Final episode of Fierce
Tonight at 8pm on ITV in the final episode of the series, Steve is in the vast nature reserves of South Africa in search of a pack of rare and endangered African wild dogs. In this final episode, Steve helps capture and tag a magnificent martial eagle, gets hands on with a venomous spitting cobra and a puff adder as they strike and risks life and limb to kayak up close to Africa's most dangerous mammal, the highly unpredictable hippopotamus.
Your chance to travel with me to Kenya or the Arctic Circle in 2017
I am thrilled to announce that next year I will be heading to Kenya and the Arctic Circle, leading two trips you can join me on! Organised by wildlife holiday specialists Natural World Safaris, I will be on hand in each location offering expert advice to help you enjoy every wildlife encounter.
If you’ve always wanted to visit the Arctic, join me and 12 other guests in August 2017 in Svalbard for a small-ship sailing around Spitsbergen. We will sail past spectacular scenery of broken sea-ice, magnificent mountains and ancient glaciers in the search for Arctic wildlife: seals, walrus, Arctic foxes, Svalbard reindeer and of course, the majestic polar bear. https://www.naturalworldsafaris.com/holidays/polar-regions/svalbard/ultimate-svalbard-safari-with-steve-backshall
Come September, I’ll be travelling further south to the wide open plains of Kenya on the ultimate big cat and migration safari with just 18 guests. In the Masai Mara, we will go on twice-daily game drives to witness the famed Great Wildebeest Migration for ourselves, as they travel in their thousands with crocs, lions and leopards in hot pursuit! In the evenings, we will stay in a fantastic camp that we have exclusively to ourselves, where we will chat and learn more about each experience we shared that day. https://www.naturalworldsafaris.com/holidays/africa/kenya/big-cats-and-the-great-migration-with-steve-backshall
For more information or to book onto one of these trips, please visit www.naturalworldsafaris.com or call 01273 691 642 to speak with the team at Natural World Safaris.
I hope to see you there!

Steve Backshall - Extreme Mountain Challenge on BBC Two
Adventurer and naturalist Steve Backshall embarks on one of the most dramatic and dangerous expeditions filmed by a BBC crew - to explore Venezuela’s tepuis, the ancient, sheer-sided mountains of Canaima National Park.
With a team of expert rock climbers, Steve attempts the first ascent of a remote, unclimbed tepui to search for wildlife on the summit. The month-long expedition will see Steve and the team scaling untouched mountain cliffs, caving inside the tepuis and abseiling off the highest waterfall in the world. Along the way, the team battle against freak weather, rock fall and some very dangerous wildlife.
