🦏 Humbled have the opportunity to film and showcase the work that those quiet hero’s on the frontline of the war on rhino poaching do... Here’s to all those around Planet Earth working as guardians for our wildlife. Goodness knows it needs them, from our oceans to our jungles to our deserts and savannas 🙌 Thank you all for the work you do! @williamfowlds @flying_4_rhino_ @tusk_org @worldwide_experience #wildlife #blueplanet #endangeredspecies #guardians 📸: @expert.tours taken in South Africa by @ness_knight

Possibly the most chaotic interview I've ever led... 🦏

Not long back I headed to rhino orphanage @rhinopridefoundation to understand wildlife vet Jana's (the founder) feelings on how to save this species on the brink. I think I'll use bales of lucerne to sit on for any interview with the remotest possibility of enticing animals 😂 The comedy value is just too good! Jana, you are a legend for how seamlessly you slipped right back into the interview every time something bonkers happened 🙌🤣 I lost count...

On a serious note, this organisation is extraordinary and any support you can give them will come with my deepest gratitude.

I'd say some of these 'bloopers' need to make it into the final documentary cut, no?!

Today we celebrate the women who cross borders, climb mountains, sail oceans and step into the unknown with courage and curiosity⭐️

🌎Women who travel on their own terms and continue to push boundaries around the world.

🙌Women who venture into remote places, share their stories and remind us that exploration has no limits.

Your strength and spirit of adventure make our community stronger and the world more connected❤️‍🔥

Happy International Women’s Day. ✨

Buckling up for a busy Keynote Speaker season, and kicking it all off with a bang presenting a series of talks next week centring around resilience in the face of adversity, exploring uncharted regions, and a deep dive into the frontlines of conservation efforts across Africa. If you have an event coming up this spring/summer and are looking for a keynote on leadership, team building for high-pressure environments, risk taking, resilience, or conservation then drop me a DM!

Built to explore. Built to push limits. Built for more.

Ness, Pip and Laura went from being first time kayakers to completing a world-first kayak expedition down the Essequibo River. Five years later, we brought them back together at their training ground, the River Dee. Now with the #INEOSGrenadier, they can continue to test their limits.

Head to the link in our bio to watch them in action and be inspired to get outside your comfort zone.

One mission: to push the limits. Three explorers. Powered by the INEOS Grenadier.

Introducing our second episode of The Outsiders – a community of adventure-seekers determined to follow the path less trodden.

Ness, Pip and Laura reunite at their training ground, the River Dee, and reflect on their world-first Essequibo River expedition.

The INEOS Grenadier gives you the freedom to take on any challenge. Anything is possible when you step outside of your comfort zone.

Larger than life insects practically raining down on us in the jungle. This is the largest stick insect I have ever seen, and perhaps the luckiest, as he nearly got batted by me thinking he was a twig on my bag. Better this than the hand sized spiders we encountered on the daily! taken in Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo by @ness_knight

Grunts to rival any top tennis player 🙄 A little BTS of a jungle expedition, collecting bruises, but we'll take that... what we weren't so chuffed to take were malaria, dengue fever, flesh eating parasites or bot fly larvae living under our skin 🤢

Banging journey with @laurabingham93, @pipstewart and the Wai Wai warriors who accompanied us to the source of this mighty river in Guyana 🇬🇾
