Highlights

It is a haven for bird watchers both resident and migratory.
Anawilundawa is also the nesting site for many exotic birds; including some of the rarer species of cormorants, egrets, storks and ibis, along with the pheasant tailed-jacana and the purple swamp hen.
If you are able to enter the sanctuary by 6.00 AM you will get to see over 150 species of birds leaving their nests for the day.
A unique excursion created especially for bird lovers. Probably the best day excursion to experience nature.
