Witnessing the sheer number of elephants was nothing short of breathtaking; it felt surreal to see Asia’s largest gathering in their natural habitat. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but we wished for a bit more time to explore the park’s other wildlife.

Experiencing the gathering of elephants at Minneriya National Park was a mesmerizing highlight of my time in Habarana; the sight of these majestic creatures roaming freely in their natural habitat left me in awe. The safari vehicle was comfortable, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the stunning landscapes and wildlife that surrounded me. My only suggestion would be to ensure that the guides share a bit more about the park’s ecosystem during the ride, as I found myself craving deeper insights into this incredible environment.

We loved our time exploring the national park, especially when we spotted a herd of elephants splashing in the water; it felt like a scene straight out of a documentary. One small suggestion would be to have a bit more guidance on the best spots to see wildlife, but overall, it was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon in Habarana.
