Known for its exotic wildlife, Sri Lanka is most associated with the elephant which roams freely in several of the island’s national parks which are ideal places for an exciting safari. Nature lovers planning a holiday in Sri Lanka should definitely look to visit one of these parks. Sri Lanka Holiday Travel offers a number of Sri Lanka tour packages including one that takes you to national parks where one can embark on a safari.
Elephant safaris in Sri Lanka not only let you observe these gentle giants, but also afford an opportunity to see them interact with each other in their natural habitat. One of the foremost places for such an outing is the Minneriya National Park where every year between July and October one can witness what is known as “The Gathering” where one can see herds of more than 300 elephants at the Minneriya water tank. Another site well known for elephant safaris is the Udawalawe National Park, while not to be missed is a safari at the Yala National Park where apart from elephants one has the chance to spot leopards too.
