The northern half of the elephant corridor that Minneriya anchors. When the Minneriya tank is full and the grass is submerged, the herds move here, which is precisely why an operator needs both parks as separate bookable records rather than one. Afternoon drives regularly put 100-plus elephants on the reservoir bed at once.
