ELEPHANTS!

It’s not uncommon to see these magnificent creatures trundling along roads, often causing traffic havoc. We recommend admiring these gentle giants in the wild on a safari tour, rather than at so-called elephant sanctuaries where they can be cruelly mistreated in order to perform on cue for tourists. The elephant plays an important part in the culture of Sri Lanka. The most popular ice-cream in the country even boasts the name Elephant House.
