Overview
Minneriya National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s top wildlife destinations. It's famous for “The Gathering,” where hundreds of elephants come together by the ancient reservoir.
Begin your safari in an open jeep as you drive through dry forests, grasslands, and muddy waterholes. Keep your eyes open for elephants, spotted deer, monkeys, crocodiles, and even the elusive leopard.
Bird lovers will also find paradise here. The park is home to painted storks, pelicans, eagles, and colorful kingfishers.
The highlight? Watching wild elephants bathe, play, and feed in their natural habitat — a sight you’ll never forget.
Whether you're a nature lover, photographer, or first-time visitor, Minneriya National Park offers a raw, wild experience that connects you with the untamed heart of Sri Lanka.
