About this experience

The Elephant Gathering

As the surrounding jungle dries out from July to October, herds from across the north-central plains converge on Minneriya's ancient reservoir. Late-afternoon jeep safaris park on the grassy tank bed as elephants stream out of the forest by the hundred.
