This zoo is wild and incredible

#celebrateit Sri Lanka has more than 20 national parks with many wild animals. One of the popular activities is a powerful safari where you can see such animals up close. And among them, elephant safari is particularly popular. Minnelia National Park, Caudulla National Park, and Eco Park, which are less than an hour away by bus from Sigilia Rock, the safari driver will take you to the national park where the most elephants are gathered that day, so you can go out to the wild elephants. It is reputed that the probability of meeting is high. The best season is May to October, when the dry season is celebrated, and during this time, you can meet a large swarm of elephants. Speaking of elephants, they are characterised by long noses and large ears, but Sri Lankan elephants are a subspecies of Asian elephants, and the point is that they have smaller ears than African elephants.
