Bundala National Park, located on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with a rich birdlife of over 200 species. During the migratory season from September to March, thousands of birds flock to the park’s wetlands. The park also hosts elephants, spotted deer, crocodiles, and reptiles. The park’s unique mix of coastal lagoons, sand dunes, and scrub forests creates a picturesque backdrop for wildlife viewing. A guided jeep safari is the best way to explore the park, with morning and late afternoon safaris offering the best chances of spotting wildlife. Bundala promises an unforgettable adventure for nature lovers and bird watchers.
