Bundala National Park Safari
Bundala National Park, initially known as a wildlife sanctuary, covered 6,216 hectares of an area originally. However, it later reduced its size to 3,698 hectares as per a gazette in 2004. Still, its significance is never any less. In fact, Bundala National Park was declared as the first Ramsar Wetland in Sri Lanka on the 15th of June 1990 under reference number 487. Also, UNESCO designated this National Park as a biosphere reserve in 2005.
This park provides shelter to a diverse array of animal species. Yet, the Bundala National Park is popular as a wildlife sanctuary and an internationally important wintering ground in Sri Lanka for many migratory birds. To be specific, this land is home to more than 200 bird species. Further, 150 of them are endemic while others are migratory.
Most of the birds escaping their homes in northern cold climates make this park their winter home owing to the geographical position of Sri Lanka. In fact, being a tropical island with a favourable temperate climate, Sri Lanka is an ideal destination for migratory birds. Usually, these overseas birds choose the same destination every year. Thus, November to April is the season in which the overseas bird community can be commonly seen in Bundala.
