Katie Adamson Conservation Fund & Madi Ort
Brazil: Jaguar and Callatrichid Conservation Expedition
Wildlife. Conservation. Community.​
​
Join Madi Ort, the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund, and the Zululand Conservation Trust for a women-only expedition into the heart of South Africa’s conservation landscape.
This is an opportunity to go beyond the safari experience and step into the work behind it. Spend time alongside conservationists and local partners, learn about the challenges and successes of protecting South Africa’s wildlife, experience the landscape firsthand, and connect with a community of women who share a curiosity about the natural world.
Come for the adventure. Leave with a deeper understanding of conservation and a community to carry it forward.
Who is This For?
You might be:
-
An aspiring conservationist looking for your first field experience
-
A student interested in wildlife or environmental careers
-
A zookeeper, educator, researcher, or conservation professional
-
Someone who wants to learn more about conservation firsthand
-
An experienced traveler looking for a more meaningful adventure
-
Simply a woman who loves wildlife and wants to understand the work behind protecting it
​
You don't have to know exactly where you fit in conservation yet. That's part of the journey.
Come Curious. Leave Connected.
This expedition is about more than checking South Africa off your travel list.
​
It's about meeting the people doing the work, experiencing conservation firsthand, asking better questions, and finding your own way to participate.

Your Expedition Leader
Madi Ort |
Madi has spent the past decade working with wildlife and traveling into the field alongside conservation organizations and researchers across Africa, Central and South America, and Asia. Her goal isn't simply to show people wild places, but to help them understand the science, people, challenges, and opportunities behind conservation.
​
For this expedition, she'll be leading the KACF group and helping participants connect their travel experience with the bigger conservation story.
​
A few fun facts about Madi:
-
This will be her third expedition in Africa
-
7th expedition with the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund
-
She loves a good adventure, especially when it gets me off the beaten path
-
Allergy-friendly travel is one of her specialties, so I’m very familiar with navigating food allergies and dietary restrictions while traveling internationally

Conservation With a Purpose
This expedition is made possible through the work of the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund and Zululand Conservation Trust, organizations working alongside conservation partners in South Africa.
​
Rather than simply visiting a place, participants will have the opportunity to better understand the conservation work happening there, the people involved, and the complexities that come with protecting wildlife and wild spaces.
​
Travel can be more than seeing the world. It can also be a way to understand it and support the people working to protect it.​
