Description

Bundala National Park is known for its great diversity of bird species that have settled in the many lagoons in this park. The park covers approximately 6,000 hectares and has a landscape of marshes, lagoons, salt pans and forest. Freshwater ponds and small forests and wastelands alternate. From the dikes you have a beautiful view of the many water birds present. You can only visit the area by jeep. Bundala harbors more than 200 species of birds. Large flocks of over 1,000 Greater Flamingo can sometimes be observed. Terns, ducks, cormorants, herons, ibises, storks, spoonbills and waders are abundant. There is also a small population of elephants in the park, which are easy to spot through the open landscape.
