Levison Wood is a British explorer, writer, and photographer, celebrated for his extensive walking expeditions across some of the world's most challenging terrains. His journeys have taken him through Africa, Asia, and Central America, where he has documented his experiences through best-selling books and critically acclaimed documentaries. As a Major in the British Army, Levison served in the Parachute Regiment for 13 years, bringing a wealth of experience and leadership to his explorations.
Levison's expeditions are not just about adventure; they are a testament to his commitment to understanding diverse cultures and environments. His remarkable journey along the Nile, a 4,250-mile trek, was transformed into a successful Channel 4 series and a Sunday Times bestseller. Similarly, his six-month expedition across the Himalayas was both a televised series and an award-winning book, recognised as the Adventure Travel Book of the Year at the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards.
In addition to his exploration feats, Levison is a dedicated philanthropist, serving as an ambassador for UNICEF and other charitable organisations. His work in conservation is highlighted by his journey across Botswana, following migrating elephants, which was documented in the series "Walking with Elephants." His commitment to these causes underscores his passion for making a positive impact on the world.
Levison's contributions to literature and media have been recognised with numerous accolades, including an Honorary Doctorate from Staffordshire University. As the Chancellor of the university, he continues to inspire future generations. His photography, featured in prestigious publications like National Geographic and the BBC, captures the essence of his travels, from the streets of Baghdad to the remote landscapes of Afghanistan and beyond.
Levison Wood's unique blend of military discipline, adventurous spirit, and humanitarian focus makes him a compelling speaker and storyteller, offering fresh perspective on resilience, teamwork, and navigating the unknown.
