Melissa Rosales Cortés
Journey to Ethiopia
My name is Melissa and I traveled from Mexico to Ethiopia with Namaste, my first photographic journey, having no idea it would turn into a wonderful experience, with impeccable logistics, and Juanra was always attentive to your needs. The country is full of fascinating contrasts, from the tribes where we had the opportunity to witness the bull-jumping ceremony to the serenity and mysticism of Lalibela. Thank you for a memorable journey in every sense, and ready for the next ones!

Silvia & Joao
Uganda Photography Expedition
We had an amazing trip to Uganda with Namaste photo tours with an excellent organization. Juanra is a fantastic líder tour and a great organizer. We stayed in very good lodges, had very good meals and an incredible itinerary around Uganda. From wildlife to landscapes, from people to day life, we had excellent opportunities from the photographer point of view as well from a cultural experience. For sure we will travel again with Namaste and we are still overwhelmed with the beautiful country Uganda.

Maria Marta Erramuspe
Journey to Iceland
Iceland, a surprising destination at every turn. We fully enjoyed its unique landscapes. Juanra and Xiao, excellent guides in every aspect, both in the organization before and during the trip, know the destination very well. With extensive photography experience, they lead you to the best spots at the best times, always attentive to everything and everyone, two very warm-hearted individuals. We were always very comfortable and had a wonderful group. Undoubtedly, an unforgettable experience!

Emilio Cueto Perez
Journey to Namibia
I had wanted to go to Namibia for years, but I never imagined that experiencing it with Juanra would completely change the way I photograph.

FAQ.
We answer your most frequently asked questions: whether you can travel without being a photographer, how to book your spot, group sizes and much more.
The answer is a resounding yes. It doesn't matter what level of photography knowledge you have, whether you're a beginner, an expert, or simply want to travel with just your phone. On our trips, you will always be accompanied by an expert photographer. In addition to knowing the destination we are going to visit, they are a photography professional who will share their knowledge with you throughout the duration of the photography expedition.
If you are a photography enthusiast, photo tours finally allow you to combine your two passions: photography and travel. Our journeys are suitable for any type of client. No matter your level of photography knowledge, whether you are a beginner or an expert. Imagine traveling to those countries you've always dreamed of visiting and enjoying capturing photos that will keep your memories and experiences alive in an incredible way. On our photo tours, you will always be accompanied by an expert photographer. Besides exploring the destination we are visiting, they are a photography professional who will share their knowledge with you during the photo tour. You will travel in small groups, stopping at key locations to achieve the best compositions, in the best lighting conditions. You will be able to capture spectacular photographs with different types of lighting: sunrises, sunsets, etc., and take the necessary time to make them perfect.
You can fill out the form available for each journey, send us an email, or call us by phone. When you confirm the reservation, a deposit will be required.
International flights are not included in any of our trips. We will recommend the most suitable flight for reaching your destination.
The general rule is: The sooner, the better. Our groups are small, with a maximum of 10 travelers. We can't predict when others will book, so it's hard to know if the tour will fill up quickly. Our advice is to book as soon as you decide to travel, so your spot is secured.
Yes, it is always necessary to make the initial payment (US $1,000) to secure your spot on any of our photography journeys.
Yes, it is possible to make the initial payment for the journey using a credit or debit card during the same booking process for your spot. We accept payments via Visa, MasterCard, or American Express. Please note that this payment method involves a 4% fee of the total amount to be paid.
Typically, the final payment must be made 45 days before the journey begins. If you have booked your trip within 45 days of the departure date, full payment is required at the time of booking. Last-minute reservations require advance payment prior to confirmation.
The type of accommodation varies with each journey. However, most of the accommodations are premium hotels, typically 4 or 5 stars. At other times, we stay in lodges, cabins, guesthouses, or motels, depending on the location we aim to photograph, always striving to maintain the highest quality possible.
The clothes you'll need will largely depend on the destination we journey to. We provide a comprehensive list of suggested clothing and gear in our welcome kit, which we send to all tour participants. Our general recommendation is to dress in layers and pack as lightly as possible. Aim to steer clear of heavy cotton clothing like jeans, sweatshirts, and coats. Lighter alternatives that are warm, wrinkle-resistant, and lightweight are the best choice.
The requirements for international travel visas vary widely, depending on your nationality and the destination. While we cannot obtain the visa for you, we will provide links to companies offering this service, making your application process smoother and more accessible.
It depends somewhat on your level of photographic knowledge. Some travelers carry professional equipment, while others just bring their mobile phones. In any case, if you have any questions about what equipment to bring or purchase, send us an email, and we will gladly provide you with all the information you need.
Health and travel insurance is mandatory for all journeys with Namaste Photo Tours.
Of course, at times, some participants who join our journeys capture photos with a compact camera or even just with their smartphone.
Our journeys are crafted for the enjoyment of any reasonably fit individual. However, some adventures take you to remote areas with limited or no medical facilities, so being in good health is vital. Elements like hiking, rugged paths, dust, traffic, stairs, humidity, delays, and unfamiliar customs and cultures also contribute to the physical demands.
Teenagers aged 13 to 17 cannot participate in our tours unless accompanied by their parents. Our tours are not suitable for children under 13 years old.
There's no problem if you're traveling alone; we will arrange for you to share a room with a fellow participant of the same gender. However, if you prefer a single room, you can choose this option when making your reservation, with the corresponding additional cost.
