Is an Udawalawe safari dusty?

ByUdawalawe Safari Specialist

An Udawalawe safari can feel pretty dusty, especially if you go during the peak dry season between June and September. As several jeeps roll along those arid dirt routes, they end up raising thick layers of fine red dust, and it gets everywhere.

  • By the end of a 3-hour game drive, you are likely to be covered in dust, almost as if a thin coating has settled on you.
  • Bring a scarf, a buff, or even a mask so you can cover your nose and mouth.
  • Use sunglasses to help protect your eyes.
  • Also, keep your pricier camera lenses covered when the jeep is moving.
