Kumana National Park located at the south eastern tip of Sri Lanka is regarded as an incredible site for birding and can serve as an undiscovered jewel for wildlife lovers. There are hundreds of species of birds that call this park home, including the migratory bird populations, which makes this one of the best birding spots in the country.
In addition to the incredible variety of bird life, Kumana also has populations of elephants, leopards, crocodiles and wild pigs. This creates an opportunity to observe some of Sri Lanka's most iconic animals within a protected and untouched setting. With a very low number of visitors to the park, the chances of finding these animals increases significantly.
Wetlands, lagoons, and dry forests form an ecosystem where they all live together in balance. The quiet reflectiveness of the lagoons combined with the natural vegetation creates a tranquil scene on everyone's safari experience.
Kumana is full of nature and has a fantastic wilderness, providing a perfect location for those who enjoy nature, photography, and eco-tourism to experience the beauty of Sri Lanka's natural resources.
Not only does a wildlife safari in Kumana give visitors the opportunity to see many types of birds, meet large numbers of elephants, but it is also a unique opportunity to experience the incredible beauty of the wetland’s ecosystem of Sri Lanka through full participation.
