  • In this video, we go on a safari in Udawalawe National Park to spot elephants in the wild. We also visit Mrissa, and the famous Coconut Tree Hill, sample all sorts of Sri Lankan food at Dhana’s Curry Pot, and watch baby elephants drink milk and eat dinner at the Elephant Transit Home.

    We are heading to Sri Lanka with our 4 kids in august. This video made me dream a little. It will also be nice to make blogs about something else then Belgium and other European places 🙂. Want to see more, so I subscribed!

      You will love it! Sri Lanka is paradise for kids! We'll be posting more soon, but definitely do the train journey from Kandy to Ella, and spend some time at the amazing beaches. We'll have a video towards the end of our Sri Lanka series about the Unawatuna area (where we were based) and our favorite beaches nearby. Thanks for subscribing!

    Wait was Pete right? Did you see the elephant at 8:00 AM? I needed a time stamp. Great video!!!

      Ah, good question. He definitely won…maybe not the exact time but certainly the closest.

    Be sure to visit other parks too. Yala, Wilpattu, Mineriya, Wasgamuwa. Be sure to ask at least 3 independent jeep drivers for prices before booking. They are greedy and could overcharge if they sense you have deep pockets. Better yet, send a guy from the hotel to arrange an independent jeep driver. A problem we locals have too, unfortunately.
