    Kumana National Park spreads over an area of 35,664 hectares. In the west, the park is bordered by River Kumubukkan Oya; to the south is south-eastern coast that runs to Panama. A 200 hectares mangrove swamp called “Kumana Villu” within the Park is subject to occasional inundation with sea water. It is at this swamp that many water birds nest, during the months of May and June. Scattered in the Kumana National Park are several water pools that are favorite spots of the wildlife: Kudawila wewa, Thummulla wewa and Kotalinda wewa.

    Kumana National Park provides excellent feeding and resting habitats for a large number of threatened wetland species, including three turtle species such as the Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas), Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta), and the Olive Ridley Turtle (Lepidochelys olivaceae).

      Exploring the wonders of Kumana National Park was an unforgettable experience for our group. We particularly enjoyed the guided jeep tour, where we spotted a variety of birds and even a few elusive leopards. The park’s landscape, filled with lush greenery and serene lagoons, created a stunning backdrop for our day. While the long journey to and from Arugam Bay was a bit tiring, the incredible wildlife encounters made it worthwhile. A suggestion for improvement would be to include a quick snack break during the trip to keep energy levels up. Overall, we left with a deeper appreciation of Sri Lanka’s diverse ecosystems and a desire to return.

      We signed up for a safari experience that promised a deep dive into the wonders of Sri Lanka’s wildlife, and it did not disappoint. The highlight for us was definitely spotting elephants in their natural habitat, which felt both thrilling and humbling. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights that truly enhanced our understanding of the local ecosystem. The only minor suggestion would be to allow a bit more time for each stop, as we felt rushed at times trying to soak in all the sights and sounds. Overall, we walked away feeling enriched by the experience and grateful for the moments we shared with nature.
