Birding Experience at Bundala National Park

Bundala National Park’s wetland and saltern habitat is home to a large collection of resident birds, as well as migrants that visit every winter, from waders to raptors. Sightings of other key species such as elephants, crocodiles, wild boar, buffalo, spotted deer, and terrestrial birds can be expected.

THINGS TO NOTE

The game drive is less driving, more time stationed at waterholes and salterns.
Subject to availability.
Not available during peak season (Dec 20 to Jan 10).
The experience (the jeep and Wild Coast ranger) is exclusive to the party booking it.
Children under three are not allowed on game drives, unless in an exclusive vehicle.
