Experience:
You will begin your tour from Ahangama at 11:00 am. Your chauffeur will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to Bundala. You will reach Bundala by 2:00 pm and continue to Bundala National Park, where you will meet your safari jeep for a three-hour wildlife adventure.
Bundala is a UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve, an Important Bird Area recognized by BirdLife International, and the first Ramsar site in Sri Lanka. Located on the southern coast, the park features a dry zone climate and five saltwater lagoons. It supports a wide range of plant life, including many aquatic species. During your safari, you may encounter some of the 324 species of animals that call Bundala home. Small herds of elephants often roam the park. You may also spot langurs, pangolins, barking deer, sambar, various other deer species, wild boar, rusty-spotted cats, black-naped hares, and jackals.
Bundala is also famous for its crocodiles and is the only park in Sri Lanka where both species can be seen—the freshwater (mugger) crocodile and the estuarine crocodile. Other reptiles include tortoises, numerous snake species (including the endemic flying snake), and all five species of globally endangered sea turtles that nest in Sri Lanka.
The park is a haven for nearly 200 bird species during peak migration. Thousands of Greater Flamingos arrive each year, along with many other bird species such as cormorants, ducks including the lesser whistling duck and garganey, spoonbills, painted storks, black-necked storks, and Eurasian coots.
After your safari, you will return to your vehicle and arrive back in Ahangama by 8:30 pm, completing your tour.
