Elephant Safari in Minneriya National Park

About this activity

Witness "The Gathering," one of the world's greatest wildlife spectacles, where hundreds of wild Asian elephants congregate around a prehistoric reservoir during the dry season.

Minneriya is famous for the "Elephant Gathering" that occurs between June and October. As water sources elsewhere dry up, hundreds of elephants migrate to the lush grasslands surrounding the Minneriya Tank. It is not uncommon to see groups of 100 to 200 elephants of all ages, including many calves, socializing and bathing in the water. This is considered the largest meeting of Asian elephants in the world. A jeep safari during this time offers a unique opportunity to observe complex social behaviors among these majestic animals in a completely natural setting.
