"There is no better feeling than being outdoors, taking in what mother nature has to offer."

"Wildlife saved me when I was at my lowest, I owe it the love and respect it truly deserves."
CO-FOUNDER TOUR LEADER PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m a UK-based wildlife photographer, storyteller and content creator, with a passion for wild places, creative photography and the experiences that sit behind the images.
I’m the founder of The Wild Den, an online community bringing together wildlife photographers from across the UK and beyond, and co-host of the WildX Podcast with Adam and Mike.
For me, wildlife photography is about far more than simply getting the shot. It’s about being outdoors, understanding the wildlife we encounter, developing a creative eye and embracing the unexpected moments that make every experience unique.
ANDY GREEN
TOUR LEADER PHOTOGRAPHER CONTENT CREATOR
My love of wildlife began with a kingfisher poster, a birdwatching dad and dreams of becoming a wildlife cameraman. Today, I’m an award-winning filmmaker, photographer and creative director with 15 years’ experience across film, advertising and wildlife storytelling. Travel deepened my connection to wild places, while nature’s impact on my own wellbeing inspired Wildest Ones, my award winning documentary series. I’m also proud to be an Ambassador for Lancashire Wildlife Trust.
I’m delighted to now be part of the wider Apex Adventures team, sharing that passion and knowledge to create meaningful, inspiring wildlife experiences for others.

WE WANT TO BE DIFFERENT.
WE HAVE CREATED A BRAND THAT REPRESENTS THE ETHOS THAT WAS CENTRAL TO STARTING OUR BUSINESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AN APEX IS AT THE VERY PINNACLE, THE TOP - THAT IS THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE WANT ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS TO FEEL WHEN THEY SPEND TIME ON ONE OF OUR TOURS.
EXPERIENCE IS KEY, THE SMALL DETAILS, THE PERSONAL APPROACH, THE FEELINGS CREATED BY SHARING AN ADVENTURE.
HELPING YOU CAPTURE IMAGES THAT EVOKE EMOTION.
IMAGES THAT TAKE YOU IMMEDIATELY BACK TO THE PLACE THAT YOU WERE, AND THE FEELING THAT YOU HAD, IN THE MOMENT THAT YOU CAPTURED THEM.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ‘BRAND’
PARTNERS
At Apex Adventures, we pride ourselves in using equipment that stands the test of time and performs at the highest possible level. This means that when we are in the field, anywhere in the world, in any conditions, we need our gear to support us.
Protecting our gear both in transit and in the field, is absolutely crucial. As brand ambassadors for f-stop, we could not feel more confident that our equipment is being protected by the best bags on the market.
Scouting locations and observing wildlife play a huge part in planning and running successful tours. Partnering with one of the worlds leading optics brands, Kite Optics, enables us to do this with confidence.
Our adventures take us all over the world, and countries such as Norway, Iceland and Mongolia can get extremely cold. Through our partnership with Vallerret, we equip ourselves with premium photography gloves designed to keep hands warm and agile in the extreme cold, ensuring every moment is captured without compromise.
At Apex Adventures, we are proud that our images are stored on Delkin Devices memory cards, the fastest and most secure storage available.
We also appreciate that we may not also be able to own the right lens or camera body for every occasion and every species, therefore we are proud to partner with the UK’s leading photographic hire company, Lenses for Hire. Please enquire if you would like our personal discount code.
Finally, if booking your flights is something that you would like help and assistance with, we have partnered with experienced travel consultant Lee Collier at ‘NotJustTravel’, who will be happy to help you secure the best available flights - ask us for details.
