Wilpattu National Park, Jaffna and the North, Sri Lanka

Situated on a five-acre plot of sandwiched between rice fields, this luxury tent camp provides the ideal base for safaris in the nearby Wilpattu National park. ‘Tents’ don’t really do justice to the accommodation, which consists of individual structures set on raised plinths under the trees – all well spaced and furnished with proper beds, pedestal fans, bathrooms and hot showers. A private verandah offers a pleasant retreat during the hot part of the day, when the surrounding foliage is alive with exotic birds and butterflies.
