Yes, seriously. If you've ever dreamed of this kind of wildlife encounter then Sri Lanka is the place to be. The opportunity to view elephants in their natural element abound here. The best way, of course, is to embark on an elephant safari where you have a solid chance of observing them. Head to Minneriya National Park for a Jeep safari, or to Gal Oya National Park for a boat safari. Fun fact: there are over 8,000 wild elephants in Sri Lanka.
