Overview
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 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.
