Excellent day. - I recently visited Bundala National Park on Safari with Shehan safaris. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw lots of crocodiles, monkeys, water buffalo, peacocks, turtles and many other species of birds. The park is also home to a herd of elephants but we were unable to find them that day. I would highly recommend a safari with Sheehan safaris, they have excellent driver/guides! Contact them via email.

Awesome safari with Sakun!! - Half day afternoon tour in Bundala with Sakun - it was awesome! Such a calm and beautiful park, a great antidote to the craziness of Yala. We saw loads of birds, monkeys, crocodiles and a couple of elephants. Sakun was really friendly and helpful, great at spotting animals - he obviously has a genuine interest in the animals, despite having been there many times before he was taking pictures himself of the animals! Great information on the animals and naming them for us. We definitely recommend Sakun for your safari!

Just great!! - We did the afternoon safari in the park and had such a great time. Our guide Yasanka had such a good eye he literally spotted every animal - no matter how far it was away. He showed us through the whole park in a quite new and super comfortable jeep and the best thing was: it wasn’t as busy as in the other parks. He also took us to the beach side, we saw crocodiles, monkeys, elephants, birds, peacocks and had a lot of fun. He also offered to take pictures of me and my friend which was great. At the end he brought us to a place where we could have dinner and dropped us off at the hotel again. So friendly - totally recommend !
