Who made this guide

Wild Ceylon, a safari company in Sri Lanka, made this guide. It runs jeep safaris in Udawalawe and other parks. It isn't part of the Transit Home, or of the people who run it.

How this guide checks its facts

  • The feeding times were checked on 21 October 2026. They come from a phone call to the Transit Home. They match a photo of the sign at its entrance, from 7 October 2026.
  • Transit Home prices are as of October 2026. National park prices are as of November 2026.
  • Numbers about the calves come from news reports and research. Each one shows its date.
  • Distances and drive times come from map routes. They are rough times, with no stops.
  • The safari company's terms, and the facts about its safaris, were checked on its own website in November 2026.
