Minneriya Elephant Gathering Safari
Tour Overview
About This Tour
Every dry season, wild elephants converge on the grassy shores of the Minneriya tank in one of Asia’s great wildlife spectacles. Outside gathering season we route the safari to neighbouring Kaudulla or Hurulu Eco Park depending on where the herds are — our trackers check daily, so you always go where the elephants actually are.

- The famous elephant Gathering (Jul–Oct)
