"June 2015"
Have to get wet in the Smoke that Thunders.
Susuwe Island Lodge, peacefully exhilarating. Game drives on the water, and on land were exceptional. Guide was terrific.
CHobe Chilwero was a diamond. Facilities, food and staff were unbelievable. The animal interaction was the best! Tracked a Lion pride of 12 lion for almost 2 hours, up close and personal." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 2 on a Namibia trip
"Another Amazing Adventure in Namibia/Botswana"
Everything went smoothly from the arrival of the brochure to our arrival in Namibia and our return home.
Sabina organised an excellent trip for us - was that Sabina that we met at Doro Nawas? we thought it was but perhaps were wrong.
Nothing can replace the absolute peace we feel either looking at the stars or sitting round a waterhole late at night . The long empty roads are a joy to drive and arriving at such magical destinations incomparable. We feel that we had several holidays all rolled in to one - a couple by the river, in Etosha, at wonderful Doro Nawas, the seaside, and then Sossusvlei.
Just one amazing adventure.

"Expert Africa lives up to its name - again"
Everything ran like clockwork, and I don't think there is a thing that, in retrospect, we would have done differently.
Thank you Expert Africa." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"Great trip to Africa"
I would have driven from Onguma straight to Ndhovu now that I know how long it is and I was happy with the car but it did struggle in a few places so I might up to a Corolla next time.
We did buy a better map than the one provided and the one place where we ran into trouble a south African couple with a Tracks 4 Africa map really helped us out, but that was our fault for being where we were. I have zero other complaints though and think Sabina did a good job helping us out." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
"Great visit to Botswana"
We loved the Kalahari - the size, space, remoteness and sense of peace, and were very impressed at the amount game there - big herds of springbok and oryx. The Delta was special - the sense of peace, and the colours. The game was great - big herds of elephant, plus giraffe, Kudu, Oryx, Impala. We got very lucky and saw 4 adult leopard and 3 cubs over the course of the trip, plus lion hunting buffalo (unsuccessfully!).
The people are delightful - warm, relaxed and friendly, and of course the quality of guiding is very good." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
"My Apr 2015 trip"
"Fantastic Holiday"
Felt safe throughout the trip. Tranfers at borders ran smoothly as did the car rental return All the staff at the lodges very professional and helpful. On reflections I think we would have rather stayed in slightly larger lodges. This is because sometimes we were the only ones there so lots of the activities were not on offer or to expensive as there was only the two of us. Food throughout was of a very high standard. Also the fact that the pound against the South African Rand is high made it a very good value holiday.!
Talking about a return visit as we headed home!

We used our credit cards at all the lodges and camps therefore did not need to take large wads of money.. In Kasane where we filled up with petrol, before handing back the car they took any currency, rand, sterling Dollars etc and the rate of exchange was on par with banks. This was great because we then did not have to change money into pula just for the petrol." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
"My Feb 2015 trip"
Many thanks to Sabina for arranging the wheel chair access and rooms near the main areas for Elaine Russell, much appreciated" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"Was Beyond Expectations!"
The itinerary was beautifully constructed, never repeating experiences and building our excitement. There was not a day that we would have changed and many where we wished we had had longer.
The choice of accommodation suited us. The transfers, in fact everything, went smoothly.
It was an incredible holiday from beginning to end." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
"A fantastic trip."
All other arrangements ran beautifully smoothly and Expert Africa''s advice was spot on. I would recommend Expert Africa for African holidays as they are so well thought out and meticulously planned.
We had a great time. Thank you Expert Africa for this lovely experience.
