I’ve spent more than twenty years photographing wildlife around the world and what that work taught me is that the difference between a good sighting and a life-changing one almost always comes down to the same things: where you are, who is guiding you, and whether the trip was built around the animals. Today’s crowded, cookie-cutter safaris aren’t built for encounters like this. That’s what I design every safari around whether you’re joining one of my small group expeditions or I’m building something entirely around you.
Suzi Eszterhas is one of the world’s most recognized wildlife photographers, with work featured in over 100 magazines including TIME, National Geographic, and Smithsonian, and an Emmy-winning documentary, “My Wild Life,” about her career. For more than 20 years she has photographed newborn animals and family life in the wild across all seven continents, earning a reputation for the trust-based access behind images like tiger cubs in India and brown bear cubs in Alaska. She is the author of 29 books and has led photography expeditions on all seven continents.
A dedicated conservationist, she is a Trustee of the Sloth Conservation Foundation, an Ambassador of the Sumatran Orangutan Society, and founder of Girls Who Click, a nonprofit supporting young women in wildlife photography. Suzi brings decades of firsthand knowledge and exclusive access to every trip she designs, turning a lifetime in the field into journeys built around her clients’ own wildlife encounters.
Remote expeditions fail without rigorous logistical oversight. Imogen Taylor oversees the complex operations required to move clients seamlessly through remote environments. Her oversight guarantees that travel friction is eliminated, leaving the wildlife as the only variable on the expedition.
The reality of securing unprecedented access to wildlife is documented in the film My Wild Life. The Emmy Award-winning documentary offers an unfiltered look into the realities of expedition logistics, the patience required for elite fieldcraft, and the deeper conservation purpose behind the journeys.
Beyond the safaris, I have spent my career documenting the lives of wild families to share the beauty of the natural world with others. With over 30 books published and an extensive collection of canvas prints featuring baby animals, my hope is that these works bring a piece of the wild into your home. Whether you are looking for a gift for a loved one or a meaningful addition to your own space, you will find a selection of images that celebrate the vulnerability and wonder of these species.
