'Beyond' Steppes Travel Festival

In a brilliant initiative for the world of responsible travel, Justin Wateridge, Managing Director of Steppes Travel, is launching a 2 day ‘Beyond’ Travel Festival. He has pulled together an unprecedented line up of the travel world’s leading lights to raise awareness and funding for an array of wildlife and conservation charities.

A stellar cast will include the inspired and the intrepid, the extraordinary and the world changers. For those to whom travel is more than just flop and drop, this is an unmissable opportunity to engage with some of the world’s most famous travel personalities and push the boundaries of awareness of our magnificent, intriguing and often endangered world.

16 high profile speakers will range from:

- ‘The world’s greatest living explorer’, Sir Ranulph Fiennes
- National Geographic ‘Adventurer of the Year’, Alastair Humphreys
- Today’s most highly respected television naturalist, Chris Packham
- TV Vet Steve Leonard
- Champion freediver and passionate ocean conservationist, Hanli Prinsloo

A conservation panel discussion with heavyweight conservationists will be complemented by an action-packed programme of seminars by leading travel authors, photography masterclasses, art exhibitions, travel clinics and travel documentary screenings and talks from big name producers and film makers.

Saturday’s theme will be conservation and wildlife, whilst Sunday will focus on ‘Beyond the Ordinary’.
