Bundala National Park, a unique natural treasure, spans over 6,218. Five hectares of diverse landscapes, including thorny shrublands, marshlands, lagoons, water channels, and dune habitats. This rich variety of habitats attracts thousands of migratory birds, some of which journey all the way from Eurasia and other parts of the world to spend their winters in the park. The park’s strategic location, just below the southernmost scope of the Asian subcontinent, serves as a crucial stopover for many seabirds after their long sea voyage.
Bundala National Park is one of the famous bird-watching destinations as there are almost two hundred bird species, including one hundred and fifty endemics, and the rest are migratory ones. Comprising a number of wetlands, it was recognized as Sri Lanka’s first Ramsar site and named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2005. It offers breeding and resting grounds for various types of bird life.
The half-day tour is dedicated to exploring the most accessible areas of Bundala National Park. Both morning and evening safaris offer the chance to see a wide variety of species, including birds, elephants, and other wildlife. During each safari, you’ll take a short break at the beach to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

These basic tracks offer a rough yet thrilling game drive experience in a Sri Lankan National Park. Travelers can order picnic breakfast and lunch packs, with the lunch break taken near the beach. A cool box and water are provided for your convenience.
