Bundala Bird Watching Safari

RAMSAR wetland status

Recognised internationally as a wetland of global importance, Bundala's lagoons support one of Sri Lanka's richest concentrations of resident and migratory birds.

Greater flamingo flocks

Bundala is one of the few reliable places in Sri Lanka to see flocks of greater flamingos, especially during the northern winter migration.

Quieter alternative to Yala

Far fewer jeeps than neighbouring Yala, with a strong focus on birdlife rather than big-cat sightings.

Plan your visit

Bundala is close to Tissamaharama and easy to combine with a Yala safari. Background: Bundala National Park on Wikipedia.

Coastal lagoon bird safari

Jeep or boat routes along Bundala's lagoons turn up flamingos, painted storks, pelicans and dozens of migratory species in season.
