When to Visit

Follow the Elephants

Elephants move between parks with the seasons. We track the herds so you don't waste a safari looking in the wrong place.

Jul – Sep

Minneriya National Park

"The Gathering" — the peak season, when herds converge on the receding reservoir shoreline in numbers unmatched anywhere in Asia.

150 – 300 elephants
Sep – Nov

Kaudulla National Park

As the Minneriya tank refills with the rains, herds shift east to Kaudulla's ancient reservoir in search of grazing.

Elephants migrate with the rains
