Icons
The Story Behind The Collection
Land of Icons brings together portraits of some of Africa's most iconic wildlife, celebrating individuals whose scale, character, and rarity have elevated them beyond wildlife to become enduring symbols of the natural world.
Less than 50 Tuskers left in the wild
Testament to a
Bygone era
Rare survivors whose resilience in the face of relentless poaching has allowed nature's most extraordinary expressions to endure
“To stand quietly in the presence of one of these giants is a privilege I will never take for granted - a fleeting opportunity to witness one of Africa's rarest living icons”
— Alex Wood
There are remarkably few great tuskers left in the wild. Carrying ivory so immense that each tusk can weigh well over 100 pounds, these elephants are testament to times gone by and Amboseli is one of their last remaining strongholds.
Finding them is never guaranteed; it depends on the knowledge of expert trackers, long days of searching, and no small measure of fortune. That uncertainty is precisely what makes every encounter so profound.
In Search of Giants is the story behind that pursuit.
