Wildlife Safari in Minneriya National Park

Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Negombo and travel to Minneriya National Park for an adventurous wildlife safari tour.
Reach the destination and begin your safari drive in Minneriya National Park, one of the country's oldest national parks.
Learn about the park's history. It was established around the Minneriya Tank, which was built during the 3rd century BC by King Mahasen. The main reason this land was declared a national park was to protect the catchment of the tank, which still remains vital for agriculture and also serves as an important feeding ground for wildlife.
