Elephants in the wild

We had a four hour drive from Colombo to Dambulla where we checked into our next hotel and then had lunch from the buffet selection. One of the desserts was like sago pudding and tasted much nicer than anticipated!
After lunch we took a half hour drive to Minneryia National Park where we got in an open top, open sided jeep and set of in search of the elephants that live here in the wild. We didn’t have to wait long!
We were very lucky and saw several elephant families and a few lone elephants all enjoying the ample supply of grass and shrubs. It was an absolute treat to see them out in the wild.
Back at the hotel we had dinner, but did pick up some midgy bites tonight!Read more
