The Safari Experience: Elephants and More
As we ventured into the park, the couple was thrilled to see herds of wild elephants roaming freely. Kaudulla is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to see elephants, and we were fortunate to witness groups of them grazing peacefully by the water. The sight of these majestic creatures up close left the couple in awe, as they captured every moment with their cameras.
Apart from elephants, Kaudulla National Park is home to a variety of other wildlife, including water buffaloes, sambhar deer, and an array of colorful bird species. Our guide expertly navigated the park, taking us to the most wildlife-rich areas, where we could observe the animals in their natural surroundings without disturbing them.
One of the most exciting moments was when we spotted a crocodile basking on the riverbanks, as well as a group of monkeys swinging from trees overhead. The couple was also able to capture some stunning photos of the park's vibrant birdlife, including herons and kingfishers.
