Pottuvil Safari

We hired a tuk tuk to go on the A4 road, towards Monaragala, near Yala National Park. It's where you can see, if you're lucky, some elephants. It was an amazing experience, because we not only saw a few, but one approached us often! The tuk tuk guy was hiding in his vehicle, and thankfully there was a national park warden who shot in the air and scared the elephant. But along this road you can often see elephants crossing. People respect them properly. They come to drink water in the lakes at km 306 of the highway. They are usually not aggressive, but a dog had angered an elephant that stormed out.
