Wild Life

Sri Lanka is ranked amongst the world’s twenty-five biodiversity hot spots. As a country with high rate of endemism it has many faunal groups including birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians which you cannot find anywhere in the world. Sri Lanka is world renowned as one of the best places to watch elephants and leopards for nature enthusiasts and photographers. There are seasons for elephant gathering where large concentration of wild elephants together can be seen during that time at a place known as Minneriya in the north central province of the country. Sinharaja, the tropical rainforest of the country is the place to glue one’s eyes on to the world’s largest mixed species of birds flocking together.
