A balanced route between activity, nature and discovery.
Across the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Natron: next departure 5 Septime, 13 October and 14 November.
At the northern border of Tanzania, the endless savannah gives way to a lunar landscape where flamingos gather seasonally. The silhouette of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the Maasai’s sacred mountain, is unmistakable on the horizon.
East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) and Southern Africa (Namibia, Botswana and South Africa) are the two most popular safari areas in Africa. Both offer excellent opportunities to observe wildlife, but there are also great differences.
Here we share our view to help you choose the right safari.
We will focus on the best places in Southern Africa to observe these majestic cats, with special attention to the routes that allow us to live this experience responsibly and with minimal environmental impact.
The best safaris in Southern Africa to see the king of the savannah.
It is something we have been thinking about for some time, a dream we have always had, and now it seems the moment has come… let’s go on safari as a family!
But now that we're clear that we're going to take the whole family safari, many questions arise. Which destination would be best for a family safari? What kind of safari will appeal more to my family? Where will we see the most animals? Is this a child-friendly safari?
In this article, we will try to answer all these questions to make your family trip an unforgettable experience.
At present the word safari appears in many contexts. We see it used for a city walk, a tour of several vineyards or even a food walk to try tapas at different restaurants. All of these are given the word safari, which can cause confusion. Urban safari, food safari, safaris here, there and everywhere.
Where there are many lions... there are often also many visitors. Pure logic.Do we want to see lots of animals in the most popular reserves, or are we looking for a more intimate, personal experience? And what standard of accommodation are we looking for?
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.
If you are thinking of going on a safari with children, you may wonder whether the trip will be suitable for them.
In this article we talk about the convenience of travelling to Tanzania with young children, and we provide all the necessary information so you know how to do it in the best way.
How long has it been since we last went on an adventure with our loved ones? Now is our chance.
Update by the Kenyan government on travel restrictions from Spain.
Our local partners in Kenya tell us that, following Spain’s announcement lifting mandatory quarantine for travellers from Kenya, the Kenyan authorities have reciprocated by removing mandatory quarantine on arrival for Spanish travellers.
Lake Natron: Safaris and adventures in Maasai land. Special departure from 6 to 16 October
Our Tanzania trip—Lake Natron, a journey through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro—combines the landscapes and wildlife we hope to see on an African safari with the chance to spend a few days on what feels like another planet. We will find a pink lake, animals mummified by salt and an active volcano to climb. Above all, we can discover daily Maasai life away from tourist villages.
For wildlife lovers staying at home, today we suggest you go on safari. It won't be necessary to book, not even fly anywhere; Live safari lets you enjoy nature and a ranger's explanations in English without leaving your sofa. During this Live safari, we will explore the African savannah by car, on foot, with a drone and by balloon, always looking for the best scenes. A free safari Courtesy of WildEarth, thank you!
Timetable Live safari: Every day, from 6 to 9 (sunrise safari) and from 15:30 to 16:30 (sunset safari). Tune in at these times to join the safari!
The Indian photographer Zhayynn James aged 43, captured the precise moment when two zebras crossed paths, creating the remarkable optical illusion in the image
The image was captured in a safari through the Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania, as reported by The Daily Mail.
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.
For several years, we have seen places in Africa offering visitors the seemingly appealing activity of walking “accompanied” by impressive lions. Walking with lions they called it, and at first glance, who wouldn’t sign up for such an experience?
If you're thinking about enjoying a safari in East Africa, here are a few tips to help you choose. Every safari is different, and it is important to know which best suits your tastes and needs.
East Africa is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful regions on the planet, with vast protected areas where animals roam freely. Seeing the local wildlife up close is a magnificent, unforgettable experience. And we know that once you have done it, you start thinking about the next safari, no matter how many safaris you have been on before.
Crossing an unfamiliar country from top to bottom is a dream for any curious traveller: from one end to the other, from beginning to end, leaving nothing out. That is the idea behind our trip to Mozambique, a route offering an almost complete picture of the former Portuguese colony, although it is never truly possible to see an entire country.
Our proposed itinerary takes us through natural parks with magnificent scenery and abundant wildlife. Africa in all its splendour. Although we will start in the south, in the capital, vibrant Maputo, we will travel across the country, always heading north.
Our travel talks continue, and this time, Ana Isabel Alia Mopane Safaris tells us about their experiences in Botswana through photos and comments.
Next Thursday 12 March at our offices of Viajes Tuareg.
In the talk we will give you a notebook of safari with a short guide to Botswana that can be very useful for planning your trip.
Places are limited; please confirm your attendance in advance.

Our trips to BOTSWANA
IN SEARCH OF THE GREAT HERDS (The return)
We got it spot on! The wildebeest, zebras and the predators following them were exactly where they should be, and the participants on the February trip “Tanzania-The Great Migration“ enjoyed one of nature’s great spectacles. Here you can see some of the photographs they took.
