He’s also made documentaries on Prince William in Africa, disease in Ethiopia, Captain Scott in Antarctica and Crocodiles in Botswana and is a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society; an ambassador to WWF, Tusk and Hearing Dogs for the Deaf and Patron of The Red Cross.

A keen sailor, Ben has run the Marathon Des Sables and a keen dog walker - he and his wife Marina met in 2006 when they were in the park walking their dogs. He also recently published his first children’s book, Mr Dog and the Rabbit Habit.

His tour will see him recount his thrilling tales with warmth and honesty, thrilling tales and plenty of multi media.
