wall paintings at Sigirya, crowds on elephant safari
and temple of the tooth at Kandy
In the evening after Polonnaruwa we went by jeep on safari to see elephants in the wild, we managed to see about 30 over an hour or so. What happens though is when you are parked quietly watching them other jeeps see you have found elephants and head for you. That’s ok unless the jeep has large families in it with lots of kids, the elephants don’t like noise and sometimes charge the jeeps. So as soon as the full jeeps head your way you have to keep alert, you easily get surrounded by elephants despite their size they seem to hide in the grass quite well.
