Can I combine Udawalawe with Bundala National Park?

Yes, you can combine Udawalawe with Bundala National Park pretty easily, since they are around 1.5 to 2 hours apart by road.

This pairing works well for wildlife enthusiasts who want to see both megafauna and avifauna. Udawalawe tends to give fairly consistent elephant sightings with scrub jungle scenery, while Bundala is a coastal wetland ecosystem, internationally known for migratory birds. Many visitors plan a morning safari in one place and then an afternoon session in the other, so they can cover a greater variety of species in the same day.
