For a more comfortable safari, we recommend bringing:
Avoid bright clothing when possible. Neutral and natural colours work well for wildlife viewing.
Our Bird Watching Safari is ideal for bird lovers, photographers, nature enthusiasts, and travellers who want to experience Wilpattu beyond the larger mammals.
The park’s forests, villus, wetlands, and open landscapes create excellent opportunities to observe a wide range of species throughout the day.
Depending on the season and natural conditions, you may encounter peacocks, kingfishers, bee-eaters, eagles, herons, storks, waterbirds, raptors, and many other species.
And while birds are the main focus, you may also encounter deer, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, or other wildlife along the way.
During your safari, you may explore:
Each environment can support a different combination of birdlife.

Bright and energetic birds often seen perched along open areas and safari tracks.
Keep an eye on the sky and tall trees for birds of prey searching for food.
Frequently associated with wetlands, lakes, and shallow-water environments.
Wilpattu’s natural lakes provide important habitats for a variety of water-associated species.
The park also supports many smaller birds hidden among trees, shrubs, and forest edges.
