Worth the money. - Prompt pickup for a morning drive into Bundala Park. Excellent quality/condition of safari jeep. Driver was very professionally friendly, also very knowledgeable about the area and birds sharing information as we were driving to the gate. Excellent time had with no rushing around and an intuitive understanding of spending time observing but knowing when to move on. Some of the roads within the park are a bit rugged but our driver really handled the vehicle extremely well, no rough treatment. Had a great volunteer guide with us. Totally enjoyed our safari.

Fabulous park for birding - Booked this safari on line. Went this morning (12march 2024) at 6am. Prompt pickup from our hotel. Vehicle was in good condition and our driver really treated the vehicle well. He was also knowledgeable about the birds and stopped to tell us about some of what we were seeing even before we had reached the park, and collected our guide. He also seemed to know almost without us saying anything, when it was time to move on. Beautiful park for bird life - truly amazing. The larger animals we saw; jackals, buffalo, spotted deer, blackfaced grey langurs, and macaques were a bonus on top of all the bird sightings. As for the beach view point - what a gorgeous surprise.
