Janaka Saman

Founder & Lead Safari Guide

A Life Devoted to the Wild

I am Janaka Saman, and with over 10 years of experience in the safari and tourism industry, I founded Janaka Wildlife Jeep Safari with the knowledge, experience, and passion I have developed for Sri Lanka's wildlife and nature.

Through many years of working with tourists from around the world, I have gained a deep understanding of the needs of international travellers and how to provide them with a safe, comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable safari experience.

I hold the necessary driving licence for transporting tourists, as well as the driving permit issued by the Department of Wildlife Conservation, giving our guests complete peace of mind from the moment they step into our jeep.
