African Safaris
Driving across the plains of the Serengeti, every sense becomes sharpened: eyes alert as you scan the horizon, inhaling the mingling scents of lemon bush and wild mint, you listen to the echoes of animals calling in the distance, just as Africa has called to you.

At Natural Habitat Adventures, conservation isn’t just a mission statement—it’s the guiding principle behind every journey we design. On our Secluded South Africa safari, guests explore protected national parks and private reserves where wildlife roams freely and tourism supports vital conservation initiatives aimed at protecting these landscapes for generations to come.
Asia & The Pacific
Chitwan National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a vast nature reserve in the southern lowlands of Nepal. Chitwan is Nepal’s first national park, established in 1973, and spans 360 square miles. This ecoregion has a tropical monsoon climate where wildlife abounds from the fertile Inner Terai valleys to the lush Churia Hills.
Asia & The Pacific
From the moment they enter the world, Asia’s largest mammals and fiercest predators begin life at their most vulnerable. Whether it’s a newborn elephant learning to control its trunk, a young rhino navigating grasslands with limited sight or a tiger cub relying entirely on its mother’s protection, these early months shape survival.
African Safaris
In the heart of one of Africa’s last great wildernesses, a rare and extraordinary experience awaits. Damaraland, a remote and untamed landscape tucked away in northwest Namibia—a country already known for its undulating red sands and ancient basalt mountains—can be arid and unforgiving; a place where many species have had to adapt, just to survive.
African Safaris
The Lion King left many viewers longing to visit the plains of Africa. The family-friendly film conjures up images of elephants browsing on acacia trees and amber-eyed predators prowling among golden grasses as an enormous red sun sinks below the horizon.
Conservation
Around the world, the variety of living things—defined as biodiversity—is declining, as increasing numbers of species face the risk of extinction.
Nature & Wildlife
You’ve no doubt heard the phrase “size matters,” used today quasi-humorously in almost every imaginable context in which the size of a particular object—animate or inanimate—is discussed. For example, one ESPN Classic article by writer Mike Puma on the racehorse Seabiscuit was titled Size Doesn’t Matter.
Nature & Wildlife
Sometimes, the divide between us and wildlife seems wide and deep. Animals live far “out there,” we typically think, while we reside in cities, suburbs, towns and semirural areas. But more and more, we find ourselves in the lands and vicinities of wild animals.
African Safaris
As one of the Big Five, rhinoceros are an integral part of the African safari experience, and spotting them in the wild is considered a highlight for many travelers. Of the five species of rhino, two are found in Africa: the white and the black rhino.
African Safaris
Often, the numbers seem to look bad for African rhinos. Right now, the statistics show that these animals are rapidly declining in core, state-run reserves, such as South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Currently—much like with tigers—more than half of the continent’s remaining rhinoceroses are now on private lands.

Learn How Richard Saves Species as a Sony Ambassador and Guide for Natural Habitat Adventures & WWF On September 22, conservation scientists and animal advocates join forces in recognition of our planet’s five species of rhino. The largest of the species—the greater one-horned rhino (or “Indian rhino”)—is among the greatest conservation success stories in Asia.
