Exploring the wild beauty of Southern Africa is a dream for many. In this post, we tackle a question often asked by nature lovers planning a safari in the region: What is the best safari in Southern Africa? From the majestic plains of Botswana to the endless deserts of Namibia and the rich diversity of South Africa, each destination offers a unique and memorable experience.
Namibia is a favourite destination for people with travel in their DNA. In southern Africa, Namibia’s changing landscapes take your breath away, its wildlife is richly diverse and opportunities for great photography abound wherever you go.
Our trip to Namibia with J.C. Casado gives us the chance to travel through landscapes untouched by humans, where the wild animals live in ideal conditions, and the skies are free of the light pollution so common in our cities. Few places on Earth still offer both: wild nature and a a pristine environment.
On many occasions we travel to know new things and discover wonderful places, landscapes and sensations. But there's something else, without which travel would make no sense. Something that vividly reflects all the above, the true essence of the place: local population.
Over our many years of experience we have travelled the world, crossing paths with men, women and children from every corner of the globe. Sometimes they greeted us with smiles; at other times with wise, innocent or curious looks. In every case, their faces have remained etched in our memories and those of our travellers, becoming part of us and ensuring we never forget them.
In their honour, we have put together a collection of images of people we have met on our travel. They are the faces of the human diversity.
A great trip. is not linked to a duration, a particular destination or means of transport, but one that poses a challenge. On a night like tonight, we remember three travellers who set off on a great journey following a star: Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar. A journey through the desert to bring gold, frankincense and myrrh to a newborn.
We do not know for sure whether they crossed the desert of Namibia, Gobi, Wadi Rum and Sahara. What we do know is that each of you, as travellers, has a challenge when setting off on an adventure, whether following a star, a dream or a desire to discover new places…

The Okavango is a mighty river that rises in Angola to make its way for 1000 km through Africa, crossing Namibia and ending his journey in the Kalahari Desert, in Botswana. But if it ends up in Botswana, where is the sea? Well, that is the interesting part: there is no sea. At its end, the Okavango River forms an ‘alluvial fan’: instead of flowing into the sea, its waters disappear into the arid lands of Botswana, leaving a spectacular landscape declared a World Heritage Site in 2014: The Okavango Delta.
Viajes Tuareg has initiated a whole series of actions to collaborate with several of the Travel bloggers most prestigious and well-known in Spain, working together to share aspects of our trips from each author’s unique perspective. Journalists from some of the most widely read media outlets have also described what travelling with us is like from their point of view.
As a result, reports and articles have appeared in the media, some of which we would like to share here. They cover trips to places such as South Africa, Thailand, Namibia, or Madagascar.
More and more of us are learning to take photographs as we travel the world, over time and from destination to destination.
This line of photography trips is designed for people who share a passion for photography. People who want to adjust the itinerary to catch the best light, or spend half an hour, if necessary, searching for that impossible shot. These are the companions you’ll find on this kind of trip.
With professional guides and photographers, we aim to take care of every last detail so that your photography trips be an unforgettable travel experience and you return with plenty of great shots.
