We had the most wonderful trip with Srimal. It was a wet day and we weren't sure how much wildlife we would see. We saw SO much. Srimal was extremely knowledgable and you could tell how much he cares for and respects the animals that live in the park. He has lived next to it his whole life. We saw kingfishers, pelicans, painted storks, mongoose, crocodiles, black-faced langurs and wild boar. The highlight was a fantastic encounter with a male elephant who came right up to the jeep. We then saw him have a mud bath right in front of us. It was incredible. We saw one other jeep the whole time we were in the park. You don't get that in Yala. Would 10/10 recommend Srimal's safari.

Bundala park was really a wonderful experience (impressive landscape, animals you can see, not overcrowded) and not only interested for ornithologists. You can discover also elefants, buffalos, monkeys, lizzards, and more. I had a 3 hours afternoon tour, only with a driver, without a tracker. My driver was Ishan and he did a really good job. Although he had to drive the jeep under difficult conditions (muddy surface), he could find a lot of birds and other animals. And he also tried to give some more informations about the animals and their habitat. Simultaneous he also gave me the time to enjoy these special moments. Thank's Ishan!

Bundala is a gem! We went there early mornings and there were birds everywhere. We also saw some crocodiles, buffalos, monitor lizards and monkeys. We did a safari with Chaminda, +94 71 309 5115 who I can highly recommend. He's very friendly and passionate about the wildlife and great at spotting them too. Our breakfast stop by the beach was stunning!

I visited 3 national parks in Sri Lanka and I like Bundala most! Even I saw bear, leopard and elephants in Yala there was not such a calm atmosphere as in Bundala. Hightly recommend to people who loves nature, animals and dont like chasing them. I never seen so many birds as in Bundala park! I took safari with Srimal (+94 779599397) who is local guide and with his knowledge about animal he made me amazing experience.

We visited 4 National Parks and in our opinion this was the best place to see nature at its best without the crowds and lots of jeeps. No problems to stop and observe and no queuing jeeps. We’ve been in Sri Lanka for two weeks and had already identified at least 50 species of birds but at Bundala we were helped by our guide to see another 21 species! Even spotted some yellow bittens and a black bittern, a blue faced malkoha, southern coucal, black crowned night heron, osprey and striated green heron to name a few. We went early in the morning so not too hot. Even had little look at the Indian Ocean. Highly recommend if you like bird watching. We also saw crocodiles, mongoose, tufted grey langurs and wild boar. .

Srimal was an amazing guide. His driver made the journey around the park comfortable. We saw elephants and crocodile amongst other wildlife. Srimal is very knowledgeable and respectful of the wildlife. A very enjoyable Afternoon and would highly recommend.
