The morning safari in Kalawewa National Park begins at dawn, offering a peaceful start to the day as wildlife becomes active in the cooler hours. Elephants are often seen around the grasslands and near the reservoirs, with herds coming to the water to drink and bathe. Birdwatchers will appreciate the early morning sightings of species such as grey-headed fish eagles, painted storks, and the endemic Sri Lanka junglefowl. The cooler morning light enhances the scenic beauty of the park’s surroundings, making it an ideal time for photography. The safari typically wraps up by mid-morning, offering a rewarding experience to start the day.
