Women in the Wild

“Nat Hab’s Women in the Wild adventures offer 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 its Women in the Wild series 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 in the Wild trips cultivate 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.

Departures also facilitate connections with local women in the places visited.

Women Are Champions of Conservation

Nat Hab’s Women in the Wild series 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.” 

Women in the Wild trips are available to book now for 2024 and 2025. Visit our website to view all of our Women in the Wild trips and check out our blog to read inspiring stories from our female guests, guides and writers.
