"Sri Lanka Attractions -Uda Walawe National Park "
Uda
Walawe lies South of the central hills of the island, and it surrounds the
man made reservoir of Uda Walawe, which is part of the park. It is a mixture
of abandoned teak plantation, scrub jungle & grassland. The dry season
is best to watch the 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, except during the months of June and October.
Uda Walawe is a superb place to watch elephants. An estimated 500 elephants in herds to up to 100 live here. One of the reasons is the elephant-proof fence that surrounds the perimeter of the park, which keeps the elephants in and the cattle (and humans) out
