Ahangama on rannikulinn Sri Lanka lõunaosas, mis on tuntud oma rahulike randade ja elava surfikultuuri poolest. Selle maalilised maastikud, palmidega ääristatud kaldad ja traditsiooniline vaiadega kalapüük loovad ainulaadse võlu. Reisijaid köidab Ahangama pingevaba õhkkond, mis teeb sellest populaarse sihtkoha lõõgastumiseks ja veespordi harrastamiseks.
See kahe tunni pikkune seiklus annab sulle suurepärase võimaluse saada selge ülevaade mereelustikust, mis elab madalates vetes Unawatuna ranna lähedal. Külalistele, kes broneerivad Ahangamast, korraldatakse transport Unawatunasse.
Alustad oma snorgeldamistuuriga Unawatuna sukeldumiskeskusest kell 8:00 hommikul. Teised ajad on võimalikud, kuid päeva hiljem langeb merepõhja nähtavus. Lisaks peidavad paljud mereelanikud end varjulistesse lõhedesse, kuhu päikese tõusul neid ei näe.
Snorgeldamine on sport, kus ujuda sukeldumismaski ja snorgeltoruga. Tihti kasutatakse ka uime jalgadel. Snorgeltoru võimaldab ujul pikka aega vee all hingata. Seda spordiala kasutatakse muu hulgas ookeanipõhja ja värvika mereelu vaatlemiseks.
Snorgeldades Unawatunas näed palju kauneid vaateid, nagu värvikad ja säravad elus korallid, suured hõbe-sinised väikeste kalade koolid, vahtiv hermiidkrabi, kaunid lilletaolised anemoonid, mis peidavad endas ohtu, julged klounkalad, mis ujuvad anemoonide vahel kartmatult, ja palju muud. Kui võtad kaasa veealuse kaamera, saad teha ka suurepäraseid fotosid.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Udawalawe National Park?
Udawalawe National Park lies in southern Sri Lanka, on the boundary of the Sabaragamuwa and Uva Provinces, around the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River. From Ahangama on the south coast it is roughly a 2.5 to 3 hour drive, about 110 km each way.
Is transport from Ahangama included?
Yes. Return private road transport between Ahangama and Udawalawe National Park is included in every option, along with your safari jeep at the park.
What animals will I see on the safari?
Udawalawe is one of the best places in Asia to see wild Asian elephants, with herds visible throughout the year. You may also spot water buffalo, spotted deer, sambar, crocodiles, wild boar, jackal, mongoose, peacocks and a wealth of birds and raptors; leopards are present but rarely seen.
When is the best time to visit Udawalawe?
Elephants can be seen at Udawalawe all year round, which makes it one of Sri Lanka's most reliable safari parks. The drier months from May to September offer easier game viewing, while early morning and late afternoon are the most active and comfortable times for a safari.
How long does the trip take?
This is a full-day trip from Ahangama. Allow around 2.5 to 3 hours of driving each way, with the jeep safari inside the park lasting roughly 3 to 4 hours depending on the option you choose.
Is the safari private?
Yes. You travel from Ahangama in a private vehicle and explore the park in your own safari jeep with an experienced driver-tracker, so you set the pace and get the best positions for viewing and photographing wildlife. The vehicle scales with your group size, from a car up to a larger van.
Are park entrance tickets included?
It depends on the option you choose. Select a "with park tickets" option to include the national-park entrance and service fees in your booking, or a "no park tickets" option if you prefer to settle the park fees separately at the entrance.
What should I bring?
Bring a hat, sunscreen, drinking water, a camera or binoculars, and light, neutral-coloured clothing. Mornings and late afternoons can be breezy in an open jeep, so a light layer is handy.
