This wildlife phenomenon is unique to Sri Lanka, occurring every year between June and October,when elephant herds gather in large numbers along the shores of the tank at Minneriya National Park.

Through its partnership, Seylan Bank enables a one-of-a-kind experience for its loyal customers, going beyond merely counting the number of elephants during a safari. Offering an exclusive experience for Seylan cardholders, the partnership for ‘The Gathering of Giants’ featured a two-night, three-day package at Cinnamon Lodge Habarana.

The offer also included two guided safaris by Cinnamon Nature Trails to witness the elephants in their natural habitat, along with a gala dinner and complimentary access to multiple presentations, workshops, and discussions aimed at educating and sharing knowledge.

The event, which took place from 25th to 27th July 2025, was an admirable example of purpose in action, bridgingthe gap between intention and impact. Moreover, it wasthe powerful result of curated storytelling, immersive experiences, and ongoing educational outreach aimed at fostering a culture of sustainable and responsible tourism.
