    Minneriya National Park is a wildlife sanctuary located in Sri Lanka, famous for its large population of Asian elephants. A half-day safari in this park offers visitors the opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, as well as a variety of other wildlife such as Leopard, deer, buffalo, monkeys, and various species of birds. The safari typically lasts for about 4 hours, with experienced guides taking visitors on a thrilling ride through the park's rugged terrain in 4x4 vehicles. The park is especially popular during the dry season when elephants gather around the park's central reservoir, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers. The Minneriya Elephant Gathering is a spectacular display of wildlife and a testament to the importance of preserving natural habitats for these magnificent creatures. It's an experience that should not be missed by anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

Die Safari im Nationalpark war faszinierend! Wir haben sehr viele Elefanten, Wasservögel und Wasserbüffel gesehen - unser Guide war sehr bemüht, die richtigen Spots zu finden, um uns ein hautnahes Beobachten der Tiere zu ermöglichen. Wir hätten uns etwas mehr Informationen zu den Tieren während der Safari gewünscht, aber ansonsten können wir den Anbieten nur weiterempfehlen :)

Beautiful place and beautiful animals somewhat spoilt by the sheer number of safari vehicles surrounding the elephants, spewing out pollution and noise. Felt terrible as a tourist being part of the problem. Would think twice before doing this again.

This was one of the first experiences we booked once we planned our honeymoon to Sri Lanka and it was so worth it. We had a bright and early start meeting our driver Kumara at our hotel at 5:30am to ensure we got to the park as it was opening. On the drive up Kumara stopped by a lake and unsure what he was doing at first he went into the lake and came back with two local flowers and gifted them to us. Upon entering the park it wasn’t long before Kumara starting to point out different wildlife. We saw multiple species of eagle, water buffalo, many birds, a mongoose, golden jackals and without a shadow of a doubt the star of the safari the Asian elephant. We were about an hour into our time in the park and Kumara was taking his time to suss out where the elephants were. He then spotted one in the distance by the lake so we headed over and within the next 30 minutes more came out from the bushes included a number of calves with their mums. The whole experience was incredible from start to finish. Kumara was funny, extremely knowledgable about the park and wildlife and also really patient and caring for the animals as he moved on once too many vehicles came so it didn’t disturb the elephants. Although we had plenty of time to see them in their natural habitat. Would do this experience again and again!
