About Wildscapes Gallery
As the Founder and Curator of Wildscapes Gallery, Peter Balunek brings the magic of African wildlife and founder-led safaris to art collectors and enthusiasts around the world. The gallery showcases my own wildlife photography, inspired by decades of guiding private, immersive safaris with Peter’s Safaris.
Wildscapes Gallery is more than a space to view art-it’s an extension of the safari experience. Each piece tells a story of the African wilderness, the animals we encounter on the ground, and the unforgettable moments that only a founder-led safari can provide.
Through the gallery, I offer:
– Curated wildlife photography that captures the essence of Africa
– Private viewings and VIP experiences for groups
– Insights into the safari lifestyle, conservation, and the natural world
Whether you’ve traveled with me on a safari or are discovering Africa for the first time, Wildscapes Gallery is designed to bring the journey to life through art, education, and storytelling.

Press Release
As the resident artist, Peter has had the good fortune of traveling the world in search of wild animals. In his role as Wildlife Ambassador of Peter’s Safaris, he leads privately guided, socially conscious luxury safaris to Africa for families and small group. In this role he has spent a great deal of time on the continent of Africa as well other places in search of animals to share with others through his photography.
Giving back to the communities living amongst these majestic animals and helping those communities to benefit from wildlife tourism, is an important goal for Peter’s Safaris. Therefore, a percentage of sales of his artwork will go to the Satao Wildlife Foundation, a local 501c3 charity Peter founded to support community conservation projects in Africa.
Supporting and promoting local artists is another goal of the gallery. We will kick off each month with a First Friday Artist Reception featuring a different visiting artist from Northeast Ohio. The artist’s work will hang in the gallery for the entire month, and they will have full use of the gallery to market their work.
The gallery will also host a Third Thursday Happy Hour from 5:00-7:00 pm each month for socializing, networking, and enjoying the new art. During these Happy Hour events Peter will share a short presentation from one of the many safaris he’s hosted over the last 10 years.
Wildscapes Gallery will also be the home to Peter’s Safaris and welcomes visitors to learn more about safari life. The intimate space is available for rent for private events.
