Botswana: Africa’s Untamed Vegan Safari Paradise
Explore Wild Botswana. Travel with Compassion.
Welcome to Botswana
Welcome to Botswana — where nature reigns, wildlife thrives, and ethical travel meets unforgettable beauty. For plant-based travelers, Botswana is more than just a safari destination — it’s a sanctuary for both animals and mindful explorers.​​
Why Botswana for Vegan Travelers?
-
Eco-Friendly by Design
Botswana is a global leader in sustainable tourism. Its low-impact travel model protects wildlife and natural habitats while ensuring that tourism remains personal, meaningful, and respectful. -
Home to Iconic Wildlife
This is where elephants walk in ancient herds, lions still hunt on open savannas, and endangered wild dogs thrive. Botswana is one of the few places left where animals still roam wild. -
Vegan-Friendly Experiences
All safaris we offer include fully vegan or vegetarian cuisine — thoughtfully prepared, nutrient-rich, and tailored to your preferences. No compromises. Just wholesome, satisfying meals in the middle of the wild.
Where to Go in Botswana
-
Okavango Delta
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth. Glide silently through narrow channels in a mokoro, watch elephants bathe at sunset, and enjoy a plant-based picnic on a remote island. -
Moremi & Khwai
Ideal for game drives and big cat sightings, this region is alive with biodiversity. Private mobile camps can be set up here, offering comfort, seclusion, and fully vegan bush dining. -
Savute (Savuti)
A land of dramatic contrasts — where ancient migration routes and predator-rich floodplains create some of the most intense wildlife interactions in Botswana. Famous for its lion and hyena rivalries, Savute is wild, remote, and utterly captivating. Whether you fly in or arrive via mobile safari, vegan-friendly bush meals await between thrilling game drives. -
Central Kalahari Desert
Meet the San Bushmen, walk ancient animal trails, and stargaze under vast desert skies. It’s a raw, minimalist landscape with profound stillness — and perfect for travelers who want to disconnect from the world. -
Chobe Riverfront
Famous for its massive elephant herds and scenic sunsets, Chobe is ideal for photographic safaris, boat cruises, and observing animals from the water’s edge — all from a comfortable vegan base camp or lodge.
Types of Vegan Safaris in Botswana
-
Private Mobile Safaris
Travel with your own guide, sleep in exclusive private mobile camps, and enjoy plant-based meals cooked fresh at every private site by your private chef. On your private mobile safari you can dictate how long you go on game drives, tailor made trips depending on your needs and budget. We have different levels, from Full Luxury Glamping in the wild, to more adventurous trips. -
Fly-In Lodge Safaris
Fly between remote lodges by bush plane — no long drives, just stunning views and exceptional locations. Vegan menus are confirmed with every lodge in advance. You can choose between 5 star lodges, or go the more budget friendly route. We can also combine this with a few nights on a mobile safari if you would like. -
Add Vic Falls or even Cape Town
We can add Victoria Falls to your trip, or even maybe spend a few nights in Cape Town and do a vegan wine tour.
Lelobu Safaris based in Botswana and with a sister company in South Africa, offers a range of vegan and vegetarian safari options to suit all budgets, from luxury 5-star trips to more affordable old-style camping adventures
