Looking for the ultimate wild elephant safari in Sri Lanka, but want to avoid the massive crowds at Minneriya or Kaudulla? Today we’re taking you to Sri Lanka’s best-kept wildlife secret: Hurulu Eco Park. 🇱🇰
While popular parks get packed with jeep queues, Hurulu gets only a fraction of the visitors—making for a much more peaceful and intimate safari. Even better: while nearby parks flood during heavy rains, Hurulu’s higher forest terrain stays open 365 days a year with guaranteed wild elephant sightings.
In this episode, we take an early morning 4×4 safari jeep from Polonnaruwa, spot giant wild elephants crossing the public highway, and get up close with 2-month-old baby elephants, rare jungle birds, and curious monkeys right in the heart of the forest—before heading to our next stop, Sigiriya!
Planning a trip to Sri Lanka with family? This is one adventure you definitely don’t want to skip.
