About

Natacha Wauquiez
Founder
Hi, I’m Natacha Wauquiez, founder of Nature Connexion. When I was a kid growing up in France, I was passionate about animals and the African wilderness and ethology (study of animal behaviour). That science led me to generate interest in human psychology and personal development.
I thought my African interest would fade away as I became an adult and started working, but it only got stronger and grew into a deep longing. Then one day I chose to follow my heart, so I grabbed a suitcase and flew to South Africa – and I’ve never looked back.
Since then I have learned everything I could about running a tourism and hospitality business, I have worked in lodge management and tour guiding throughout South Africa and deepened my knowledge of Southern Africa through travels – nothing equals an African sunset !
I also became an Energy Psychology practitioner, studying EFT and Matrix Reimprinting… www.eftsense.com.
Now all of these threads work together – nature, wilderness, personal development and healing. My joy and purpose is to connect people together and to create opportunities for transcendent, life-changing experiences in the fabulous treasure of our wilderness parks and reserves. I find it profoundly rewarding to witness people being simultaneously awed and empowered by mother Nature while experiencing beautiful transformation, and embrace the life they always wanted.
An Ally and Transformer of the TTC, Nature Connexion helps pioneer the world of transformational and regenerative travel. Because You are the change you want to see in the world.
We are based in Hoedspruit, the main safari hub of Limpopo province in South Africa. Contact us now and let’s co-create together your transformative retreat or workshop event (PS.. we speak four languages – English, French, Spanish and good knowledge of Portuguese, so don’t be shy to send us a message).

Our Vision
The world is in crisis. It’s not just about the poverty, climate change, and conflict we see on the news, it’s about our daily lives where we struggle with information overload, social disconnection and jobs that keep us alive but fail to feed the soul.
Throughout history a trusted remedy for a malaise of the spirit has been to go into nature and allow the simplicity and beauty of the natural word to reconnect us with our essence. But now even that is under threat. Pollution, global warming, overpopulation have a direct negative effect on our fragile ecosystems. Travel and mass tourism are part of the problem. The solution for conscious and caring people would be to stay home and not travel at all. But this itself is unsustainable. We need to change our way of traveling completely to make a deep long-lasting impact and reverse the damages caused to our planet. It is about leaving places even better than we have found them, that implicates a radical and transformational way of doing things.
We NEED Nature and the world’s great parks and reserves need us if they are to continue to flourish.

The solution is not less connection
it is MORE connection – just
in a different way.

A new way of
exploring the world
With this firmly in mind, we have partnered with leading international movements in the field of responsible and regenerative tourism to build a new world of travel – one that gives back to nature as much as it receives.
While sustainable tourism tries to limit the negative effects of travel and ensure that the current system survives into the future – regenerative travel has a bolder vision that aims not only to do less harm but to actively restore the harm that has already been done. It builds rather than just sustains.

The parks, lodges and other establishments we work with all support ethical business practices centred on social responsibility and the conservation of both wilderness and human habitats. They either build schools, plant trees and support local entrepreneurs while conserving the wilderness ecosystems around them. These businesses play an active role in the transformation that the world needs, restoring what has been lost and creating beneficial economies that enable conscious travellers to once again venture far from home on journeys of discovery and connection.
