabilitated back to full health before being returned to the wild. Great lengths are taken to minimise contact between the baby elephants, their caregivers, and visitors but you can enjoy watching them stamp their feet impatiently as they wait for their food and relish in the fact that once old enough to survive alone, they will be free to roam the national park once more. After a delicious lunch in a local restaurant, hop into your private jeep and get ready to explore the Udawalawe National Park, a sanctuary for wild animals displaced by the construction of the nearby Udawalawe Reservoir. Have your camera at hand as you spot herds of these majestic creatures feeding, playing, and bathing in waterholes as well as an abundance of other mammals, reptiles, and birds.
