Any visit to Sri Lanka will likely start in Colombo. It’s the countries largest city, and most flights operate from Colombo-Bandaranayake International Airport. Even if you are planning to travel around other parts of Sri Lanka the city is well worth at least a few days of exploration as there are many things to do in…
Ecotourism in Africa is a big business. Each year safari operators, vendors, and lodges assess how they can continue to improve sustainability.
