Namibia: reviews from our travellers
Unedited reviews written by our most recent Namibia travellers
"African Adventure 2016"
We only wish it could have been longer - a couple of days more at Bushman's Kloof (to take advantage of their 4 nights for the price of 3) and an extra night at Augrabies Falls. We wonder if staying inside Etosha is not for us anymore as standards do not improve - although the accommodation was fine in both Dolomite and Okaukuejo.
Thanks Tracy we had a fantastic holiday!" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia holiday 2016"
The roads were very variable, but we stuck to the route planned for us and felt we'd had the best option.
The yellow sheet provided with restaurants and cafes, was useful. please note the Camelthorn Beer garden no longer exists! The couple have divorced.
WE had lunch in Otijwrongo at Kari's ,Hindenburg street which was excellent and a good replacement, same directions would find it! The Farmhouse deli inThe Strand Hotel in Swakopmund was a real find too." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
"Our African Adventure"
Sabina had given us a great itinerary and set of accommodation, with sound advice about distances and what to see. In retrospect we would not have spent two nights at Camp Kwando, but more in the panhandle. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would love to do it again.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
A list of where the ATMs are located would be useful.
Note that bird/animal guide books are not readily available at the lodges. Suggest that customers buy them before travelling.
Clarify the cross border permit instructions for vehicles from Namibia to Botswana.
Note that Zimbabwe now charges US$55 for UK residents visitor permit whereas EU members generally are charged US$30." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"August 2016 Namibia Trip"
Highly recommend Expert Africa - their advice and experience was invaluable. We had so many changes and they were extremely patient with us and making sure we were happy with the final itinerary. Tom was brilliant - really appreciated his help in sorting out the trip and answering all my questions.
We normally book our own trips and this is the first time we have used a travel expert and were very extremely happy with the excellent service provided! Will certainly consider them for future trips!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip

"Magnificent - the best Apart from the less t"
I travelled with 2 friends who had been before and 3 ' newbies ' who were thrilled with the whole Southern African experience and I don't think it will be their last trip.
