Tame or wild, the elephant remains part and parcel of the Sri Lankan landscape. Do not miss a trip to the Pinnawela orphanage, where tourists can feed the babies. The Bundala reserve us home to many herds of wild elephants, while the Wirawila reserve will appeal to birdwatchers and ornithologists.
The Sri Lankan elephant population is now largely restricted to a few National Parks and Nature Reserves.
