A Place of Care, Where Elephants Thrive!

Witness the Gentle Giants Play, Bathe, and Feast!

One of the most captivating experiences at Pinnawala is watching the elephants bathe in the Maha Oya River. Twice a day, the elephants are taken to the riverbank where they joyfully splash around, using their trunks to spray water over themselves. Visitors can get an up-close view of these gentle giants as they bathe and socialize. The feeding sessions are equally engaging, as the elephants eagerly enjoy large portions of fresh fruit and vegetables. Witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural routines offers a rare opportunity to connect with the wildlife in a truly unforgettable way.
