 🐘 Why Join the Ultimate Elephant Gathering in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka is home to nearly 6,000 wild elephants, yet fewer than 150 tuskers remain. This gathering brings together herds and tuskers in a natural spectacle found nowhere else on Earth. We call it the Last Great Wild Elephant Gathering because tuskers in Sri Lanka are being lost every month due to human conflict, habitat pressures, and other threats. Once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Asian tuskers are already rare, and Sri Lankan tuskers are even more unique. To witness these giants roaming free, in their natural wilderness, now is the time—before this extraordinary sight disappears into history.

• Immerse yourself in Sri Lanka’s breathtaking wilderness
• Capture powerful moments of tuskers in dramatic landscapes
• Experience a front-row seat to one of nature’s greatest wildlife events
