Family adventures don’t get much better than this! Surfing in the sea, playing games in the tent, bug-hunting with the kids and climbing through the wild made for the perfect mix of fun and fresh air. 🏕️🐞🌊🌿 Volvo Car UK #ex90 #ad | Steve Backshall

Mark ‘Lionel’ Vinall had a lot of big adventures together. From my early days on Nat Geo in the late 1990s, through Really Wild Show and onto Deadly 60. A cave diving explorer, Mark was able to switch seamlessly from topside to underwater filming, tireless, brilliant. Mark you will be sadly missed. | Steve Backshall

Steve Backshall gets closer to hippos than most would ever dare, watching them wander through streets and gardens in South Africa 🤯 With tusks that can grow as long as a human arm and lightning‑fast speed, these animals are as breathtaking as they are deadly 🦛 💪 #animals #documentary #nature | Channel 5

Near death experiences with animals… happen very rarely. Probably my two closest calls were both diving in the Okavango delta; once with crocs and this one with hippos. Much of the time these experiences are over-dramatised, but I honestly believe we were lucky to make it out of this one unscathed… apologies for the bleeps and the blasphemy! | Steve Backshall
