A quieter wilderness of lagoons, wetlands, forests and open landscapes – discover Kumana National Park on a private safari with Swan Trails.
Discover Kumana National Park
Kumana National Park Safari Experience invites you to explore a quieter wilderness of lagoons, wetlands, forests and open landscapes in Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province. The park is especially known for Kumana Villu, a seasonal wetland that attracts large numbers of resident and migratory birds.
Travel in a private safari jeep with a knowledgeable local guide. Look for wetland and forest birdlife, elephants, crocodiles, deer, wild buffalo and monkeys, with the possibility of leopard sightings. Each safari offers a different experience as wildlife moves naturally through the park.
Choose a half-day private safari of approximately 6 hours, available in the morning or afternoon, or a full-day private safari of approximately 14 hours. Pick-up and drop-off are available from accommodation in Panama or Arugam Bay. Each private jeep accommodates a maximum of 6 guests.
