We had a same kind of experience in Udawalawa. We saw lots of elephants with their families while they were in their daily life.

Great post. Thank you! Do you know which of these parks might be best for seeing elephants in mid to late November?

Great quality photography! As to best spots, its a pity you missed Udawalawe as we actually found it to be the most authentic, enjoyable and least tourist saturated place to have the Safari experience and elephant watching!

In reply to Jhone. @Jhone I also agree that Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home is a good place since the elephants are released into the wild.

Hay, laurel,
I really agree with you! but in Sri Lanka, wild isn’t the only one place to watch asian elephants. as an example there is a orphanage called udawalawe elephant transit home. They are helping to damaged elephants, lost elephants, elephant orphans. after cure elephants they release them to the wild.. in sri lanka orphanages made for good purpose .

Hello! If we are visiting in September are we best to see the gathering up in Minneriya NP or going to Uda Walawe? We are travelling with an 11 year old. great work re steering people away from orphanages.
Warm regards

In reply to Bernadette Gavin. @Bernadette - I don't know anything about IFRE Volunteers. Best of luck with finding a position.

Hello Laurel, forgive me if you have already said this and I have missed it, but wondering if you know anything about IFRE Volunteers in Sri Lanka?

Also, on another note, I am a Craniosacral Therapist with more than a decade of experience working with all sorts of animals. Craniosacral Therapy is beneficial for both specific ailments and also just general health and well-being. I currently live in NZ but am heading back out in the world in June and am looking for places to go where I can offer my services (am happy to do free of charge) to animals who would benefit form this. (Every one would!;-) Do you know of any places who would like my help? (I of course I would supply a C.V and references.)
Tank you for your time.

Thank you for your informative article. We will be in Sri Lanka in June this year, 2018 . So far we have planned to visit Ella, Arugam Bay then heading north to Trincomalee and then further north. Is June a good time to see elephants and wildlife and where would you recommend Minneriya or udawalawe ?
