An unforgettable safari experience! - Highly recommended! We were contacted the day before and asked if we wanted to change our tour to a more convenient time – we were surprised at first, but the next day we realized why: Our driver Kumara knew exactly when and where the best opportunity to see elephants was. Thanks to his years of experience, he could anticipate early on where the herd would move next. We were particularly impressed by his respectful way of dealing with the animals. Instead of disturbing or harassing them, he left them the space to approach us naturally. The result: We were able to observe 13 elephants at the same time – a breathtaking and unique experience that we will never forget! If you want to experience a safari with real respect for the animals and nature, this is the place for you. Thank you for this unforgettable adventure!

Interesting and memorable - Seeing elephants Minneriya National Park, located in Sri Lanka's North Central Province, is renowned for its majestic elephant population. The park's highlight is the "Minneriya Elephant Gathering," a spectacular wildlife event where hundreds of wild Asian elephants congregate near the Minneriya reservoir during the dry season (July to October). This natural phenomenon, driven by the elephants' search for water and lush grass, offers visitors a rare opportunity to observe these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Minneriya's rich biodiversity and scenic landscapes make it a must-visit destination for wildlife enthusiasts.
