NHA Land Travel

Track gorillas in Rwanda. 🌿 Watch elephants in Botswana. 🍇 Wake up in a Tuscan villa.

Every meal whole-food plant-based and free of added salt, oil and sugar — so you come home feeling better than when you left. ✨

🏆 NHA’s travel program won the 2024 Travel Weekly Magellan Gold Award for Innovation in Group Plant-Based Travel

💚 Why people fall in love with NHA land trips

  • 🥗 No food worries. Chefs prepare whole-food plant-based, SOS-free meals to NHA’s Gold Standard for the whole trip.
  • 👫 Small groups, real friendships. NHA notes many members travel solo — the group starts connecting before the trip even begins.
  • 🦍 Once-in-a-lifetime places. Gorillas and chimpanzees in Rwanda, safari camps in Botswana, villages of France’s Dordogne, the hills of Tuscany, Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula.
  • 🌱 A healthy lifestyle that travels with you. Walk, explore, rest and eat well, all at once.
