What to Expect

Begin your journey from Kandy with a scenic drive through Sri Lanka’s hill country before arriving at Minneriya National Park. This park is world-renowned for the annual Elephant Gathering, where hundreds of elephants congregate around the Minneriya Tank (July–September).

Even outside of the gathering season, the park teems with wildlife — spotted deer, langurs, macaques, crocodiles, and vibrant bird species. Your private 4x4 safari jeep with an expert tracker ensures you won’t miss the best sightings.

After the safari, relax on your return drive to Kandy, with memories of Sri Lanka’s wild giants etched into your day.
