The Great Elephant Gathering Private Safari from Minneriya
A spectacular seasonal wildlife event that takes place at the Minneriya National Park every year, “The Great Elephant Gathering” should be added to your bucket list when visiting Sri Lanka. This is known to be the largest gathering of wild Asian elephants in the world. This natural phenomenon which attracts many wild life enthusiasts takes place during the dry season which spans from July to October where you will witness a massive congregation of gentle giants - well over 200 or more steadily making their way to the Minneriya Tank to quench their thirst, feed and bathe in this all natural abundance.
This event is not a mere sighting of small herds of elephants migrating from one park to another. The dry season at its peak depletes all other water sources in the surrounding parks and jungles which forces all elephants to migrate in search of water and food sources. The Minneriya Tank which is a large reservoir located within the protected boundaries of the National Park becomes a very important lifeline for these elephants who gather in massive numbers.
We offer you the convenience of booking your safari jeep online to witness this magnificent event while you can make the booking with the addition of the entrance ticket to the park which allows you to skip long queues, especially during the Gathering Season.
