Bundala Safari with Blue Sky
Bundala National Park is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and Sri Lanka’s first Ramsar Wetland Site, celebrated for its lagoons, marshes, and rich birdlife. With nearly 200 species recorded, it is a paradise for birdwatchers, from elegant flamingos to herons, storks, and spoonbills.

The park is also home to elephants, deer, jackals, monkeys, wild boar, and two species of crocodiles, making it a destination full of surprises beyond its famous flocks of birds.
