Maduru Oya National Park guide — a lesser-visited east-central park combining elephant safaris with scattered ancient ruins.
Scattered archaeological remains sit within the park alongside its wildlife, an unusual combination among Sri Lanka's national parks.
One of the least-visited major parks, with very light jeep traffic compared to Yala or Udawalawe.
Maduru Oya sits east of Polonnaruwa, in the same region as Gal Oya National Park.
A quiet jeep safari around Maduru Oya's reservoir, with elephants, deer and occasional ruins along the route.
