udwalawa jeep safari and sinharaja rain forest

Udawalawa lies south of the central hills of the island, and it surround the manmade reservoir of Udawalawa, which is part of the park. It is a mixture of abandoned teak plantation, scrub jungle & grassland. The dry season is best to watch many herds of elephant that roam the park; which is usually between May & September. Almost the entire park is covered with tall, reedy Pohon grass, which grows all year round. Udawalawe is a superb place to watch elephants. An estimated 450 elephants live here.
Sinharaja presents the characteristic features of a tropical rain forest. The only considerable patch of rain forest in the island. The forest is south of Ratnapura and may be approached by motoring from Ratnapura past Kalawana. Around 90 square miles in area it extends from less than 300 ft. above sea level to 3838 ft. at the summit of mount Rupahin Kanda. The climate is equable with some rain at all seasons. Most endemic birds and plants could be seen at Sinharaja.
The ornithologists will find a visit to the logging area of the Sinharaja Forest worthwhile, for here one could expect to see some of the rarest species of Sri Lankan birds such as Red Faced Malkoha, White Headed Starlings, Trogans, Indian Grey Drongo, Grey Tits, Ceylon Lorikeet, Crested Drongo, Azure Flycatcher, Back Bulbul, Black Eagle, Emerald Collard and Three Toed Kingfisher among others, animal life is abundant here. The Black su-species of the purple faced monkey is common. Lots of bats are found here, including the grotesque Megadirima Spasma Ceylonence. The other animals found here is the Wild Pig, Sambur, Elephants, the palm Civet Cat - the Leopard.

  • Amazing !

    What can I say which hasn't been said so far? Anyone planning a trip to Sri Lanka needs to contact this company. We arranged 3 day trips through Select Sri Lanka with the customer service being second to none. At each and every stage, we were provided with plenty of information and prices that were reasonable. We also found them to be the cheapest company to pick up and drop off at the airport. Our driver was Kasan and was an absolute pleasure. We done the Galle day tour, Kandy tour and safari trip and each trip was well worth it...

  • For animal lovers

    A big thank you to Select Sri Lanka Tours a local agency (Kalatura) very serious. From France, we organized our stay and we spent holidays merveilleuses. Tour thanks to Mr Gayan that meets all our mails. Less prices are reasonable and the drivers are always on time, helpful, friendly and good drivers .It misses the French spoken! For those who love animals, we recommend Yala National Park where we had the chance to see the cheetahs or take the tour of the orphanage elephants in Kandy...

  • Best trip

    My new husband and me visited Sri Lanka as the first stop of our honeymoon. We had pre booked 2x trips with select Sri Lanka when back home through emails and text messages and Gayan was so helpful in organising exactly what we wanted. He messaged us all the way and even on the night before the trips and after the trips with all details. Our trips were private, only me and my husband in the lovely car that was air conditioned and driven by Kasun who was amazing at driving through the crazy traffic ( once you are there you will know what I mean) kasun took us to Galle ...<

  • First Class Service

    I contacted Gayan at Select Sri Lanka after reading the fantastic reviews he had been receiving on Trip Advisor and I have to say they are worthy of each review as the service we received was first class. I enquired about one trip (Kandy Tour Highlights) before we left to travel to Sri Lanka and Gayan responded straight away with all the information on the trip, what was included what we would be visiting so we went ahead and made the booking. Once we arrived in Sri Lanka we booked another trip (Galle)...

  • Cannot fault

    We booked with Gayan and select for a 2 day safari with overnight hotel. We are a family with 2 teenage daughters and wanted to make the most of our visit to Sri Lanka. The safari was a highlight of the holiday we got to see elephants in their natural surroundings along with a host of many other animals.The guides are fantastic and were great company as well as informative. If you visit sri lanka then you must take a safari.We had no problems with select they kept us up to date on pick up times and any other relevant information needed. Everything was so well planned with no hassle...

  • If calsberg did tour guides

    Don't bother with any other Sri Lankan tour company....these are the best, can't recommend them enough.
    A few months before we went to Sri Lanka I got in touch via email wih Gayan at Sri select tours, over the next few months we discussed which were the best tours to do to maximise our time in Sri Lanka. There was regular contact right up to the day before we travelled, which was great reassurance as even though we were looking forward to visiting Sri Lanka we were a bit apprehensive.Upon arrival at Sri Lanka all my worry totally disappeared.....wow what an amazing country. We were in contact all the time with Gayan through whatsapp whose customer service was second to none...
