"It might not be the first place that springs to mind when planning a safari, but a stay at one of the best safari hotels in Sri Lanka might just change your mind. It's one of the planet's most exciting biodiversity hotspots, and as such, Sri Lanka mesmerises with its variety of dizzying ecosystems, staggeringly high concentration of endemic plant, animal and bird species, as well as an impressive 26 national parks, all packed into a country roughly the size of Ireland."
"Having visited an array of Sri Lanka's national parks, from atmospheric Yala, which impresses regardless of sightings, and the bumpy, dusty red tracks of Wilpattu, to world-famous Minneriya, where hundreds of Asian elephants gather each summer, I've been lucky enough to have experienced 13 safaris, each of which has impressed in different ways. Dreamy Airbnbs and some of the best hotels in Sri Lanka can be found in close proximity to many of the more popular national parks,"
Sri Lanka is a compact but biologically rich island with dizzying ecosystems, a high concentration of endemic plant, animal and bird species, and 26 national parks. Landscapes range from emerald tea plantations in the highlands to vibrant cities such as Jaffna and Colombo and ancient kingdoms with hand-carved temples. Key parks include atmospheric Yala, dusty Wilpattu and Minneriya, where large gatherings of Asian elephants occur each summer. Many accommodations, including Airbnbs and top hotels, are located near popular parks; some properties provide game drives, experienced trackers and locally informed, respectful wildlife experiences.
