Our Women\u2019s Journeys bring together like-minded travelers for inspiring adventures, forging deep connections in the wild.<\/p>\n<p>As Nat Hab\u2019s new president, I\u2019m proud of these transformative experiences. I\u2019ve witnessed their magic firsthand\u2014like sharing the northern lights with a group of incredible women in Churchill, Manitoba.<\/p>\n<p>Led by expert women Expedition Leaders, these journeys combine a love for nature with the thrill of discovery. Encounter polar bears in the Canadian Arctic, witness brown bear mothers nursing their cubs in Alaska, hear the hum of monarch butterfly wings in Mexico, or search for the Big Five on safari in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>But these trips are about more than wildlife\u2014they foster meaningful connections. Whether you travel solo or with loved ones, you\u2019ll find camaraderie and a chance to recharge among supportive women, free from daily burdens.<\/p>\n<p>We also honor pioneering women in conservation, learning from researchers, explorers, and community leaders shaping our understanding of the wild. We celebrate the resilience of female animals, from elephant matriarchs to devoted beluga mothers.<\/p>\n<p>Nat Hab\u2019s founder, Ben Bressler, credits his mother, Rosalind &#8220;Rozie&#8221; Bressler, for inspiring his journey.
