Meet Our Family, Aramness 2

Varun Taneja

Head Naturalist

If you embark on a game drive, a forest walk or an immersive cultural excursion with us, you’re sure to come across Varun. His love of the wilderness was kindled at the age of 22 when Varun visited his first national park. In the years that followed, he worked the wildlife circuit in Central India, South Africa, Botswana and most recently Sri Lanka.

Attracted to Aramness for our genuine dedication to conservation, our philanthropic approach to community and our holistic and ethical safari standards, Varun hopes that by delivering informative, fun and interesting safaris for our guests, he will create a greater awareness of the fragile balance that exists in nature.
