Famous for “The Gathering,” the largest meeting of Asian elephants in the world. During the dry season, hundreds of wild elephants congregate around the Minneriya tank.

Experience authentic Sri Lankan village life. This tour usually includes a traditional bullock cart ride, a peaceful canoe ride on a lotus-filled lake, and a traditional cooking demonstration.

Located right next to Minneriya, Kaudulla is another fantastic park for spotting massive elephant herds, especially when the elephants migrate between the parks.

A biosphere reserve that acts as a crucial elephant corridor. When the water levels are high in Minneriya and Kaudulla, the elephants move here, making it a reliable year-round safari spot.
