Is Christmas busy in Udawalawe?

Christmas week is one of the busiest times of the year in Udawalawe. Visitors come in large numbers, including tourists from abroad and people from nearby towns.

To get a good safari plan, book early. Morning slots can fill up fast. It helps to reserve a room in a nearby guesthouse months ahead.

During the holiday rush, many jeeps move to the same elephant-viewing areas. That can cause traffic on the roads. Stay calm. Use a driver who is experienced and who can take less busy routes.
