Overview

Engage in this evening safari in Kaudulla National Park to spot wild elephants and a variety of other endemic wildlife species at this historical park built by King Mahasen about 15 centuries ago. Kaudulla National Park acts as an important corridor for migration of elephants between Minneriya and Wasgamuwa national parks. In the dry months from August to October, more than 300 wild elephants gather on the shores of the reservoir. This gathering is the highlight of the National Park and is one the largest in the wild anywhere in the world. Alluring travelers from around the world to witness this spectacular moment, the elephant gathering is perhaps the most spectacular wildlife event in Sri Lanka!

Kaudulla is Sri Lanka’s newest wildlife reserve. With its 6.656 hectares of land, it is located on an elephant corridor between Somawathie Chaitiya and Minneriya National Parks. Home to deer, leopards and sloths, it is especially known for its elephant population, where more than 200 elephants can be found between the months of August and December for what is popularly known as the ‘Elephant Gathering’. Embark on magnificent journey, and look out for leopards, sambar deers, wild boars, and the occasional sloth bear.
