Elephant Safari

Hi friends

Last week I got a chance to visit an elephant safari with my friends.Sri Lanka has a density of Asian elephants that is 10 times that of any other country. Sri Lanka is home to 10% of the world's Asia elephant population, providing exceptional possibilities to see Asian elephants in the wild. Due to habitat destruction and human-elephant conflict, this charismatic species is losing ground. Elephants have become a cultural icon in Sri Lanka, yet they are restricted to the country's dry zone. In the Adam's Peak area, a tiny herd of elephants lives, and these are the last forest-dwelling elephants in Sri Lanka's wet zone.

Male elephants with tusks are relatively uncommon in Sri Lanka, accounting for less than 7% of the island's male elephants.

Elephants have gathered in a variety of arid zone places where there is ample water and forage. One of the best wildlife shows in Sri Lanka is a large gathering of elephants in the Minneriya. From August to mid-October, 200-300 elephants congregate in the wide grassy plains of the Minneriya Reservoir for grazing and social activities during the peak dry season. Yala, Udawalawe, Kaudulla, Kalawewa, Hurulu, and Wasgomuwa National Parks, in addition to Minneriya, are the greatest places to see these magnificent giants.
