Rambo
I am the iconic Rambo of the Udawalawe National Park — the elephant you may have fed through the fence along the Udawalawe–Thanamalwila road.
I have been featured in Mass media, including TV, Newspapers and many social media platforms, many different times!!!


Probably the most co-existing elephant with people in the world!!!
For over three decades, since the early 1990s, I stood by that electric fence, meeting thousands of visitors who offered me fruits, smiles, and stories of their own. I became a legend there — a gentle giant living on the boundary between the wild and the human world.
And believe me, I have an EPIC story to tell — one filled with curiosity, danger, friendship, and the lessons of a lifetime spent at the edge of two worlds.
Come find me, meet me in person or online, and hear my story …
Come before it’s too late.
