Sri Lanka's national parks offer some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in Asia, particularly for elephant sightings.

The dry season (May to September) is ideal for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. The famous "Gathering" in Minneriya sees hundreds of elephants.
What to Bring
