SPECIALISTS IN NATURE TRAVEL
Unlike other companies, the only trips Natural Habitat run—the only trips they have ever run—are nature adventures, which is important when choosing a nature-focused journey. When it comes to travel, Natural Habitat are "The Nature People"—the world's nature travel experts.
UNIQUE ITINERARIES YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE
With World Wildlife Fund's top scientists and staff involved in the planning process and guide training, and with years of experience scouring the planet for the world's most captivating nature destinations, Natural Habitat possess resources and insight not available to other tour companies. Itineraries include access to private wildlife reserves, remote corners of national parks (away from tourist crowds), and distinctive lodges and camps situated where wildlife viewing is best.
GREAT GUIDES MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Natural Habitat know a successful nature adventure can only happen with an outstanding guide at the helm. That’s why they're proud to have earned the reputation for the finest naturalist Expedition Leaders on the planet! No other company undertakes as rigorous a vetting process and in-depth guide training as Natural Habitat. In addition, guides receive instruction and resources from World Wildlife Fund's team of scientists—exclusively available to Nat Hab as WWF’s travel partner.
THE SMALLEST GROUPS IN THE INDUSTRY
Can you imagine trying to walk silently along a secluded rain forest trail, careful not to disturb shy wildlife, with 20 or 30 other travelers? Or stepping ashore on a remote island to explore pristine coastal wilderness with dozens of other tourists at your side? Natural Habitat know meaningful nature encounters must take place in small groups. That's why their trips average just nine travelers, by far the smallest groups in the business. This not only guarantees you more personal close-up wildlife encounters, but a lower-impact presence on the planet's fragile natural places we love.
THE FINEST REMOTE ACCOMMODATIONS
Most companies choose large, centrally located hotels and lodges that are often overrun with hordes of tourists. Natural Habitat recognize that superb nature adventures require the quiet and seclusion of remotely located camps and lodges. Such lodgings, where luxury is defined as much by proximity to wildlife as by superlative comfort and amenities, are a key part of our mission to offer the world’s greatest nature adventures.
GUARANTEED DEPARTURES
If you've ever experienced the disappointment of having your long-awaited adventure canceled at the last minute because the tour company didn’t sell enough spaces, you’ll appreciate Natural Habitat's promise never to cancel a trip due to low enrollment. That’s right—every one of their scheduled departures is guaranteed to run. This guarantee applies to all regularly scheduled Natural Habitat Adventures departures.
NAT HAB IS THE WORLD'S FIRST 100-PERCENT CARBON NEUTRAL TRAVEL COMPANY
When you travel with Natural Habitat, they will offset 100 percent of the carbon emissions from your trip. In an effort to change the way the entire travel business operates, Natural Habitat Adventures in 2007 became the world’s first carbon-neutral travel company.
