Expedition Leader (USNP- Women in the Wild Trips)

Our Expedition Leaders are the best in the business. They are highly educated, passionate about the wild places they share and interpret for our guests, and they exude an irrepressible enthusiasm that can’t help but inspire those who travel with them. As naturalists, biologists and environmental educators, their knowledge deeply enriches the experience of those who see the natural world through their eyes. While many of our guides have master’s or doctorate degrees, they are chosen for their good nature as well as their good grades. Many of our guests are veterans of global travel, sophisticated and independent, but they choose to travel with us because of our Expedition Leaders’ expertise. In the realm of nature adventure travel, our guides set us apart.

Nat Hab's Women in the Wild series features nature adventures exclusively for women travelers. Relax and be yourself, explore at your own pace, and be inspired as you learn from top women naturalist guides. Enjoy camaraderie and comfort while trying new experiences in the world's wildest places. Discover the vital roles women play in conservation. From the Arctic to Africa and beyond, encounter Earth's wild wonders in a supportive and empowering female environment. Travel solo, with friends or family members, and embrace the beauty and awe nature offers.
