About Aquavision · Established 1992
A home for
extraordinary images.
Aquavision’s story began in 1992, with natural-history filmmaking for international audiences. From animal behaviour in the African bush to life beneath the water, that work grew into a library of wildlife, underwater, cultural and tourism footage.
The archive brings together material from Aquavision and Lion Mountain Media, alongside contributions from filmmakers and specialist libraries. Its roots reach across the national parks, wildlife reserves and landscapes of southern and central Africa.
