Oli France

Oli France guides teams through the world’s wildest places.

Oli’s mission is quite simple: To guide the audience on a journey, bringing empowering new perspectives on resilience, self-confidence, leadership and how we can fulfil our boldest life goals.

Oli’s passion for adventure began after spending his teens and early twenties on countless misadventures, be it dodging bombings in Beirut or searching for lions with Army Generals in Uganda. Since then, his adventures have taken him through deserts, jungles, mountains, and war-torn regions across over 75 countries. It’s seen him lead teams through countless high-risk situations, from the highest mountain in Iraq, to the militia-filled jungles of the Congo, to the backstreets of Aleppo, Syria.

The pressures and perils of expedition life mean that quickly developing high- functioning teams is vital.

Oli completed an 8000-mile solo winter journey across the mountainous spine of Asia, Guided one of the first tourist groups through Syria since the start of the civil war, completed a solo 405-mile crossing of the world’s biggest frozen lake in Siberia and most recently in 2024 became the first person this century to complete a human-powered journey from Death Valley to Denali, the lowest point in North America to the highest, entirely by human-power.
