Our nature interpreter Sameera at our Wilpattu campsite
Hailing from the Cultural City of Anuradhapura, Sameera comes from a family who are longstanding farmers. Despite his family being occupied in the farming industry, young Sameera was always a keen wildlife enthusiast. Holding over a decade of experience as a naturalist in many parks around the country, Sameera has an Advanced Diploma in Ecology from the University of Colombo and he’s completed many courses by the Young Explorers Society, whilst he currently reads for his Advanced Degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management from the University of Colombo.
Sameera is a dedicated and passionate naturalist, which is further cemented by his lifetime membership at the Royal Society of Protection of Birds in the UK. His eagerness to be with nature has brought him to his current position of Nature Interpreter in our Wilpattu campsite. Sameera is one of the six members of his family, and he lives with his parents and sister whilst serving in our Wilpattu campsite.
