South Africa: Vegan Safaris & Ethical Adventures

Wild Beauty. Compassionate Travel. Local Support.

Welcome to South Africa

From Big Five encounters to coastal mountains and world-class cuisine, South Africa offers some of the most diverse safari experiences on the continent — and now, you can enjoy it all 100% vegan.

Whether you're tracking rhinos in a private reserve, sipping rooibos in a Cape vineyard, or spotting elephants in Addo, our South African safaris are designed for travelers who care about animals, the planet, and what’s on their plate.

Why South Africa for Vegan Travelers?

Wild Vegan
  •  Incredible variety: Experience deserts, savannas, forests, wetlands, and mountains — all in one country.

  •  Thriving vegan food culture: From Cape Town to the bush, South Africa is a leader in plant-based innovation and awareness.

  •  Ethical wildlife experiences: We only offer safaris with no captive wildlife, no petting, and no unethical breeding facilities.

  •  Top-tier comfort or rustic charm: Choose from eco-lodges, mobile camps, or boutique guesthouses — all briefed to provide plant-based cuisine with care.

Where to Go in South Africa

Greater Kruger
South Africa’s premier wildlife destination — think lion sightings, open 4x4 game drives, and intimate lodges. Stay in vegan-friendly safari camps in Balule, Timbavati, or Klaserie reserves, with full access to Big Five sightings — minus the crowds and exploitation.

Eastern Cape & Addo
A malaria-free, family-friendly region with spectacular elephant herds, rolling hills, and coastal charm. Explore Addo Elephant Park or private reserves nearby — all accessible by road from Port Elizabeth.

Garden Route Reserves
Combine your coastal road trip with ethical wildlife encounters in reserves like Gondwana or Sanbona. Here, you'll see lions, black rhinos, and dramatic fynbos landscapes — all while enjoying plant-based hospitality.

Cape Winelands & Cederberg
Not just wine — the Cape offers ancient rock formations, wilderness lodges, and scenic escapes. Think vegan wine tasting, starlit fires, and mountain trails.

Types of Vegan Safaris in South Africa

Wild Vegan
  • Fly-In Safaris
    Fly directly into remote reserves from Johannesburg or Cape Town. Ideal for high-end escapes or travelers short on time.

  • Road transfer + Lodge Combo
    We arrange the transfers, the lodges, the meals — you enjoy the freedom. South Africa's excellent roads and infrastructure make this perfect for independent vegan travelers.

  • Vegan Group Safaris
    Join like-minded travelers on a small-group, fully plant-based safari. Great for solo travelers or those seeking community and purpose.
