Peeping the Bird of the Continent Explorer

Because Sembilang National Park is a mudflat that supports the lives of invertebrates like worms, mollusks, and worm families, which are the food of birds, it serves as a stopover for migratory birds migrating from the northern half of the continent. This migration occurs every year in October, making it the greatest time for travelers to watch it. The murmur of migratory birds blends well with the thundering waves of the Bangka Strait, creating the perfect mood on the beach.

National Park that is home for migratory birds 

Walking down the river by wooden boat to penetrate the dense riparian forest which is characterized by various grasses and shrubs on the river bank and will be accompanied by various animals on the side of the river such as monitor lizards, crocodiles, and labi-labi who are resting are among the activities that can be done.

Unique Features

  • The park protects extensive mangrove forests, swamps, and coastal wetlands, serving as a crucial habitat for diverse marine and birdlife.
  • Sembilang is one of the few places where Sumatran tigers roam coastal habitats, making it a rare and unique tiger conservation site.
  • The park hosts thousands of migratory birds, including lesser adjutants, milky storks, and pelicans, especially between October and December.
  • The mangrove and coastal waters provide shelter for rare marine species like the Irrawaddy dolphin and dugong, often spotted near river estuaries.

Things To Do

A visit to Sembilang National Park is a dream for wildlife lovers, birdwatchers, and eco-tourists. The park's mangrove forests and wetlands provide incredible opportunities for boat tours, where visitors can spot Sumatran tigers, crocodiles, and exotic bird species. Between October and December, birdwatchers can witness massive flocks of migratory birds arriving from Siberia, creating a spectacular natural phenomenon. The park's coastal waters are also home to the rare Irrawaddy dolphins and dugongs, offering a unique marine wildlife experience. Visitors can explore local fishing villages along the Banyuasin River, learning about sustainable fishing practices and traditional river life. Whether you're cruising through mangrove tunnels, spotting rare wildlife, or immersing in the local culture, Sembilang National Park is a hidden gem of Sumatra's coastal wilderness.
