"Namibia, Botswana and Vic Falls Trip"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 24 Nov 2022 and 14 Dec 2022
"We found the booking process with Tracy very straightforward, especially as we had only contacted her about 10 weeks prior with our idea of a trip to either Kenya or back to Namibia. Tracy was able to reserve all the lodges for us, and present an itinerary for our approval very quickly, after we showed an interest in the 'Pygmy Mouse' safari.

Having used Expert Africa before, we once again found the quality of the service exceptional, coupled with benefiting from the teams in depth knowledge of the countries we were visiting. We once again found Namibia to be a wonderful country, and very easy to self drive around. We absolutely loved exploring the areas of Botswana on our itinerary, and meeting the friendly people of Zimbabwe around the amazing Victoria Falls. Every petrol station we stopped at had fuel available, and all accepted payments by card or in cash.

All lodges have Wifi, usually available in the main lodge area, but we found quite often our room would be close enough to this to be able to use it there. The was a noticeable difference between the quality of the roads in Namibia (good) when compared to those we used in Botswana (not so good)."

"My Nov 2022 Namibia trip"

I visited Namibia between 21 Nov 2022 and 9 Dec 2022
"My recommendation is only a 7/10 because of the extremely bad dirt roads. I have driven on dirt roads in Australia for 15 years, and they were never as relentless as these in Namibia. The 'B' roads were superb.

Expert Africa did a wonderful job in every way. After this experience I would not go to Palmwag and have more time near Etosha. I would prefer to stay out of the National Park and travel in daily. The area around Vingerklip was great and the drive through the Caprivi strip was captivating.

We saw many other animals other than those listed for each lodge including hare, springbok, kudu ostrich, mongoose, black face impala, red hartebeest, jackel, duiker, warthog, waterbuck, monkey, bushbuck, red lechwe, baboon, crocodiles, and reedbuck."

"My Nov 2022 trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 6 Nov 2022 and 26 Nov 2022
"Our second trip to Namibia that was arranged by Expert Africa. As before, this was an excellent trip. Our request were accommodated by Tom, and his suggestions for places to stay were excellent.

This trip in addition to Etosha we went along Caprivi Strip with gave us a different set of birds and mammals from our previous trip - the change in habitat was well worth it. The roads along Caprivi were much improved from guide books and many of the pot holed sections had been (or were being) resurfaced. This made travel even easier.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, relaxed in the knowledge that everything was arranged and would work - thank so much all at Expert Africa and in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

Wine tasting at Rustenberg very good.

Good trip to Boulders beach for penguins and sun birds.

Good views from Table Mountain, allow a few days as low cloud plus wind can prevent a visit." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"My Oct 2022 trip"

I visited Namibia between 20 Oct 2022 and 4 Nov 2022
"Overall our trip was amazing, we found Namibia to have such a contrast in scenery. On the whole the accommodation was perfect.

We have 3 problems we would like to highlight.

1: Bullsport, we are not sure why we were booked into low cost accommodation for one night when we could have gone straight to Hoodia for 3 nights.

2: Mushara lodge was less that 15 minutes drive from Onguma, and this should have been pointed out to us by Sabina. It was a waste of time and money staying for one night.

3. The greeting at the airport by Mclinda, she had a nice smile but that was about it! We asked for directions to Galton House which she said she didn't know how to get there. The Hertz rental man who showed us the car was far more helpful!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Our 5th time in Namibia; we love the place"

I visited Namibia between 10 Oct 2022 and 15 Nov 2022
"This was our 5th trip to Namibia, which we know very well. That is why we are probably also slightly more demanding customers, as we know what the options are and what we want.

For now four of the trips, we have used Expert Afrika, which we have great confidence in. This time was no exception, we had a wonderful trip to Namibia.

However, there was one - not insignificant - moment of irritation this time. We ended up with a hopeless 2WD Kia for the round trip in the beginning. This was very far from our request of a solid 4WD car (as also important during previous trips). When booking, we had an OK 4WD car on hand and then accepted the trip. Later however, we got ""upgraded"" to a larger 2WD car. This was not OK. Fortunately, we got the right category of car (Toyota Forester) after approx. 10 days - otherwise it would have been a disaster.

We look forward to use Expert Africa again for the fifth time, but next time, at first, we will make sure we have the right category of car before proceeding with the planning." Read full review: 36 nights in Africa; 35 on a Namibia trip

"Oct 2022 Africa trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 3 Oct 2022 and 10 Nov 2022
"We spent 5 weeks in Africa this time around, in Namibia for 2 weeks and South Africa for 3 weeks. This was our 2nd trip with Expert Africa, and it definitely lived up to expectations. (Our previous trip was 5 years ago to Tanzania, Rwanda, Botswana and Zimbabwe.)

Having Tracy assist us in planning the Namibia portion of the trip for 6 of us (3 couples), and then making all of the detailed arrangements was simply wonderful. Her knowledge and expertise gave us the confidence to do a 2-week self driving trip in Namibia. She thought of every detail, including having people meet us at airports to help with the car rental process or to simply guide us through JoBurg Airport to make a tight connection. All of the lodges or camps she selected for us were top-notch, and the activities perfectly suited to our interests.

Following Namibia, we did a 2-week birding and wildlife trip in South Africa with another company--Rockjumper--that we arranged on our own. Even then, Tracy helped us to coordinate with Rockjumper tour dates and arranged our flight to from Windhoek to Durban for the start of the tour. At the end of that tour, she arranged our flight to Capetown, our stay at the lovely Vineyard Hotel for 5 nights, and the delivery of a van for the 6 of us to use while there.

Everything that Tracy could control went smoothly, and even things that she had no control over she helped us fix! Specifically, we had a disasterous flight from the US, with several missed connections due to weather that caused an extra day of travelling. As soon as we contacted her, she rearranged our rental car and notified our first lodge in Windhoek of our late arrival.

Overall, a wonderful and certainly memorable trip!" Read full review: 38 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Oct 2022 trip"

"We really enjoyed our trip to Namibia getting to see more of the country and its fantastic and varied scenery.

We are glad we followed the route we did, getting the bad roads out of the way first and finishing with the better tarmac roads and animal spotting.

We will definitely be seeking your advice and guidance for our next trip to Africa." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2022 trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 29 Sep 2022 and 21 Oct 2022
"We'd booked the trip before Covid so, what with the delays and continued postponements along with the delay on our flight which meant we arrived three days late so Maruska had one heck of a job re-organising and re-booking things on our behalf.

She must have spent hours on our trip alone. Not only will I be booking through Expert Africa again, I've already got friends organising their trip via Maruska.

I can't say enough about the service and ability to problem solve under pressure while ensuring that we could relax and know everything was in hand and was being taken care of.
Exemplary customer service and a fabulous trip.

Thank you so, so much.

You bill yourselves as 'Expert' Africa and absolutely live up to that title. Thank you so much for an unforgettable trip and will be booking with you again soon" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
