"Drive via SA/ Namiba/Botswana/Victoria Falls"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 14 May 2014 and 19 Jun 2014
"We thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic experience which embraced amazing scenery, warm welcomes and wonderful wildlife.

You are quite right, this was exciting but not intrepid! We felt that the organisation by Expert Africa was outstanding. We feared we might be out of our comfort zone but the attention to detail and full pre-trip information helped us overcome any concerns we had.

All in all we had a truly outstanding exciting and memorable trip. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

"Our trip to Namibia/Botswana/ Vic falls Zimb"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 13 May 2014 and 2 Jun 2014
"From the very beginning over a year ago when I contacted expert Africa everything has been fantastic.

Initially Saskia and then Maruska in the New Zealand office went out of their way to help me plan and co- ordinate the trip. Hundreds of emails later we had our trip, and what a fantastic trip it was, would not have changed anything. Everything was totally stress free and exceeded our expectations.

Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to go to that part of Africa, and highly recommend expert Africa to arrange for you

"Amazing trip in an magnificent country"

I visited Namibia between 10 May 2014 and 21 May 2014
"Expert Africa was excellent in planning our trip - a very big thank you.

For our last night, we changed our pre booked plans and stayed in the Olive Exclusive hotel in Windhoek. Thoroughly recommended. It is part of the group that owns Erongo and has a guest house next door, and we would consider booking the latter next time.

It is huge country with very friendly people and the only question is which places do we visit next year? (I believe my wife has already decided that!!). Nearly forgot: kayaking with the wild seals in Walvis Bay was one of the highlights. Jeanne was a fantastic guide here and we had a wonderful morning. She was most kind enough to email us photos and a video. Overall: Thank you very much." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Sensual Africa"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 27 Apr 2014 and 14 May 2014
"Wonderful trip characterised by unique sights, smells and sounds in a series of fabulous environments. Many stand-out moments including the red dunes, the flight to Damaraland via Swarkopmund (sp?), the swamps of Okavango and the great people every where (notably at all of the camps). We loved the sense of optimism evident in Namibia and the ambition for the country to change from being an underdeveloped country today to becoming a developed nation by 2030!

Could'nt have been better! Well done Expert Africa! Simon and Niamh...Melbourne

"Southern Africa trip"

I visited Botswana and 3 other countries between 25 Apr 2014 and 10 May 2014
"Overall our trip was excellent. Only glitches were a missing extra spare tire in Namibib and they guy in Livingstone who was to meet us ran off with another couple. Thanks to a great airport travel desk guy, he sorted it out and matched us with the person we needed.

The Expert Africa folks we dealt with were uniformly very good to excellent. There were some delays in feedback during the planning process which we noted but overall very good. Quick feedback during the planning process is critical to us as we are comparing ideas and proposals from more than one company and we need to hear from everyone.

For this trip we spoke to three different folks--Nick, Sabina and one other. Next time I would spend more time in conversation with each of them and would better understand our itinerary options. There is only so much I retain from web sites and travel books.

We also want to find places in Botswana with animals. That was the big surprise for this trip. Our East Africa trips have spoiled us and shaped our expectations for game viewing." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Excellent trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 10 Apr 2014 and 28 Apr 2014
"We really enjoyed our holiday. Namibia is a great country and the scenery is spectacular.

If I was doing the trip again I wouldn't have stayed a night in Namtib Desert Lodge but would have put in a night at Quivertree Forest after our stay in Fish River Canyon. We stopped here for a couple of hours on our way to Luderitz, but we wished that we had more time and were able to see it at sunrise and sunset.

The driving was mostly fine in our high clearance 2WD. The only roads that caused us problems were the access track to Polentswa lodge and the D707 north of Namtib Desert Lodge where the road is basically sand for a 20km stretch. I would recommend that in future you only recommend this road for people in a 4WD and that you recommend the C13/C27 route for anyone in a 2WD. I think that even though this is longer it would be much faster as the D707 is in a pretty bad way once you get North of Namtib Desert Lodge. The scenery doesn't get really good until the C27 near the Namib Rand reserve.

We had an issue at Polentswa lodge, however, this was quickly resolved - thank you for your help with this. I would recommend that you clarify the current situation regarding night drives and other activities with the Ta Shebube lodges and update your website accordingly. We were really impressed by the quality of the Ta Shebube Rooiputs lodge - we had a great time there and saw some great animals.

I would have liked to have one or two nights on the Mata-Mata side of the national park as well as Rooiputs, as the wildlife and birds are quite different here to Rooiputs, but all the park accommodation was full so it was not possible. However, I would recommend this for future guests if the accommodation is available." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip
