Guided Kumana National Park Full Day / Half Day Safari

The Kumana National Park, also known as Yala East National Park, is located in the Ampara district in the southeast of Sri Lanka at a distance of 391 kilometres from Colombo. Kumana National Park spreads over an area of 35 664 hectares. In the west, the park is bordered by the Kumubukkan Oya river; to the south is the southeastern coast that runs to Panama. A 200‑hectare mangrove swamp called "Kumana Villu" within the park is subject to occasional inundation with seawater. It is at this swamp that many water birds nest, during the months of May and June. Scattered in Kumana National Park are several water pools that are favourite spots of the wildlife: Kudawila wewa, Thummulla wewa and Kotalinda wewa. The wide variety of birds found in the numerous wildlife parks of Sri Lanka makes the tropical island a prime bird‑watching destination in the world. Kumana National Park is the most important and most popular bird sanctuary in Sri Lanka. Kumana birdlife, supported by some 20 lagoons and tanks, is an ornithologist’s paradise. During April–July, tens of thousands of birds migrate to the Kumana swamp area; annually nearly 255 species of birds have been recorded in the national park.
