Bunches of Elephants can be seen in their natural behavior and visitors will be amazed to see hundreds in bunch. You will be transferred by a off-road/ 4WD jeep which is specially designed for outdoor activities like this. Out chauffeurs speak good English and equipped with good local knowledge. You will not regret about the decision after completing the tour. There are two National Parks located within close proximity. They are Minneriya & Kaudulla National Park. Normally the Elephants are switching between two parks during the different months of the year depending on the rain situation and the level of the water of the lakes inside the parks. We will advise the guests about the best location to witness the Elephants on the particular time period and proceed to the relevant park with guest's approval.
