KUMANA NATIONAL PARK

Kumana National Park, located on Sri Lanka's southeastern coast, is a hidden gem for wildlife photographers seeking raw, untouched natural beauty and a rich variety of wildlife. Unlike more frequented parks, Kumana offers a tranquil and less-crowded environment, ideal for photographers who value patience, quiet, and undisturbed animal behavior. Its vast wetlands, lagoons, and mangrove swamps create dramatic and photogenic landscapes, perfect for capturing the essence of the wild.

The park is home to over 200 bird species and thousands of migratory birds, including spoonbills, painted storks, egrets, and pelicans, flock to Kumana's lagoons, making it a dream destination for avian photography.

Kumana is not just about birds; it also supports an array of other wildlife, including elephants, leopards, crocodiles, wild boar, and more. The park's diverse terrain and seasonal water bodies allow for dynamic photographic compositions and action shots. Additionally, Kumana's golden light during early mornings and late afternoons provides the perfect natural lighting for high-impact images.
