Around 2 pm, you will leave the hotel for a safari at Minneriya or Kaudulla National Park to see wild elephants in their natural habitat.

During the dry season, large numbers of Sri Lankan elephants are attracted to the grass fields on the edges of the reservoir. The Minneriya tank supports a large herd, with numbers ranging from 150–200, and some reports suggest as many as 700 elephants.

These elephants migrate from Wasgamuwa National Park and benefit from the food and shelter provided by the park’s forest. Tourists visit Minneriya mainly to see the elephants, especially during the dry season.
