Bundala National Park is an internationally important wintering ground for migratory birds in Sri Lanka. Spread over 23 square miles, between August and April, it is host to more than 15,000 shorebirds. As well as 149 different resident and migratory bird species, Bundala is also home to elephants, deer and wild buffalo. This unique area of mudflats and lagoons, in the Hambantota district of the southern province, is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Today, with a professional ornithologist, you will have the opportunity to spot some of this wonderful wildlife, especially the greater flamingo that migrates in large flocks — as many as 2,000 have been recorded here at one time.
Notes:
Guests who are pregnant or have a back or neck condition are not allowed to participate. Participants must be able to climb a few high steps unassisted to board the transportation. The vehicle is covered but has open sides. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
