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.

It was an amazing private tour and we were picked up in our hotel. We got to see many elephants in the park and our guide did his best to find alternative spots and routes to give us a private view of the wildlife. Highly recommend!

This was absolutely fantastic, a highlight of our trip, all thanks to our driver! There was about 200 jeeps all driving around in a convoy and vying for a 5 second look at the elephants. This not only scared the elephants away but is not the experience you are hoping for on safari. Our driver did his best to keep away from the convoys of Jeeps and seek out quiet spots to see the elephants. This resulted in some amazing, magical experiences where it was just us and elephants not more than 6 feet away. This would have been a totally different and likely disappointing experience had we been in the pack of jeeps jostling to see an elephant. Instead this was a sure highlight of our trip and something we will never forget!
