Situated in Inginiyagala district west of Ampara, the Gal Oya
National Park is 314 km from Colombo with its area of 260 sq
km.
It is surrounded by the largest tank in Sri Lanka, the Senanayake
Samudra. The best time to see wildlife here is between March
and July when you can possibly see almost 150 elephants at one
time.
The Gal Oya
National Park is most renowned for its extraordinary elephant
population.
The usual way to enjoy the park's scenery is to
take a boat trip around the lake, watching animals and birds
on the shore before drifting close to the herds of elephants.
We offer individual Gal Oya Jeep Safaris, eco-friendly Gal Oya Camping Trips and Gal Oya Excursions as part of some our Sri Lanka Round Tours.
