Gal Oya National Park, which is situated in the Eastern province of Sri Lanka, is a unique hidden gem in terms of safaris in Sri Lanka. Lesser known than the giants like Yala National Park and Wilpattu National Park, this offers the best views and experiences if you are an avid nature enthusiast. Gal Oya National Park offers unique safari experiences. Here, you can enjoy a boat safari alongside traditional jeep safaris found in Sri Lanka. The boat safari will take you through the large lake, Senanayake Samudraya Lake, where you will get the chance to spot elephants having fun and swimming between islands on the lake. These are rare sightings that cannot be seen in any other national park in Sri Lanka.
