"Our trip to Namibia December 2016"

I visited Namibia between 13 Dec 2016 and 25 Dec 2016
"We had a fabulous time on our trip. Namibia is a very special and beautiful country.

We thoroughly enjoyed all of the accommodation especially Kulala Desert Lodge and Doro Nawas Camp. On our first day at Kulala, we took a sundowner tour from the lodge and were also lucky to see the full moon over the dunes. On our second day, we took an early morning guided drive to Sossusvlei. The guide was excellent. He found a shovel-snouted lizard and a white lady spider for us. At Doro Nawas, we also had an excellent guide. We saw about 25 desert-adapted elephants; at night, the same guide showed us scorpions.

We also liked Swakopmund and the Sandfields Guesthouse. The two-hour flight from Swakopmund was a unique way to see the dunes, the desert, the flamingoes, the seals and the skeleton coast. We also enjoyed kayaking with the seals.

There was a bit of a glitch on our day tour to Sandwich Harbour. There were two vehicles on the tour, and our family had a junior guide who was a good driver but was not knowledgeable and could not provide us with any information. However, this problem was later resolved by talking to Bruno, who offered us a free three-hour tour the next day to a magnificent area located about 10 km from Swakopmund. Bruno also included sandboarding as part of the tour. His tour was definitely one of the many highlights of our stay in Swakopmund.

We found Etosha National Park to be a very special place. It was raining before we arrived in Etosha, and as a result the animals found different sources of water and were not attracted to the waterholes. We sometimes had to drive for a few hours before spotting animals. We did, however, see many animals in the end, including three lionesses, a sleeping lion, a black rhino and a group of about 15 hyenas. As far as accommodation goes, we liked Mushara Bush Camp better than Andersson's Camp.

Franz Indongo Lodge was also a fine place to stay and well located to visit the CCF. The cheetahs were quite active when we visited, and both the tour and the museum were very informative.

In conclusion, our trip was a great success. Although we drove a lot, we found the roads well maintained and the car very comfortable. We would like to thank you for organizing this trip for us. We are already thinking about other destinations in Africa and we will be in touch.

"My Dec 2016 trip"

I visited Namibia between 12 Dec 2016 and 31 Dec 2016
"We had a fantastic trip to Namibia, were pleasantly surprised by the standard of accommodation, helpfulness of the staff in all but one of our stops.

If Planet Earth II has not convinced you to visit then you should go anyway as it has much more to offer than what was shown in the short time that the BBC allotted to the Namib desert.

If you are looking for something totally different look no further." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"My Nov 2016 trip"

I visited Namibia between 25 Nov 2016 and 3 Dec 2016
"A marvellous safari without a single glitch. Connections were perfect and all aspects of the visit were clearly explained and punctual and the services provided were excellent. Staff at Windhoek were most accommodating as they were in all the other locations.

Namibia is beyond spectacular. What additionally impressed us was the attitude of the Namibians to their country and to the environment. Most reassuring to see the efforts being made to sustain the right balance.

The tour planning by Sabina was perfect for us." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"November self-drive trip 2016"

I visited Namibia between 9 Nov 2016 and 25 Nov 2016
"It was brilliant, we saw all the animals we wanted to see and more. It is so easy to drive around as long as you are careful on the gravel roads and the scenery is stunning, there seems to be a different view at every turn.

We found the people there so friendly and the level of accommodation was very good, comfortable beds always help! Although it was very hot - 35 deg on average, the dryness means it is not debilitating.

You can also see animals at the waterholes all day long, as well as in the conservancies , not just the morning and evening, making for a day long game viewing everywhere you went. Very pleased with all the help we received - it was nice to have a contact at the airport in Windhoek as well.

"My Nov 2016 trip"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 6 Nov 2016 and 25 Nov 2016
"This was our third trip with Expert Africa, again we were very happy with everything provided by them.

Our initial delay was out of Expert Africa's control.

However, the help provided by Tracy was excellent - starting with late night texts and emails then further phone calls. She arranged alternative accommodation and kept us informed.

Wilderness Safari staff at Windhoek airport, especially Priscilla, were exceptionally helpful in dealing with our car hire problems, then escorting us to our accomodation in Windhoek - Bidvest delayed us so long that it was dark before we left the airport.

Priscilla then ensured that our late arriving luggage was sent on to us." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Impressed by Namibia!"

I visited Namibia between 4 Nov 2016 and 20 Nov 2016
"I have to say that I was very much impressed by the Namibian people, the landscape, the parks and how well it's all organised. This was my 10th safari trip, but first to Namibia, and I can easily say that you outrun any other trip I've done to Kenya and their parks.

Guides respects the rules of driving, respects the animals, very well educated in their habitat and great guest awareness. I hope to be back for the next winter, but then for a camping tour!

Expert Africa could not have chosen a better representative then Maruska Adye to sort this out for us." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
