Visiting Udawalawe Elephant Orphanage during Udawalawe day
tour – The Elephant Transit Home owned by the Department of Wild Life
Conservation (DWLC) was established on October 6, 1995 at the Udawalawe
National Park. 24th of September 2003 the elephant transit home opened,
completely funded by the Born Free Federation of UK, who also funds
post-release studies run by the University of Colombo, monitoring the orphans
with the help of radio collars once they have been returned to the wild. The
difference between Ath Athuru Sevena and the Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala is
that at the Transit Home these baby elephants once cared for are released to
the wilds when they reach a certain age.
