This luxury vegan safari includes both Botswana and Kenya in a smorgasbord of Luxury safari camps that have gone to great lengths to create plant based/vegan meals and snacks while on your Africa vegan safari.

Botswana:

The one camp used for this safari is one of the remotest camps within the pristine Okavango Delta the worlds largest inland Delta.

Why use this camp? One word answer Lions who have learned to operate in water thereby creating possibly the biggest and strongest lions on the continent.

Located deep within the Kalahari Basin, the Okavango Delta is some times referred to as the ‘jewel’ of the Kalahari.

Its remarkable that deep within the Kalahari the Okavango even exists at all.

The Okavango Delta was named as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa in 2013 and in 2014, it became a UNESCO World Heritage list.

The other Botswana camp used is in another location and here Leopards will be the focus while wild dogs cheetahs and lions may show as well as this area is rich in wildlife that also has some of the uncommon animals such as African wild dogs, roan and sable.

The camp is located on the private 130,000-hectare (320,000-acre) Selinda Reserve. The Selinda Reserve links Botswana’s Okavango Delta with the Linyanti waterways, and every area of the camp offers stunning views over the Zibadianja Lagoon, the source of the Savuti Channel.

Kenya:

Your vegan Kenya safari will be located in a private concession.

ol Donyo Lodge is located on over 111,000 hectares of private land in the heart of the Chyulu Hills, set between Kenya’s Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks, that is well known as having spectacular scenery and large concentrations of wildlife.

The land is owned by 4,000 local Maasai  and the lodge  consider the community our partners as there are financial benefits beyond the lease fees we pay that go to them for teachers and for scholars.

Other community projects are strategically designed to uplift our communities based on wildlife conservation, tourism and local tribal collaborative conservation.

As a result they are having excellent conservation success stories regarding lions, cheetahs and the icon bull elephants that are some of the last remaining large tuskers in Africa.

All your meals and snacks while on the game drives during this Luxury big cat safari will be on a vegan basis.

While in Botswana you will have 2 x guided open jeep safaris per day. Each game drive will last about 3hours’ish dependent on what the sighting are like on that day.

While in Kenya you will have 2 x guided open jeep safaris per day or you will be out on safari all day with a picnic lunch.

Why travel to 3 locations on a Africa Safari

The word safari comes from a Swahili word  that means journey, travel, or tour.

The questions of multiple location often comes up regarding the safari experience with the “what is the benefit ” to me as the traveler to got o different safari locations.

The answer is that a safari is not a static experience. Its a very dynamic moving environment where there is no guarantee of what you will see.

Sure certain places are known to have a pattern or history of certain wildlife sightings however to say it will have happen is misleading to the safari traveler.

The benefit of multiple safari location is many.

• You will get exposed to varying eco systems that deepens and broadens the safari experience.
• It gives you multiple chances to locate certain wild life that you are looking for.
• Since different areas have different animals that are accustomed to certain areas you will see a wider range of wildlife
• With water featuring in one area and wide open plains in the other you are getting the best of both worlds.
