(Edited)

Hello My Fellow Hiveans,

Welcome back to my today's travel blog. Today I'm going to sharing with you one side of the Kumana national park when I visited two years ago. Kumana park is a paradise of birds also other wildlife living there, I shared some captures of birds living in the Kumana from previous post. In this blog I shared only inside of the land here. Kumana national park located in Eastern province in Sri Lanka village called Panama. If someone come from Colombo to Kumana, must need to go over 400 km to the Ampara district.

Where we came to Kumana entrance gate, we need to buy ticket from office. Yup...we bought and safari jeep was ready to pick up. Driver waiting.....yay...Jeep started to go in front of the forest.

When we went to the park, it was raining and the water was full. A wild boar that came to drink water was caught on camera at random.

Another wild boar found various location in the Kumana national park. This is not only bird's paradise. There are another animals including wildlife living. They are walking among the roads and trees.

In my wild safari experienced journey's I mostly saw deer. They are everywhere living and always have fear because they were wait to enemy's come. Deer is a most innocent animal.

I could see one buffalo there. He ate grass that moment. But buffaloes living like group in the African forests. But here I didn't see any kind of Buffalo groups.

Kumana national park has most oldest trees like other forests. This is a cool spot for take little rest.

This is a jeep road where we traveled from safari jeep. The road was very clear. If some wildlife came nearest road we were ready to captured. Our driver looking around the forest for show amazing scenery to us.

This large tree is a great place to create a tree house if it is on private land, not inside the forest.

The camera was able to catch a white cock that was hunting for a fish near a small waterfall. He had long beak. It's so strongest one.

Then we came some difficult jeep road inside of national park. But our vehicle was four wheel jeep. So didn't need to worry about it. Driver was experienced man for the Kumana forest safari. Look at the sky. The weather gave big support for our safari.

I could considered some safari jeeps goes very nearest these lake. Tyre signs proved my eyes. The clouds also very beautiful to see. Every wildlife being satisfy if they have water to drink or bathe. Every animals needed to water for their fulfill requirements. After spent few hours inside national park, we came to the entrance.

Thanks for watching. See you soon. Be Safe and Stay Healthy.

This looks like a great visit to the safari park, minus the danger of having elephants and lions charging towards you as often seen at the africa safaris(not that I've ever been to one myself)

Sri Lanka has been calling my name for a while now, and it's not particularly far, nor expensive from Thailand. Looking forward to being able to travel there in the next year. 😉
