Mahoora Safari Camp has a stunning location on the edge of a watering hole in Sri Lanka’s Uda Walawe national park and beside a huge granite rock. You’ll almost certainly hear elephants from the camp and on the odd occasion you’ll see them at the water’s edge.
The naturalists or wildlife guides are extremely passionate and well-educated about their subjects. During the 40-minute drive from the camp to the park gate, they will keep you enthralled with their endless knowledge about the park, its ecosystem and the impact of various policy changes.
Safari of course! Actually, the early morning cup of tea sitting in the safari vehicle watching the elephants slowly emerge out of the bush.
Take a head torch and some mozzie spray – you may not need either but it’s better to be prepared
