Minneriya National Park Elephant Safari

By February 27, 2018 Sri Lanka No Comments

Four 4×4 jeeps of #srilankrew travelled to Minneriya National Park which is close to Polonnaruwa. This small but convenient wildlife park of 90 sq kms consists of a lake which attracts herds of up to 150 elephants. A jeep safari early morning or at dusk will ensure sightings of wild elephants feeding and washing. What an amazing afternoon. We saw around 60 elephants, several Peacocks, White Bellied fish eagles, Water buffalos and more. Beautiful sunset on the way back to camp. Truly beautiful ! #srilankanstyle#h2hanimals #minneriyanationalpark

Our driver and guide Chandana who has been doing this for 12 years at the Minneriya National Park ! He says he loves his job – everyday taking people to see the elephants. He had one elephant encounter / accident where the elephant charged at him from the front of the jeep. He just stayed calm and did not move. Thankfully no one was hurt. #minneriyanationalpark#srilankrew #h2hpeople
