Wildlife & Safari
Habarana
Hurulu Eco Park is the visitor area within Hurulu Forest Reserve near Habarana, managed by the Department of Forest Conservation rather than as a national park. Its dry-zone forest and grassland form part of an important elephant corridor. Visits are vehicle-based; use authorised tracks, avoid crowding wildlife and expect seasonal movement rather than guaranteed sightings.

Wildlife & Safari
Habarana
Kaudulla National Park is a dry-zone protected area centred on forest, grassland and the Kaudulla reservoir. It forms part of the wider elephant landscape shared with Minneriya and Hurulu, so wildlife movement varies by season and water conditions. Visit by permitted vehicle, stay on authorised tracks and treat every sighting as uncertain.

Arugam Bay
Kumana National Park is a remote protected area reached through the Okanda–Panama side of Sri Lanka’s south-east coast. Its lagoons, tanks and dry-zone habitats are especially important for resident and migratory birds, alongside other wildlife. Visits require official park access and a permitted vehicle; sightings, road conditions and seasonal access should never be assumed.
