Philosophy
"My trip with Natucate has changed something within me!"
Natucate is your expert for conscious travel and authentic nature experiences - far away from mass tourism, in harmony with people and the environment. We create access to conscious travel in wild places that connect, change and have a lasting effect.
We often visit our partners on site to gain an impression of their project. We only support real conservation work and speak out against animal breeding projects, programmes allowing direct wildlife interaction and so-called “orphanage tourism”.
We can guarantee our partners' integrity due to our trusting long-term relationship. We support them to maximise the benefit and to minimise the impact of tourism on species conservation, natural environment and animal welfare.
We aim to offer you the best possible support before, during and after your journey. You will never feel left on your own. Our comprehensive customer service provides you with individual travel preparation and gives you answers and advice at any time.
Natucate — our name intentionally combines the English words ‘nature’ and (to) ‘educate’, because it is our aim to reconcile nature and education. We offer nature tourism and voluntary service abroad and concentrate on the domains of nature conservation, environmental, and animal protection. Natucate is not only aimed at school-leavers, students and graduates looking to gain valuable experience, but also at professionals and over-50s seeking to broaden their horizons in a meaningful and unforgettable way.
Our mission:
Natucate stands for conscious travel experiences and a respectful approach to the resources of our planet - far away from mass tourism and in harmony with people and projects that make a difference. For everyone who wants to experience and understand nature and take responsibility.
As a provider of curated, nature-based journeys, Natucate offers intense experiences in the wildest places on earth. Our guests stay in nature-oriented accommodation, meet experts in species and nature conservation, and local guides, and return with an open mind, new knowledge, and a deep sense of connection.
Our vision:
A world where conscious travel and nature experiences are a matter of course. A world in which people encounter nature with respect – because they experience it, feel it and begin to understand it.
Natucate empowers people to actively contribute to the protection of our natural habitats. Through curated educational and nature trips, we promote knowledge, respect and responsibility - for a world that values and preserves ecological diversity.
In this way, Natucate creates experiences that stay with you: authentic, transformative and set in places that move and change you.
