What you can expect

Begin your day with a comfortable hotel pickup from Yala, Tissamaharama, Kataragama, Tangalle or Hiriketiya, followed by a scenic drive through Sri Lanka’s beautiful southern countryside to the peaceful Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary.

Embark on a truly special nature adventure with the Kalametiya Bird Safari, a one-of-a-kind experience that takes you deep into one of Sri Lanka’s most pristine and vibrant bird habitats. Kalametiya Lagoon is home to over 150 bird species, including rare endemic and migratory birds, making it a paradise for birdwatchers and nature lovers.

Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides and skilled boatmen, glide smoothly across the calm waters of the lagoon. Surrounded by lush mangroves, wetlands, and rich wildlife, you’ll have the chance to observe a remarkable variety of birds in their natural environment. Keep an eye out for species such as the Sri Lankan junglefowl, painted storks, herons, kingfishers, and countless migratory birds that visit this tranquil ecosystem.

Your journey begins with a serene catamaran ride, offering unforgettable moments of relaxation and discovery. Whether it’s watching a kingfisher dive into the water, spotting a flock of flamingos in flight, or enjoying the lagoon’s peaceful beauty at sunrise or sunset, this safari promises memories that will last a lifetime.

After completing your Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary tour, depart from the lagoon and begin your comfortable return journey back to your hotel, ending the day with a deep connection to nature and Sri Lanka’s incredible wildlife.
