Hurulu Eco Park is a popular wildlife reserve near Habarana, Sri Lanka, best known for elephant safaris. The park offers a natural dry-zone forest landscape with grasslands, scrub jungle, and water sources that attract wild elephants and other animals. It is a great alternative safari location when Minneriya or Kaudulla conditions are not suitable. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful jeep safari while spotting elephants, birds, deer, monkeys, and other wildlife in their natural habitat.
