Buchanan, wildlife filmmaker and photographer, said: “I am very excited to say that I am touring again in 2027 and cannot wait to come to Salisbury.
“The response to the shows during the past two years has been absolutely brilliant so it’s going to be great to get back on the road with Lions and Tigers and Bears and meet more animal lovers across the country.
“We know it sounds like a line from The Wizard of Oz – oh my! – but I feel so incredibly privileged to have spent a lifetime observing these magnificent creatures who are simply the undisputed icons of the animal kingdom.
“From pandas in China to orphaned grizzlies in Russia, from high-altitude tigers in the Himalayas to jaguars in the depths of the Amazon, I have been fortunate enough to meet many of these incredible creatures in their natural habitats – and I love being able to share their secrets with audiences.”
The show has played to packed theatres since February 2025 and will visit almost 40 venues across England, Scotland and Wales in 2027.
Buchanan, often described as “Scotland’s own David Attenborough,” has spent his career revealing the wonders of the natural world.
He began his journey in filmmaking in 1989 as an assistant to Nick Gordon, working in Sierra Leone’s Gola Rainforest.
