From tracking polar bears, brown bears and wolves on foot in the high Arctic, to dogsled expeditions in Swedish Lapland to scuba-diving expeditions from the Galapagos
Olly Williams brings Natural High an unrivalled Arctic and Ocean offer born of over 25 years of Wilderness expeditions to witness endangered species in their intensely remote environments
Each wilderness trip we offer has been ‘ground-truthed’ by Olly. Over the years he has invested heavily in the most essential ingredient of a successful expedition - expert local knowledge. To this end he has personally sought out the services of elite trackers, wilderness guides, legendary conservationists and award-winning wildlife cameramen who have in turn become close personal friends and trusted expedition partners.
Today it is the services of these uniquely qualified individuals that we offer to you.
It's only recently that I've done anything really intrepid. When I do go I go with serious teams such as Olly Williams provides ”
In bringing this extraordinary basket of expert-led experiences to Natural High, Olly perfectly complements our existing expertise, bringing an Arctic "yin" to our African "yang"”
"Olly and Suzi, a pair of artists who collaborate to make animal pictures.
One is left-handed, the other right-handed, and they draw marks simultaneously on the same page, creating images that are half-found objects, sometimes comic, often beautiful and always with the innate vibration of the wild.
They work up-close in the bush, the tundra, underwater, as close as they can get to their subject; and they specialise in predators: lions, sharks, bears, wild dogs, crocodiles, snakes. But there is an added element of danger, of commitment, daring bullishness, circus and adventure. The work has elements of performance and environmental advocacy. Olly and Suzi’s paintings are also wild and live outside the urbane, fashionable and expensive contemporary art market. As our own Waldemar Januszczak explained, this was not least because animals and nature are not where the art world looks for its art. It is a civic and urban calling, and those who want kitsch animal paintings of thunderous elephants and suicidal partridges aren’t going to get the expressions of zoomorphism in Olly and Suzi’s work."

"Yes I would consider them again"
Natural High
"We are repeat customers and NH never fail to deliver an exceptional trip. They understand exactly what we want to experience and tailor the adventure using accommodation that suits us and fabulous guides. The advice is sound and backup there if necessary."
Enjoyed EVERY second of an action- packed two weeks in Kenya. Asante Sana👏
"This was my fourth safari booked with Natural High and, as previously, it surpassed my expectations. Vanessa’s Itinerary was spot on - the three camps were very different but all were spectacular with food to die for, wonderful staff, friendly, knowledgeable and great driver/guides. I could go on and on - it was perfect, and the icing on the whole trip was tracking, and finding a pack of Wild Dogs - the reason for going😃
Already saving for a 5th trip and will DEFINITELY book with Natural High - they are the Best!"

"They picked out good places to stay that fitted the criteria. Very thoughtful and attentive. They called back and they sent emails with suggestions."
Morroco was a pleasant surprise
"This was certainly not our first trip with natural high.
As any other trip, organization was great, ie pick up, vehicles, local guides, food, all well done.
I now have a different opinion of the country and people."
