Olly Suzi Wilderness Consultancy

“Imagine witnessing polar bears up close, in the Arctic, on foot. Free-diving with humpback whales on a private island in the Pacific. Or photographing the Big Five deep in the heart of the African bush living in your own luxury mobile-tented camp.

The pinch-yourself, can-hardly-believe-it’s-happening experiences that Olly Suzi provide are truly, wildly thrilling. This pair of artists has notched up 60 trips over the last 25 years, tracking and painting endangered predators all over the planet, from the desert to the jungle. Along the way they’ve made friends with legendary guides, polar explorers, survival experts and conservationists – all of whom they can hook you up with in a nanosecond. You simply tell them what you’d like and then step-by- step, they’ll build your privately guided, dream expedition with you. Easy as that. Then, you’ll be off, seeing African wild-dog breeding (beyond rare) or black rhino conservation in action, in search of elusive Bengal tigers (on elephant back too!) or traveling by traditional dog-team through frozen Arctic forests… We could go on, but we’re getting itchy feet just writing about all the animal magic these two can conjure up.”
