Nat Hab Nature Journeys Exclusively For Women Travelers

Interested in a nature encounter exclusively in the company of women? An adventure where you can relax and be yourself, push your comfort envelope as much or as little as you wish, and learn from outstanding female naturalist guides in the world’s most wondrous wild places?

Nat Hab is thrilled to announce the expansion of a series of small-group nature journeys exclusively for women travelers!

Women’s Journeys is a curated selection of Nat Hab’s top itineraries, which offer inspiring encounters with nature while championing women and their stories.

Women’s Journeys

“Nat Hab’s Women’s Journeys offers a supportive and uplifting environment where women can explore nature under the passionate guidance of our women Expedition Leaders,” says Renata Haas, Nat Hab’s Head of Adventures, North America. “Our women-only departures build an immediate and meaningful community while empowering women to reconnect with their inner ‘wild.’” 

Nat Hab launched Women’s Journeys in 2023, to immediate success. “With overwhelming demand to offer more, we’ve increased our capacity for women-only trips by 75% in the last year alone and plan to double that again by 2025,” says Haas.

From the Arctic to Africa and beyond, Women’s Journeys cultivates connections among women of all ages and life contexts. The program welcomes women traveling solo, with friends, partners, or multi-generational family members. Itineraries are designed to animate and empower women as they embrace new discoveries in a supportive all-women setting.

In intimate travel groups averaging just nine guests, Nat Hab’s highly accomplished women Expedition Leaders, including Ph.D. scientists, wildlife biologists, and conservationists with extensive field experience, offer guests deep insight into wildlife, ecosystems, and natural and cultural history. Departures also facilitate connections with local women in the places visited.

Women Are Champions of Conservation

Nat Hab’s Women’s Journeys showcases the critical role women play in conservation. Studies show women are disproportionately affected by biodiversity loss and climate change, which creates challenges with accessing water and vital resources in affected regions. Nat Hab trips provide essential support for community-based conservation projects that combat these issues and generate economic empowerment for local communities.

“The impact of bringing women together to intimately witness the natural world spurs a ripple effect for active and meaningful discourse and change,” says Haas. “This communion is at the core of our brand ethos and our larger mission of fostering environmental activists, conservationists, and changemakers.”
