Our Story
Guardians of
the Wild East

Kumana Safari Service was founded by a team of passionate naturalists from Sri Lanka's Eastern Province. Growing up alongside the park, our guides carry an intimate knowledge of its ecosystems — knowledge no textbook can teach.

We believe wildlife tourism, done right, is one of the most powerful tools for conservation. Every booking directly funds anti-poaching patrols and supports local communities who live beside the park.

Kumana National Park protects over 18,000 hectares of lagoons, scrub jungle, and pristine beach. We are proud to be its ambassadors to the world.
