Stop At: Kala Wewa Reservoir, Sri Lanka
The imposing Kala Wewa and Balalu Wewa tanks built in the 5th century BC by King Dhatusena adorns the 6000-hectare Kalawewa National Park, alongside with impressive 45 feet high standing Avukana Buddha statue built during the same era.
But the centerpiece to the Park is the star residents of the sanctuary – the tusker elephants. Of the male elephant population, only about seven percent are tuskers. Kalawewa boasts of a high concentration of tuskers in Sri Lanka – a privilege to sight.
Kalawewa National Park is home to a great concentration of tuskers; a magnificent sighting to experience. There are also the migratory herds that enter the Park. In addition to the tuskers, large flocks of open-billed storks are a common sighting. The park has a beautiful landscape lined with massive signature Kumbuk trees.
Your accompanying guide will give you additional information about the tusker safari. Specially modified and comfortable jeeps are provided for the Kalawewa safari.
