“Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort stands right where the jungle begins, and that proximity informs the entire experience. The staff clearly take pride in their service, and the spacious rooms are a welcome retreat after a day in the park. I think it's a particularly good choice for anyone focused on Udawalawe National Park and the elephant transit home; you couldn't ask for a more convenient base.”
