PETA has just announced the recipients of its first ever Animal-Friendly African Safaris Award. The awards recognize safari companies that offer wildlife viewing on protected reserves or in national parks and, among other considerations, maintain a respectful distance from wild animals and guide small groups at specific times of the day in order to minimize stress to the animals. All the winning companies offer exclusively vegan menus, cruelty-free toiletries and linens, and zero exposure to trophy hunting.

“These safari companies are winners because they offer cruelty-free adventures that respect animals enough to let them live in peace and they make sure guests’ food and toiletry choices are animal-friendly,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA urges travelers to do their research and choose safaris that respect animals and never allow harmful, hands-on encounters.”

Studies show that a quarter of safari guests are now either vegetarian or vegan, and safaris that allow the observation of animals in their natural habitat—instead of forced interactions—are on the rise.

Here are the winners of PETA’s Animal-Friendly African Safaris Award:

Kings Camp

Kings Camp offers a luxury safari experience with a certified vegan hospitality consultant to ensure that guests’ every need is met. The camp is located in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, facing an open savanna plain with an active waterhole visited by a wide variety of wildlife. Guests are invited to visit the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, a haven for abandoned, injured, and poisoned wildlife, including lions, rhinos, and leopards.

Vegan Safari Africa

One of the featured lodges on this safari, the Deception Valley Lodge, was once a collection of eight cattle farms that were rewilded by removing the fencing and creating corridors for migration, naturalizing waterholes, and allowing roads to become overgrown so that wildlife could thrive again. Vegan owner Helene Forward visits all the safari lodges to ensure that they are vegan-friendly and personally trains the chefs for the mobile camping safaris.

Travelers can choose from 14 packages that allow them to view animals in their natural habitats by … [+] air and on land, visit a rehabilitation center for previously captive African big cats, and learn about research into African wild dog populations.
