|Jeep safari in the national park
Minneriya National Park
Elephants live by migrating between Minneriya National Park, Kaudulla National Park and Eco Park, moving to the lake when there is little rain and to the forest when there is a lot of rain. In August to September, when there is a lot of rain, the lake in Minneriya National Park is low in water, soa large herd of elephantsgather there. If you are lucky, you can see more than 50 elephants,this a popular national park.
Yala National park
A national park where elephants, leopards, peacocks and other rare wild birdsare likely to appear
from January to June
|Elephant riding experience!
Let’s ride an elephant
Sri Lanka is renowned for its elephants, offering a range of attractions like the iconic “Perahera” festival, elephant orphanages, and safaris. Why not take an elephant ride for a unique experience? Sri Lankan elephants are smaller and gentler than African elephants. When you ride on one and offer it some Sri Lankan sugarcane by hand, it’s sure to put the elephant in a cheerful mood.
