Madagascar Wildlife Photo Expedition

Most of Madagascar's wildlife can be found nowhere else on Earth. Learn how tourism helps Madagascar's species continue to thrive, even after experiencing significant habitat loss.

The island of Madagascar, often called the Eighth Continent for its size and geographic isolation, is home to an extraordinary array of species—over 90% of which are found nowhere else. Join Expedition Leader Matt Meyer for an introduction to our adventures in this global biodiversity hotspot, including our new 8-day Madagascar Explorer. Learn about the wildlife we're likely to see (lemurs, chameleons, tropical birds and more), discover the diverse national parks we visit, and get a peek at our eco-friendly accommodations.

The rich brown of a grizzly bear. The fluorescent green of a peat bog. The reds and golds of fall foliage. Nature knows no bounds when it comes to color, but capturing those hues in photos can be challenging. Expedition leader and pro photographer Charlie Reinertsen shares three approaches to color grading, all geared toward producing a natural, neutral color balance. Charlie will use Lightroom Classic to demonstrate these techniques (using his images of the Northern Peatlands and Yellowstone), but they can be applied in any photo-editing software.

This fall, we invited our travelers to share their favorite photos they took on Nat Hab trips around the globe in our 2024 Guest Photo Contest! Watch as our contest judges announce the winners in both the Experts' Choice and People's Choice categories. They'll also draw the name of one lucky Peoples' Choice voter who will win either a $500 Visa gift card or a $500 donation to World Wildlife Fund (winner's choice). See some of the stunning images submitted by travelers like you—from wildlife to wild landscape—and get inspired to enter your own photos next time!
