Om denne oplevelse
Set off from Galle in a private, air-conditioned vehicle as Lakpura transfers you south-east to Bundala National Park — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a Birdlife International Important Bird Area, and Sri Lanka's first Ramsar wetland site. Your English-speaking driver handles the road so you can watch the coastal scrubland shift into lagoon-fringed wilderness. The full excursion runs seven hours, and the minimum age is five, making it a straightforward family-friendly day trip.
At the park, you board a jeep for a dedicated safari through Bundala's mosaic of lagoons and thorny jungle. Scan the waterways for congregating flamingos, painted storks, and estuarine crocodiles, and keep an eye on the scrub for elephants that regularly cross between the salt pans. Entrance tickets, food, drinks, and gratuities are not included, so budget for those separately. Everything else — hotel pickup and drop-off, transport, and the jeep safari — is arranged by Lakpura.
