Embark on a guided safari through Bundala National Park, Sri Lanka’s first Ramsar-listed wetland and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This coastal sanctuary is one of the country’s most important habitats for migratory birds, especially during the northern winter season when thousands of species arrive.

The park is best known for its iconic greater flamingos, which often gather in large flocks across the shallow lagoons, creating one of Sri Lanka’s most striking wildlife scenes. Alongside birdlife, Bundala is also home to elephants, crocodiles, deer, and a variety of wetland species adapted to its unique ecosystem.

Your safari journey takes you through a network of six interconnected lagoons, salt flats, scrub forest, and coastal dunes, offering a constantly changing landscape. These include Bundala, Embilikala, Malala, Koholankala, and Mahalewaya lagoons, each playing a vital role in the park’s ecology and local livelihoods.

Despite its global importance, Bundala remains a quiet and less-crowded safari destination, making it ideal for travelers seeking a more peaceful wildlife experience. The park also holds archaeological significance, with prehistoric human artifacts discovered in its dunes dating back over 100,000 years.

A guided safari with CCT Sri Lanka ensures a comfortable and informative journey through this fragile ecosystem, while also supporting ongoing conservation efforts.
