Waraka Udawalawe, Sri Lanka
Waraka is an intimate hotel tucked away on the banks of a tranquil river and just 15 minutes drive from the entrance to Udawalawe National Park. Udawalawe is much quieter than Yala National Park, and you would be missing out if you didn’t go on a jeep safari during your stay at Waraka. Look out for elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, spotted deer and crocodiles, to name just a few! The hotel is surrounded by nature, and guests can head out on a guided walk or bicycle tour to a nearby village or take a kayak out on the river. Alternatively, you may just wish to spend some time lounging by the pool or on the riverside deck.
