Discovering Africa
When the world was still young, the baobab stood proudly among the trees, the most majestic of all, with its imposing trunk and crown as far as the eye could see.
But such greatness had made him vain and arrogant, and the gods, to punish him, decided to uproot him and replant him upside down, with his roots reaching towards the sky.
In this way, the baobab learned humility, becoming the Tree of Life: a point of reference for animals and men, a source of shelter, water, nourishment and wisdom for those who met it along the way.
It is from the fascination for this and other legends, heard around campfires, that Baobab Tales was born, a tour operator dedicated to those who wish to discover Southern Africa in an authentic, profound and respectful way.
Driven by the love for uncontaminated nature, a passion for an ancient and fascinating history, and a curiosity for the thousand cultures that color this land, we create travel experiences designed for true explorers, ready to let themselves be guided by their roots towards discovery.
​
With Baobab Tales, every journey is an immersion in the stories, wild landscapes and rhythms of an Africa that often escapes conventional routes.
​
From the vast expanses of the Okavango Delta to the red dunes of the Namib Desert, from the magic of Table Mountain, the hub of Cape Town's pulsating life, to remote villages and communities that preserve ancient traditions, we will take you to discover places and cultures that tell of a world beyond the visible one, rich in legends and natural wonders and majestic landscapes. Our goal is to share with you the respect and wonder for this land and its people.
Baobab Tales invites you on a journey that is not just an experience, but a story that unfolds step by step, under the eternal shadow of the Tree of Life.

I am Lorenzo Gaspari, originally from Turin, with a degree in history and a background in special events organization (automotive, Olympics) and I have been living in Cape Town, South Africa since 2012, where I have dedicated myself to a career in programming and traveled as much as possible.
I have fallen deeply in love with this land, and I have decided to share the knowledge accumulated during my experiences here, organizing trips that allow to understand and better appreciate what is at the same time the oldest and the youngest of the continents, a place of beauty and contradictions.
