Wild Yellowstone Escape

Find the wild pulse of Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks on a sustainable, small-group safari. Witness wolves hunting in the Lamar Valley, moose and elk browsing beneath the Tetons, bison stirring up dust on open plains and geysers rising into the wide Western sky ringed with mountains.

In 1995, more than a century after the gray wolf was eradicated from the Yellowstone region, it was reintroduced to America's first national park. As wolves began to thrive again in their native habitat, so, too, did controversy. Watch this short film to learn more about the conservation challenges faced by Yellowstone's wolves.

Experience America’s national parks aboard Nat Hab’s custom North America Safari Cruisers, where everyone gets a window seat and our pop-top roofs provide 360-degree views for wildlife watching, photography and a unique perspective on the quintessentially American animals and landscapes around you.

What does it mean to truly belong in a wild place? In the premiere of our new short film, Belonging in the Wild, Expedition Leader Sophie Mazowita reflects on guiding in Yellowstone and shares the story of the park’s bison—resilient survivors of near extinction. Sophie and host Brooke Mitchell will be joined by cinematographer Worth Baker and video editor Andrew Christofil for a Q&A about storytelling, guiding and finding purpose in the wild.

Journey back to the exploration of the American West as Expedition Leader Arthur Kampmann retraces the expeditions that revealed Yellowstone to the world. Meet John Colter, the first known person of European descent to visit the Yellowstone region, and tag along on the surveys that documented springs and geysers (including Old Faithful) to find out how these rugged ventures shaped the creation of the world’s first national park. 

From the blazing maples of Maine to Alaska’s crimson tundra and Patagonia’s golden hills, autumn transforms the Americas into a living canvas. Expedition Leader Arthur Kampmann explains the science behind fall’s colorful foliage and how wildlife responds to the season’s cues. Learn what triggers bears to enter hyperphagia to prepare for winter, moose to begin their rut, and migratory birds to move south, and discover the best times and places to witness nature’s grand seasonal transformation, including on Nat Hab’s fall adventures.
