Spot Wildlife on Safari


Want to see elephants in the wild? You're unlikely to find a better country in the world to do so than Sri Lanka! 
Uda Walawe National Park is the most popular place. However, Minneriya National Park is home to one of Asia's greatest wildlife spectacles, known as "The Gathering". More than 200 elephants gather in one spot there during August and September each year!

If you're a wildlife enthusiast, you'll also enjoy leopard spotting on safari at Yala National Park. A more difficult to reach but less crowded alternative (without the hundreds of jeeps) that's known for its leopards is Kumana National Park. It has elephants and plenty of birds too. In addition, avid birders definitely shouldn't overlook Bundala National Park.
