The Safari Hotel, Tissamaharama, a luxury abode designed to provide a pleasurable experience for wildlife enthusiasts recently had the honour of serving Nigel Barker, the renowned English reality TV personality, fashion photographer, author, filmmaker and former model during his stay in Sri Lanka.

Barker visited The Safari Hotel during a tour of some of the country’s wildlife sanctuaries and other locations. The Safari Hotel, one of the stunning properties in the resort collection of the Ceylon Hotels Corporation, is a part of the Galle Face Hotel Group. It enjoys a breath-taking view, located adjacent to the historic Tissa Wewa and in close proximity to the Yala National Safari Park, which Barker visited a few days ago.

The Ceylon Hotels Corporation Director Sales Omer Idroos stated: “Nigel Barker’s visit to the country is most welcome and much valued, as the presence of such a distinguished international personality builds further credibility to tourism in Sri Lanka and enhances the country’s image as the most preferred travel destination.”

During his stay in Sri Lanka, Barker also conducted a half-day workshop on fashion photography, modelling and inspiration for Sri Lanka’s fashion industry professionals.
