Wild Women Expeditions Plans Journey through Millennia Traversing Mongolia’s Gobi Desert

Details

Released on Wednesday, 02 October 2019 10:50

CORNER BROOK, NL, CANADA, Oct. 2, 2019– For 12 days in 2020, Wild Women Expeditions will immerse women-only guests in a universe so old, so vast and so remote that the 21st century itself is at risk of seeming other-worldly.

The pioneer of women-only travel has arranged an in-depth foray into the Gobi Desert that is on the distant frontier of adventure travel. The May 13-24 and May 27-June 7, 2020, Women of the Gobi Desert Tours are one-of-a-kind itineraries that begin and end in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. This city is in the northern realms of the Gobi that spans some two-thirds of Mongolia’s southern border with China.

This is the landscape that inspired Russian composer Alexander Borodin’s symphonic poem, “In the Steppes of Central Asia.” This is the landscape once home to the united tribes of Genghis Khan’s 12th century Mongol empire. Today it is home to several endangered species, including the snow leopard, the Gobi bear, the Mongolian wild horse or Dzungarian horse, and the traditions of its people facing the challenges of a nomadic way of life that soon may become extinct.

A mission of Wild Women Expeditions is to support women, wherever possible, against the hazards of marginalization due to change. Laced through this itinerary are opportunities for visitors to see firsthand how nomadic women are managing the trajectory of change brought about by modern climate issues and by the collapse, less than 20 years ago, of the former Soviet Union. They will also be able to discuss with Gobi women their takeaways from a UNESCO project launched in 1991 to help nomadic women protect themselves from becoming marginalized due to economic ups and downs. Reads a UNESCO report: “Nomadic women, in this process, have become active earners and agents of change in the desert.”

The women of the Gobi are far from other-worldly, with feet solidly planted in work in conservation and community development and who serve as leaders in social organization. Local groups are typically led by women who are warriors of survival. Their activities have evolved over time, but a focus remains on pasture land management, nature conservation, vegetable growing, tree planting, dairy processing and social activities.

Women here are charged with shaping a better life for their families, communities and themselves. Guests meet up with one community leader among the local herder women who has reached beyond the Gobi to display her products overseas at a slow food event.

Guided by Duya, the female guide for this expedition, guests and hosts interact during a homestay with a family that herds cattle. In one of the model rural districts in Mongolia, with notable modern buildings for school, hospital and administrative buildings, a local women’s group explains how and why women expanded from solely domestic use to commercial application of their creations from sheep wool felt and camel yarn. Another visit to a women-run cooperative reveals centuries of tradition in displays of handmade garments of felt and yarn, often with embellished with colorful embroidery.

Although the economic realities around Gobi women are in flux, the desert itself remains steadfast. While traversing the desert guests learn that the most prolific indigenous plants are halophytes, plants tolerant of salts, indicating that this vast region was once a sea. Moving through ice-filled gorges and through red rock formations, they discover the story of the late Roy Chapman Andrews, one-time director of the American Museum of Natural History, whose work in the Gobi unearthed dinosaur eggs, specimens of bird-like dinosaurs (protoceratops) and even crocodiles.

Surviving millennia are petroglyphs 3,000 years old; millennia of domestic detritus dumped 750,000 years ago in caves (resulting in clumps called middens); and traditional dwellings that include yurts or gers that will be home base for guests who variously are driven on 4x4 vehicles across the landscape, or led on hikes or bounced on Bactrian camels.

Stupas and prayer flags mark monasteries destroyed in political purges along a route advancing over sand dunes known as the Singing Sands. Heading to the ancient capital of Kharkhorin (Karakorum), visitors survey Mongolia’s traditional croplands of wheat, augmented with oats and barley, potatoes and vegetables.

The per person rate for this adventure is $3,695 USD including accommodations in hotels, ger camps, homestays in the guest ger of herder families and tent camping, travel costs, meals and entry fees to museums and protected areas.

Wild Women Expeditions Takes Women’s Empowerment to New Heights in Peru

Details

Released on Tuesday, 27 August 2019 09:12

CORNER BROOK, NL, CANADA, Aug. 27 2019– Achieving women often hit the proverbial “glass ceiling.” Until recently in Peru, mountains stood in the way of women.

The pioneer of women-only travel, Wild Women Expeditions (https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/), is helping women in Peru ride a wave of change. Peruvian women can now serve as porters as well as play a leading role as guides on mountain treks on the Inca Trail.

Jennifer Haddow, owner and guiding director, says that her company’s itineraries in Peru that are guided by women will now be supported by female porters as well as led by all women guides.

“It’s a bit ironic, isn’t it, that at one point on the Inca Trail is a pass called Dead Woman’s Pass, where it was believed women could not survive. But now they are breaking barriers in their mountains and taking up their place as leaders in adventure travel,” Haddow explains.

Peru is one of many places where women lack opportunity in the growing tourism industry. Breaking the barriers of misogyny and the label of “the weaker sex” impacts the lives of the women who are entering this arena but also impacts their communities who will begin to view a new-found, female economic power these women bring to the table.

"It isn't easy for women to find work on the Inca Trail as guides or porters. Our approach is to recognize the strength and talents of Peruvian women to forge their own future; we walk in solidarity with them. We hope that there will be more opportunities for women to benefit from tourism on the Inca Trail. We are committed to bringing travelers to Peru who want to see women empowered and who respect local culture,” she says.

"In many countries we work in, women are challenged to break into the tourism industry and find leadership opportunities. Traditional community roles and family responsibilities often mean that women are unable to find work as guides. Creating leadership and employment opportunities for women is at the heart of our mission to make tourism kinder for women. All of our Wild Women tours are led by local women guides, which is core to our commitment to ensure that tourism works for women."

“Women’s leadership in adventure travel matters,” Haddow underscores. “By hiring women, we create a new foundation for hiring practices within Peru’s growing tourism sector. Women who can support themselves and their families financially are empowered in their communities. In order to create a demand for female guides and porters, it’s up to travelers to seek out socially conscious companies.”

The new porters share Haddow’s enthusiasm. “I’m excited about being a porter because I’ve spent years not earning money and spending all my time cooking at home. I’m proud to be able to provide financially. I have kids that are studying in school and need to help with their school supplies,” said Luciana.

Marlene said: I’m from Huilloc and am working as a porter for the experience of doing the Inca Trail. Many of my girlfriends want to work as porters. Financially, I will be better off to buy food and clothes.”

A Wild Women Expeditions’ tour in Peru supported by female porters is the Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu. Priced at$2,895 USD per person for eight days, there are seven departures planned for 2020 from April into October.

This video shows the local women and their guests on the trails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouV-LASN8yU

Wild Women Expeditions pioneered women-only adventure travel three decades ago. Today it offers more international itineraries than any of its competitors in the women-only sector.

But to Haddow, more important than the size of her company is its on-going, two-fold mission wrapped around the word kind: to support climate justice and to support women to take their place as leaders in the world of outdoor adventure travel. See: https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/wild-womenkind/.

“Our company is about heart. We want to change how women perceive leadership and empowerment, to value connection and compassion more than competition. Women are rising in the adventure travel industry and approaching each other and our environment with kindness. This is the key,” she adds.

Horses Become Mentors on Wild Women Expeditions’ 2020 Adventures in New Zealand

Details

Released on Tuesday, 09 July 2019 09:09

CORNER BROOK, NL, CANADA, July 9, 2019– The glacial peaks and lakes that punctuate New Zealand’s South Island will be explored on horseback on three 2020 departures of Wild Women Expeditions’ new 11-day Land of theLong White Cloud Ride (from the Maori name for New Zealand).

Adding an extra dimension to these women-only horseback riding expeditions will be a female guide who is trained in the practice of Equine Assisted Learning. The guide will help guests learn how to receive what a horse can teach its rider and how a rider can integrate these lessons into the riding experience and beyond. Forging positive relationships between horses and riders translates into self-management both on and off the horse.

“Horses have unique characteristics which contribute to a distinct human-animal interaction. They have evolved as intuitive, sensitive creatures that can be a motivator of strength and calmness,” said Jennifer Haddow, owner and guiding director of Wild Women Expeditions (www.wildwomenexpeditions.com/). “Empowering women to free themselves of fear, no matter what challenges they face, is fundamental to our travel mission, for guests and guides alike. Horses can help.”

After leaving the gateway city of Queenstown, guests meet their guide and horses at Hunter Valley Station, a 16,000-acre working ranch on Lake Hawea. The region is surrounded by Hawea Conservation Park, a rugged backcountry that is home to endangered species and the legends that came with early gold miners who were among the first foreigners to meet the indigenous Maori.

While riding away from the station, guests pass Hereford cattle and Merino sheep grazing freely and by vestiges of fishing cribs constructed by Kiwis in the 1950s. One of New Zealand’s best fly-fishing tributaries, the Hunter River, may lure riders off their horses for a few hours. Farther into the mountains, rare falcons fly high overhead the trail.

Throughout this journey, guests experience backcountry riding at its finest, with stunning high-mountain lakes and peaks chosen for each day’s discovery. One ride, for example, is to the “green lake” at 1200 meters above sea level, a wee, crystal-clear tarn, home to large trout, set in the heart of snow-covered mountain ranges. Another ride opens onto a valley filled with waterfalls and where a glacial-fed river tumbles its way over the river bed stones that the South Island is so famous for.

Trip departures in 2020 are scheduled for Jan. 6-16, Feb. 1-11, and Dec. 4-14. The per person rate of $5,295 includes

• 10 nights accommodation in high country stations (musterers huts/ shearers quarters/shared hotel accommodation/shared farmhouse) and in mountain huts;
• A winery tour and all meals (catering to all dietary requirements) prepared by guides;
• Hire of Kiwi “station bred” horses, all tack (western-style saddles, saddle bags), helmets and Drizabone coats (slickers);
• The services of professional female trip guides, drivers and other staff;
• All transportation from trip start to end including return transportation

“Respecting the special connection between women and active travel speaks to the heart of our Wild WomenKind missionto make the world a kinder place by empowering women to become leaders and change agents. We are responsible to take actions to respect cultures and the natural environment in the precious places we explore on our tours around the world,” said Haddow.

Wild Women Expeditions Pledges Part of Trip Fees in Bali to Coral Reef and Forest Restoration

Details

Released on Thursday, 13 June 2019 09:19

CORNER BROOK, NL, CANADA, June 13, 2019– The pioneer of women-only travel in 2020 will host five 11-day adventures in Bali with a portion of trip fees pledged to two ongoing projects helping to restore life to endangered coral reefs and mangrove forests.

For the Coral Plantation Social Project guests of Wild Women Expeditions will help a marine biologist transplant coral for cultivation on the ocean floor. The coral is grown at a coral farm that produces corals for the aquarium industry and for reef restoration projects.

West Bali National Park – Mangrove Tree Plantation Project underscores the importance of mangroves in Indonesia as one of the world's most viable solutions to fighting climate change. Indonesia is home to the world's largest mangrove population, housing 22.6% of all mangroves on Earth. The nation's mangroves possess the largest climate change mitigation potential in any country – about 30 million tons of carbon emissions could be reduced from avoided mangrove conversion each year, an amount that is roughly equal to New Zealand's annual carbon emissions. Mangroves also stabilize coastlines and act as important nurseries for various fish.Trip participants will go behind the scenes to see what it takes to protect and preserve this vibrant ecosystem.

These projects are integrated into Wild Women Expeditions’ Wild Womenkind (www.wildwomenkind.com) campaign. It’s a two-fold mission, wrapped around the word kind, which supports climate justice and opportunities to empower women to take their place as leaders in the world of outdoor adventure travel. All of the guides for the Bali program are female.

Some Wild Women Expeditions’destinations allow for immersions in both culture and nature. Bali is one of these. An action-packed first few days include a Balinese dance lesson, dinner with a local family, a sunrise hike up a spiritually significant mountainand time out for a walk through a rice paddy to a spa.

The per person rate of $3,495 USD includes, among others, 10 nights of resort and coastal cottage accommodations, snorkeling and optional scuba diving, picnicking on a bamboo raft, a visit to the 9th century Goa Gajah temple (Elephant Cave established as a sanctuary for Buddhist monks), biking along rice paddy terraces, soaking in a hot springs, yoga and massage. Also included are equipment for activities, most meals (10 breakfasts and seven lunches and dinners), airport transfers and ground transportation and the services of an English-speaking, local female trip leader. On a free day at Svarga Loka Resort guests can indulge in yoga and massage, and explore Ubud, Bali’s center for traditional crafts and dance.

Scheduled departures in 2020 are; May 3-13, June 14-24, July 5-15, September 6-16, and October 4-14.

New Trip from Wild Women Expeditions Digs into Eruptions, Invasions to Discover Secrets of Sicily’s Wild Side

Details

Released on Thursday, 23 May 2019 10:32

 CORNER BROOK, NL, CANADA, May 23, 2019– Wild Women Expeditions, the global pioneer and leader in women-only travel, explores a complex mix of topography, mythology and history that is Sicily, a Mediterranean island about the size of Massachusetts.

New for 2019 is a nine-day Secrets of Sicily Multisport Adventure that departs September 16-24. 2019.

“The secret side of Sicily is in discovering moments of gentle beauty,” explains Jennifer Haddow, owner and guiding Director. “One moment we’re marveling at classic ruins and old-world architecture; the next we’re hiking to the crater of an active volcano.”

This trip begins to answer such questions as: Where does the waiter get his red hair? Probably from the Normans who took over from the Moors. Why were the Phoenicians here? Trading and trying to forget Grecians nipping at their heels. Who or what is really in charge? Perhaps ever-ready Mt. Etna. Or do the one-eyed Cyclopes still hold sway?

Moments of gentle beauty occur while…

• Probing Sicily’s wild side evidenced by eons of seismic activity;
• Cycling beside dry-stone walls to a wine tasting and a picnic splashed with local olive oil. (UNESCO recently included the technique of the dry-stone walls as human heritage.);
• Kayaking around Vulcano, one of eight islands in the volcanic Aeolian chain;
• Relaxing in the tranquil hospitality of Masseria Cianciò, a family-run country inn and representative of Sicily’s agriturismo that helps to sustain an agricultural economy;
• Meeting assorted volcanos including active Etna herself (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Monte Fossa Delle Felci where the border of the old volcanic crater is completely covered by forest. Walking into lava caves on Vulcano and through lava domes and obsidian lava flows on Lipari Island, the largest of the Aeolians made famous by the movie Stromboli.

The rate is $4,695 per person, shared occupancy. Included are:

• Nine nights of shared accommodation (ensuite bathroom) and breakfasts;
• Some lunches and dinners, tips for servers included;
• Female Trip Leader
• Tips for drivers, boat operators and others;
• Services of local female guides;
• Use of kayaks and hybrid bike, helmet, preloaded GPS;
• Tickets for hydrofoil and boat excursions 
• Van support and luggage transfers.

Wild Women Expeditions Sets Sights on 2020: Transformative Trips in 30 Countries to Honor its 30th Anniversary

Details

Released on Thursday, 25 April 2019 09:35

CORNER BROOK, NL, Canada, April 25, 2019– Wild Women Expeditions, the visionary leader of women-only adventure travel, just announced that it will host trips in 30 separate countries over its 30th anniversary year in 2020.

“We’re riding high on a global tidal wave of interest in women-only adventure travel,” underscored Jennifer Haddow, owner and director. “In just a decade we’ve gone from hosting Canada-only trips to having multi-day programs in 30 countries!”

This geographic expansion also means that Wild Women Expeditions can spread its mission of empowering women worldwide. The company employs only women to assist its programs, in the office and in the field. It is Haddow’s hope and the company’s mission to empower not only women guests but also local female guides and leaders.

“We want women guides in 30 diverse countries to reap the rewards of being part of the adventure travel industry, as all our Wild Women tour leaders are local women. We are raising the bar for women to be employed as guides in areas that have long excluded them, such as in Morocco, Bhutan and Indonesia.Our hope is that these guides will go on to become leaders in the adventure travel arenas of their countries,” said Haddow.

Some of the many ways Wild Women Expeditions impacts women in other countries include

• Opening more employment opportunities for women
• Promoting and training for female leadership positions
• Providing insights and methods for personal empowerment
• Using veteran female guides who are opening the doors for other fierce females in the tourism sector.

“We align ourselves with partners and female guides wherever possible in order to help create employment opportunities and to empower women by creating an independent working environment,” Haddow explains. This outreach and impact can be especially meaningful in remote mountain cultures where communities are often locked into traditional mores. For example, one of the leaders of Wild Women tours in Morocco is the first woman in the country to be certified as a mountain guide: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-africa-47362322/i-am-morocco-s-first-female-mountain-guide

Two new trips for 2020 will help Wild Women Expeditions empower and promote women’s leadership in the mountains of Nepal and Peru.

In Nepal, the 18-day Annapurna Himalayan Haven Trek blazes new routes (away from the busy teahouse trails) that offer some of the best hiking in the Annapurna massif. This cluster of 30 mountains (most over 7000 meters) is flanked by a gorge, a river and the Pokhara Valley. In the gateway city of Kathmandu, guests are introduced to Buddhist stupas and sacred temples of the Hindu faith that will mark their forward journey into the Pokhara Valley. In this valley come the first views of Machapuchare (Fish Tail) with an elevation of nearly 23,000 feet. These views are a magnet that compels visitors to want to get ever closer to the spirit of these mountains. The destination of the slow trek up to the Machapuchare is Annapurna Base Camp where 360-degree views will be seared into memories.

Rhododendrons color the forests where langur monkeys play and yak herds graze. Families in Gurung (an indigenous nationality in Nepal) villages share their homes and hospitality en route to the camp. Guests may experience planting or harvesting crops and learn the basics of weaving at a loom and how to cook traditional dishes. A highlight is a visit with The Gurung Weavers who are sponsored by the Women’s Skills Development Organization (WSDO). The extraordinary skills of these weavers, who contributed to the launch of the textile trade in Nepal, are a valuable source of income for their communities. (The WSDO is a non-profit, fair trade organization that has been working since 1975 to empower women who face social and economic hardships.)

Departures in 2020 are April 21-May 8 and Oct. 21- Nov. 7. The per person rate is $2,995 (USD). For details see: https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/annapurna-himalayan-haven-trek/

In Peru, the 11-day Colca Canyon Riding Adventure brings guests into the gateway city of Arequipa, a colonial-era paradise of white buildings and excellent cuisine. This city, second only to Lima in size, offers museums, markets and workshops showcasing traditional crafts. Guests visit a leather saddle workshop where they are introduced to tack that will be used on the journey.

Day Two brings a meet-up in the high Andean plains at a traditional ranch with mountain guides and novo-Andino cooks. This local, all-female team will lead riders mounted on surefooted Peruvian horses into Colca Canyon, one of the world’s deepest canyons, en route introducing them to archaeological sites, encounters with local artisans and breaks at natural hot springs. Each rider will primarily ride a dedicated horse during this journey, allowing for a true bond and connection to evolve.

Riding through rock formations called “stone cathedrals” brings the canyon to life before emerging onto a ridge above the Colca River and riding across cattle ranges. In Sibayo, a village famous for its beautiful pebble-laid streets and traditional straw-roofed houses, guests are introduced to alpaca and sheep wool handling and traditional Andean weaving. Still, in the mountains, riders move on to another village with exceptionally beautiful Incan agricultural terraces. Another visit is to Uyo Uyo, a well-preserved pre-Incan village that served as the control point for the peoples of the entire Colca Valley. 

Traditional foods, cooking classes, meet-ups with a women’s embroidery collective creating traditional Colcan clothing and an optional camp-out add textures to this journey. An immersion in the habits and habitats of the world’s largest raptor, the Andean condor, an endangered species, helps Wild Women Expeditions share its mission for preserving the environmental health of the planet.

Departures in 2020 are April 29-May 9, June 17-27, October 7-17 and November 3-12. The per person rate is $3,995 (USD). For details see https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/colca-canyon-riding-adventure/

“Respecting the special connection between women and wildlife speaks to the heart of our Wild WomenKind mission to make the world a kinder place by empowering women to become leaders and change agents. We are responsible to take actions to protect wildlife in the precious places we explore on our tours around the world,” said Haddow.

Wild Women Expeditions Joins Jane Goodall In Earth Day 2019 Plea: Protect Our Species

Details

Released on Tuesday, 02 April 2019 09:49

CORNER BROOK, NL, Canada, April 2, 2019– The cri du couer for Earth Day 2019 on April 22 is Protect Our Species.

This pledge is built into the DNA of the largest women’s travel company in the world, Wild Women Expeditions, as they launch a global campaign to help protect endangered species.

“Respecting the special connection between women and wildlife is the heart of our Wild Womenkind campaign to make the world a kinder place for animals. On Earth Day we are raising the call to protect threatened wildlife in the precious places we explore on our adventure tours around the world,” said Jennifer Haddow, owner and director of Wild Women Expeditions (https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/). “Empowering women to become leaders and change agents is critical to sustaining the conservation movement worldwide.”

An example of a woman who inspires as she leads is Jane Goodall. “She embodies the kindness and devotion that is so needed in the world if we hope to avoid the extinction of many endangered species and decimation of our wilderness habitats. Our partnerships with the Jane Goodall Institute, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation and other community based organizations are central to our WildWomenkind campaign, as we raise funds and awareness of critical wildlife issues in communities where we travel,” Haddow added.

Wild Women Expeditions will honor Jane Goodall’s 85th birthday on April 3, 2019, by joining the Jane Goodall Institute Forever Wild campaign and donating 100 percent of the profits from Wild Women’s Tanzania Trek and Safari adventure program in 2019 in support of their campaigns to stop wildlife trafficking. See: https://janegoodall.ca/join-us/campaign/foreverwild/

Other Wild Women Expeditions’ commitments directed to protecting species include:

Orangutans

A new trip for 2019, Untamed Indonesia, delves into one of the world’s oldest (140 million years) rainforests located on the world’s third largest island, Borneo. This is the traditional home of a great ape native to Asia and whose numbers are dwindling apace with habitat slashed and burned for paper pulp and to clear land for palm oil production. Wild Women Expeditions actively supports the work of BOS, the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation. See: http://orangutan.or.id/

Tortoises

Galapagos Islands Multisport Adventure brings Wild Women Expeditions’ guests in close proximity to restore tortoise populations to their historical distribution and numbers across the Galapagos. They are under threat of extinction here, as are Waved Albatross whose only breeding site is on Española Island in the Galapagos. Also facing endangered status here are Green Sea Turtles and Land Iguana. Haddow’s company is a member of the Galapagos Conservancy that conducts projects with the Galapagos National Park Directorate to halt the extinction of these species. See: https://www.galapagos.org/conservation/our-work/tortoise-restoration/

Elephants

On its Elephants, Treks, and Temples Tour, Wild Women Expeditions supports an elephant project run by the Karen Hill Tribe women to protect elephants that had been abused in an exploitative riding camp. Haddow’s company helps fund the first elephant hospital in Thailand and it supports the campaign of the Asian Captive Elephant Working group, a leading coalition of elephant experts and conservationists. For an informative video please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl-AxWDkniU&t=1s.

Tigers

Wild Women Expeditions’ India: Jungles and Jewels Adventure invites women to see how tourism is one of the last hopes for tigers to escape the critically endangered species list. By using women-only guides on all company itineraries, Haddow hopes to empower these guides to become leaders in adventure travel and conservation efforts in their home countries. In India, Wild Women Expeditions is part of the TOFT tigers program and helps fund a community program to stop poaching. See: http://toftigers.org/TOFT/village-wildlife-guardians

Climate

Important to Wild Women Expeditions’ commitment to supporting wildlife is helping to sustain and restore wilderness regions where endangered species abound. The Great Bear Rainforest Kayak Adventure showcases the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia. Here the company’s focus is on climate justice. It is investing in a conservation economy through a planned contribution of $10,000 to this valuable resource in 2019 by purchasing carbon offsets. The company will donate offsets on all of its domestic flights on all trips including staff travel. The primary recipient will be the Great Bear Forest Carbon Project. Clients are invited to donate to Offsetters.

Wild Women Expeditions Asks Women to Help Protect Planet; Launches Wild Womenkind Campaign

Details

Released on Thursday, 28 February 2019 10:19

New Initiative is in Honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2019

CORNER BROOK, NL, CANADA, Feb. 28, 2019– Wild Women Expeditions is launching a new campaign, Wild Womenkind (www.wildwomenexpeditions.com/wild-womenkind/), in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2019.

This company that pioneered women-only adventure travel today offers more international itineraries than any of its competitors in the women-only sector.

But to Jennifer Haddow, owner and guiding director, more important than the size of her company is its on-going, two-fold mission wrapped around the word kind: to support climate justice and to support women to take their place as leaders in the world of outdoor adventure travel.

Climate Justice

Wild Womenkind’s initial campaign focuses on the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia. Wild Women Expeditions will invest in a conservation economy through a planned contribution of $10,000 to this valuable resource and by purchasing carbon offsets. The company will donate offsets on all of its domestic flights on all trips including staff travel. It will invite clients to offset and make a donation to Offsetters.

The primary recipient will be the Great Bear Forest Carbon Project. The setting is a temperate rainforest of 1,000-year-old Western red cedar and Sitka spruce that spans the Pacific Coast of British Columbia and is part of the world’s largest remaining, pristine, coastal, temperate rainforest. Here, too, are the traditional (since 7190 BCE) territories of the Heiltsuk First Nation. The forest teems with life, including the Spirit (Kermode) Bear, a white (thanks to a recessive gene) relative of the American black bear that also resides here, along with cougars and wolves. In the surrounding water are flitting dolphins and the blowing mists of humpback whales. (For details see Great Bear Rainforest Kayak Adventure, an eight-day kayaking and camping journey with July 8 and July 15 departures in 2019.See https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/great-bear-british-columbia/

"Our adventure in the Great Bear Rainforest celebrates the spirit of the international campaign to bring attention to this endangered coastline and its iconic wildlife. If we want to see precious places like this protected, we need to go there and enjoy them and show the world their tremendous value,” said Haddow. “We support the end to the trophy bear hunt and making sure that threatened species such as sea wolves are targeted in a positive way by tourism."

The campaign also celebrates a new IMAX film, “Great Bear Rainforest: Land of the Spirit Bear.” This 41-minute film debuted on Feb. 15, 2019. 

Women Rising

In such diverse countries as Morocco and Thailand, Wild Women Expeditions’ outreach to women – as guests on trips, as guides on these trips, as workers in their communities – is making a difference in the lives of the women themselves.

The key is empowerment that can lead women to taking on leadership positions. For example, two itineraries being introduced this year focus on the Berber culture of the women of Morocco. Morocco is known for being one of the most progressive states in the Middle East and North because of its support for women’s rights. Despite these advancements, women’s education in Morocco still lags behind and over 80% of women are illiterate. By casting Moroccan women as, among others, drivers and guides for these trips, Haddow hopes that both guests and locals will be empowered.

“On our Morocco tour we put the stories of women in the spotlight while empowering them with opportunities to benefit from tourism and play a leading role,” she said.

Wild Women Expeditions tours in Morocco will help empower women by:

• Working with a female Berber entrepreneur who owns the transportation company for these tours and who hires female drivers;
• Engaging Berber Moroccan women as tour leaders are hiring female guides;
• Supporting trek guide training for Moroccan women;
• Visiting women's cooperatives where locally made items are sold;
• Basing in a riad in Marrakech that employs women trained by the Amal Centre for disadvantaged women (http://amalnonprofit.org/);
• Conversing over a women-hosted dinner in Casablanca through Al Hidn, an association that empowers illiterate widow women in rebuilding their lives through a series of educational programs as well as providing them with financial and educational support to keep their kids in school;
• Supporting the Henna Café, asocial enterprise project for women in Marrakech;
• Using accommodations that reflect the company’s commitment to women's empowerment, such as the Kasbah Toubkhal that co-founded the Education for All program for girls’ education (an additional 5% of the revenue from a group stay here is donated to this local project);
• Donating to the Education for All campaign as a project partner;
• Being mindful of the environment – through women – with an overnight at an eco lodge owned by a local woman and part of an ecotourism initiative focused on empowering local women in the Riff: See: http://www.gitetalassemtane.com/en/qui-sommes-nous/

For details on two itineraries being offered see:

and https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/mosiac-of-wild-morocco/

Wild Womenkind extends a hand to both women and wildlife. On Elephants, Treks, and Temples Tour (https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/thailand-elephants/) Wild Women Expeditions supports an elephant project run by the Karen Hill Tribe women to protect elephants that had been abused in an exploitative riding camp. The company is a funder of the first elephant hospital in Thailand and it supports the campaign of the Asian Captive Elephant Working group, a leading coalition of elephant experts and conservationists. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl-AxWDkniU&t=1s

“Our company is about heart. We want to change how women perceive leadership and empowerment, to value connection and compassion more than competition. Women are rising in the adventure travel industry and approaching each other and our environment with kindness is the key.” Haddow added.

Wild Women Expeditions Introduces Croatia’s Nature and Culture in Two Distinct Itineraries for 2019

Details

Released on Thursday, 17 January 2019 12:14

CORNER BROOK, NL, Canada, Jan. 17, 2019– Across the Adriatic Sea from Italy is a sun-splashed shoreline that marks Croatia, sometimes known as Dalmatia. Here in 2019,Wild Women Expeditions will host multiple departures of two new, distinct itineraries that embrace the blue waters and high-altitude wilderness of this secret Riviera.

Kaleidoscopic Croatian Multisport is a 13-day active immersion in nature and culture that promises up to six hours of hiking or four hours each of paddling and cycling most days. Departures in 2019 are May 23, Sept. 1, Sept 22 and Oct.13. The per person (double occupancy) rateof$4,695 includes:

• 12 nights shared accommodations in locally owned hotels and guesthouses
• All breakfasts and lunches and some dinners
• Ground transportation from Zagreb to Dubrovnik
• Airport transfers on Day 13
• All equipment required for activities outlined in the itinerary
• All national park or entrance fees required to deliver the activities
• English-speaking female lead guide plus support staff

This itinerary begins in Croatia’s capital city, Zagreb, before departing for Kopački Rit Nature Park on the Croatian-Serbian border. During a homestay,guests will prepare dinner and perhaps hear stories about the history of what life was like in Tito’s Yugoslavia before the Balkan states erupted into being in the early 1990s.

Croatia’s pride and joy are its national and nature parks. Kopački Rit Nature Park on the Danube floodplainis dubbed the European Amazon for its rich biodiversity and abundance of bird and wildlife. After exploring this wildest side of Croatia, the itinerary weaves through the mountains, tracing vestiges of Celtic and Roman civilizations en routeto Dubrovnik. After hiking in Papuk Nature Park, guests will finish the day by arriving in Samobor to enjoy dinner and kremsnite, a puff pastry with custard cream unique to these high altitudes. Guests will further explore the Sambor Highlands before embarking on a hiking tour the following day through Plitvice Lakes National Park, home to over 16 lakes that cascade from one to the next.

Leaving mountains behind, guests arrive in Split, a 1700-year-old city with the palace of a Roman emperor, Diocletian, dating from 4th century AD. Guests roll up their sleeves to play with clay, making souvenirs with natural elements and tools. Swimming, snorkelingand kayaking follow an overnight on Hvar, one of the countless islands in this region. Guests will then sail to Vis, an island that until 25 years ago housed the largest military base in the former Yugoslavia alongside traditional Dalmatian stone villages, many abandoned.

Before touring Dubrovnik comes a day on bicycles past vineyards, farms and dwellings scarred by war from 1991-1995. A local family hosts a dinner with homemade breadand cheeses, local wines and prosek. They’llprobably embroider stories of the war for independence in the conversation, embroidery that replaces the colorfulhand-stitched garments once worn here and that underscores the fragile cultures and customs.Dubrovnik residents in the early 1990s survived for six months on just bread and water as houses and shops were shelled inside 14th-centurywalls. Today’s Dubrovnik is a high-energy destination. For more details on this itinerary please see https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/kaleidoscopic-croatian-multisport/

Kornati Islands Kayak Adventure is a 10-night itinerary offered in 2019 on June 12 and Sept.12 departures. The per person rate is $4,495 USD for:

• 10-nightaccommodations in small hotels, fisherman guest houses, self-catering apartment and on sailboats
• All meals
• Single or double sea kayaks, the use of skirts, paddles PFD’s, paddling jackets, dry bags and all safety gear
• Ground and sea transportation from Zadar to Split
• English-speaking female certified sea kayak guide(s);
• All national park or entrance fees

The adventure begins in Zadar on the Dalmatian coast between Split (north) and Dubrovnik (south). This ancient center combines 8th-century religious art with Roman artifacts and Sea Organ, an installation that captures the music of the waves.

One of the least accessible places in Croatia is Kornati National Park that exposes a jagged coastline with a rich submarine eco-system, natural beauty and interesting geomorphology. Guests paddle by bottlenose dolphins and slow-but-lovable loggerhead sea turtles through a labyrinth of small islands, reefs and islets that make up 12 percent of all the islands in the Croatian Adriatic. Cliffs drop steeply to the sea that supports families of fisherfolk who offer hospitality over home-made meals. Written documents from the 10th century confirm one island’s fishing tradition of 1000 years.

In the Šibenik archipelago, a sailboat lends support for an open-sea crossing to a community of 249 islands, of which only six are inhabited. An undiscovered jewel on this archipelago is Zlarin, where, since the 14th century, islanders have been diving for colorful sea corals. A sea paddle to Krka National Park reveals a karst phenomenon with seven travertine waterfalls, numerous endemic endangered species, and over 1000 plant and 225 bird species. Speleology lovers are drawn to some 40 grottoes and pits; others to medieval fortresses, harbingers of the bustle of civilization that lies ahead in the farewell city of Split. For details please see https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/kornati-islands-kayak-adventure/.

Wild Women Expeditions Designs Two Women-Only Itineraries to Morocco to Help Empower Berber Women

Details

Released on Thursday, 13 December 2018 10:36

CORNER BROOK, NL, CANADA, Dec. 13, 2018 -- Wild Women Expeditions, the leader in women-only adventures, takes immersive travel to another level with new-for-2019 itineraries of 10 and 15 days that delve into the Berber culture of the women of Morocco.

Some 30 percent of Moroccans speak Berber; the national language is Arabic. The Berber culture originated along the Nile, spreading into today’s North Africa that includes Morocco. Morocco is known for being one of the most progressive states in the Middle East and North because of its support for women’s rights. Despite these advancements, women’s education in Morocco still lags behind and over 80% of women are illiterate.

Berber women of Morocco will help to unravel their story and culture on women-only trips across Morocco, enroute sharing such secrets as how to maneuver the labyrinth of a medina (old city), find their way into the wilderness of the Rif mountain range and learn the art of making tagine.

By casting Moroccan women as, among others, drivers and guides for these trips, Jennifer Haddow hopes that both guests and locals will be empowered. She is the owner of Wild Women Expeditions that pioneered worldwide women-only travel.

“Wild Women Expeditions gives our guests the opportunity to empower themselves amongst other women, connect with the natural world and make a positive impact in the communities we explore,” says Haddow.

She notes that Berber women in Morocco, as are women in many other cultures, are too often cast as the memory keepers. “As travelers we love when they share their traditions in colorful ways. But this sharing can be a double-edged sword for women who may be left out of leadership opportunities in the tourism industry,” said Haddow. “On our Morocco tour we put the stories of women in the spotlight while empowering them with opportunities to benefit from tourism and play a leading role.”

Wild Women Expeditions tours in Morocco will help dull this sword and empower women by...

• Working with a female Berber entrepreneur who owns the transportation company for these tours and who hires female drivers;
• Engaging Berber Moroccan women as tour leaders are hiring female guides;
• Supporting trek guide training for Moroccan women;
• Visiting women's cooperatives where locally made items are sold;
• Basing in a riad in Marrakech that employs women trained by the Amal Centre for disadvantaged women (http://amalnonprofit.org/);
• Conversing over a women-hosted dinner in Casablanca through Al Hidn, an association that empowers illiterate widow women in rebuilding their lives through a series of educational programs as well as providing them with financial and educational support to keep their kids in school;
• Supporting the Henna Café, asocial enterprise project for women in Marrakech;
• Using accommodations that reflect the company’s commitment to women's empowerment, such as the Kasbah Toubkhal that co-founded the Education for All program for girls’ education (an additional 5% of the revenue from a group stay here is donated to this local project);
• Being mindful of the environment – through women – with an overnight at an eco lodge owned by a local woman and part of an ecotourism initiative focused on empowering local women in the Riff: http://www.gitetalassemtane.com/en/qui-sommes-nous/;

The 10-day itinerary, Medina to Mountains of Northern Morocco, begins with a welcome dinner at Rick’s Café (from the movie Casablanca). The days that follow blend mosques, medinas, handicraft workshops, horseback riding and hiking in the Rif Mountains, a hammam (spa) and a world-famous botanical garden. The $3,495 rate includes accommodation for nine nights, all meals, private vehicle, driver, English-speaking guide and local guides, airport transfers. For more information see: https://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/medinas-to-mountains-northern-morocco/

The 15-day program, Mosaic of Wild Morocco, focuses on Morocco’s wild beauty from the dunes of the Sahara to the Atlas Mountains and on to the beaches of the Atlantic. Trekking by camel, dining with nomads, sleeping under a canopy of stars in Sahara luxury dune camp, draping the body with flowers of henna, chattering with Barbary macaque and indulging in a hammam are just a few of the many experiences in store. The nearly all-inclusive rate of $3,995 includes guided horseback riding, cycling and trekking, plus in-home meals with Berber families and cooking demonstrations.
