The biggest concentration of wild Asian elephants in the entire world may be found in Sri Lanka’s Minneriya National Park, which is home to a wide variety of species. Nearly 31,000 hectares make up Minneriya National Park.

Nearly 170 bird species and other animals are also found in the area. Jeep safaris are a popular way for visitors to go through the park, increasing their chances of seeing park animals in their natural habitat at twilight.

There are a few parks instead of the Minneriya national park ( Hurulu eco park, Kaudulla national park) and we will guide you to find the best park to see elephants according to the weather conditions.

What To Expect

Minneriya National Park

What is the special about Minneriya National Park? Minneriya National Park | The Ancient Cities, Sri Lanka ... Dominated by the ancient Minneriya Wewa, the park has plenty of scrub, forest and wetlands in its 88.9 sq km to also provide shelter for toque macaques, sambar deer, buffalo, crocodiles and leopards (the latter are very rarely seen, however). There are rarer animals for groups to spot in the park, such as the Sri Lankan leopard and Sri Lankan sloth bear, however both are elusive and more difficult to see. Conditions in the park provide a well-suited habitat for up to 160 bird species, including water birds such as pelicans, storks and herons.

A perfect experience! We went on the safari with our 6-month-old baby and our driver drove in such a way that it wasn't too complicated for her. All three of us had a wonderful time 😊! Thank you
Great experience

Had a great time at Eco park with Sudath. He arrived on time and kept in contact leading up to the pick up. Got very close to lots of elephants including a relatively newborn one with its mother.
Great elephant experience

Our driver was able to take us to a quiet area in which we were able to get very close to a family of elephants. He was punctual and very friendly. Lovely to see elephants in their habitat.
Great experience!

Originally we booked to go to minneriya but asked if we could go to eco park instead as this was known to have more elephants at the time, and the driver was happy to take us there instead. The driver was great at pointing out all of the different animals on the safari, such as elephants, peacocks and different birds. An extra treat was he stopped and got us a king coconut on the way home! One of our favourite activities we have done on this trip. One thing to note is entry to the national park isn’t included in this price so make sure to have cash to pay on arrival. We paid 5000SLR for 2 people.
Great.

Book safari with company as private tour. Fortunately it was the first decent day after the cyclone so had a really good tour around the Hurulu Eco Park. Saw a couple of groups of water buffalo and several lone male elephants and two family groups. Good tour guide who really worked to give us good views and didn’t speed around the site like some of the other tours. Also used the same company for two half day trips to the Dambulla Cave Temple, Sirguri Rock but unfortunately some of the sites were closed due to the effects of the cyclone. Couldn’t be helped.
Amazing

Excellent jeep safri experience in Kaudulla National Park,with amazing spots to see elephants troupes and wild birds. Sudath was so kind and funny, and the most important is his instinct to cach animals once on the trees... he stop on the spot and give all needed information with extra sense of humour.... I strongly recommend him for any jeep safari in Srilanka
