Acclaimed conservation artist Larry Norton has created the Premier Collection, a series of four superb original oil paintings, one for each of Wilderness Safaris’ Premier Camps in Botswana: Jao, Mombo, Vumbura Plains and Kings Pool.

The full set is to be auctioned off, with bidding closing on 31 December 2008. Fifty percent of the proceeds of the sale of the original paintings will be donated to the Wilderness Safaris Wildlife Trust and will be used for conservation and community projects in Botswana.

Bids are invited on these magnificent paintings which were commissioned by Wilderness Safaris to depict the areas surrounding four Premier Camps in Botswana.

Giclees prints (ink on canvas reproductions) of these paintings are also available at US$100 each, including postage and packaging (size 16 x 22 inches/407 x 558mm). Half the proceeds from these sales will also be donated to the Trust.

To bid for one or the entire 2008 Premier Collection, please send an email with your name and bid to: sara@larrynorton.co.za
