Triptune
Minneriya Elephant Gathering & Wilpattu Safari
Wilpattu · 4 days · Up to 6 travelers
Two very different wildlife worlds in one trip: Wilpattu's leopard-stalked lakes and villus, and Minneriya's spectacle of hundreds of wild elephants gathering at the reservoir. A serious pick for travelers who want more safari time than the average package offers.
