Kalawewa National Park Elephant & Tusker Safari
Ancient Reservoir & Iconic Tusker Territory
Kalawewa is a remarkable destination for experiencing Sri Lanka’s wild elephants in a natural and open environment. Unlike a traditional jeep safari, this unique elephant experience can offer an opportunity to get down from the safari jeep and walk on foot in designated safe areas, allowing you to enjoy a more immersive wildlife-watching and photography experience.
Kalawewa is well known for its beautiful reservoir and the large numbers of Sri Lankan wild elephants that gather around the water and surrounding grasslands. Depending on the season, visitors may encounter family herds, mothers with calves, young elephants, and magnificent adult bulls.
Walking on foot can provide a different perspective for elephant photography and observation, allowing you to quietly experience the surrounding wilderness rather than viewing everything from inside a vehicle.
With an experienced local wildlife guide, the experience is focused on responsible elephant watching, photography, and understanding natural elephant behaviour while maintaining a safe distance.
Experience Kalawewa like never before step out of the jeep, walk through the wilderness, and discover Sri Lanka’s magnificent wild elephants.
