Pallas’s cat kittens in Mongolia - June 30 - July 9, 2024
This trip is very much an adventure as we visit the vast open wilderness of Mongolia in search of it’s elusive small wild cat.
At that time of the year we will be looking for kittens emerging from their dens among the rocks and starting to explore their world while waiting for their mother to return from her hunt.
The kittens are very fun to watch, as they begin to follow their instincts and attempt to playfully catch anything that moves. At this age it is possible to observe and photograph interactions between the kittens, and with their mother - something that is very difficult to witness at other times of the year. It is also possible to watch Corsac fox kits, Steppe polecat, Mongolian gazelle and various birds

Ellesmere Island, Canada expedition - April 15-29, 2025
This trip has a very specific goal, to find and photograph the white Arctic Wolves who live on this island but we may also find other arctic wildlife such as Polar Bears, Musk Ox, Arctic hares, Arctic Fox’s, Prairie caribou, Seals, Lemmings, Snowy owls, Rock ptarmigans and more. The Arctic Wolves of Ellesmere Island have been professionally photographed by no more than 40 people in the history. The estimate is that there are only about 200 wolves living on Ellesmere Island, the tenth largest island in the world, slightly smaller than Great Britain. We will be heading to the north west side of the Island where some of the wolves packs are completely naive to the presence of people since they have never been persecuted or encountered by man.

Wild Indonesia - Javan Rhino and Sumatran orangutan expedition - August 1 - August 16, 2025
This tour is a specialist expedition style trip which focuses on the rarest large mammal in the world - the Javan Rhino.
The latest report by WWF states that as of 2023, there are only about 45 Javan Rhino left in the wild and none in captivity!
These very elusive animals were seen in the wild by no more than 50 people in modern history!
My Javan Rhino Expedition is limited to 4 people (including myself) in total due to the strict permit regulations we have to abide by to get into the core area of Ujong Kulon National Park, the last stronghold of the species.
This unique trip is one of the first to take a small group on an expedition style into the park in search of the Javan rhino. Please realise that seeing a rhino is far fro guaranteed but I believe that we are starting something special here and it can help to save the species from going extinct.
In the The second part of the trip we will fly to Gunung Leuser National Park in Sumatra, home to the largest population of wild Sumatran orangutans remaining in the world.
We will be looking for completely wild Sumatran orangutans, a different experience from seeing semi-wild orangutans near feeding stations like in a few other locations in Indonesia.
This forest is also home to Sumatran tigers, Sunda clouded leopard, Sunda leopard cats, Asiatic elephants, Sumatran rhinos, saimangs and sambar deer, however most of these species are very elusive here. We will however have a good chance of seeing wild orangutans, Thomas’s langur, white-handed gibbons, long-tailed macaques, southern pig-tailed macaques as well as a variety of birds, reptiles and insects.
