We are a family owned company with a team of highly dynamic wildlife photographers and safari planners that are passionate about travel, the conservation of wildlife and its natural habitats. We work with the country’s leading naturalist guides, local trackers, and jeep drivers across all wilderness areas, whom are experts at tracking down the local wildlife. Our safari vehicles are customized for game viewing and complimentary bean bags are provided for supporting DSLR cameras with tele-photo lenses.

He’s been working within the field of wildlife and nature-based travel for the past decade and leads the operations team to create a range of unique nature-centric travel itineraries in addition to guiding photo safaris both within Sri Lanka and overseas. Riaz is also an internationally recognized location manager for wildlife documentary film crews that visit Sri Lanka and has worked on prestigious assignments such as National Geographic’s Wild Sri Lanka and Disney Nature’s Monkey Kingdom.

Natural World Explorer believes that the future in conserving wildlife will depend heavily on sustainable eco-tourism, where the benefit is passed on to local communities around wilderness areas. We work closely with locally based wildlife guides and safari jeep drivers for our day to day operations. Our tour leaders and chauffeurs are very hospitable and are among the best in the trade having a wealth of knowledge to share with the guests. In each region, we work with highly reputed safari planners who have extensive field knowledge, respond quickly and are attentive to detail.
