"Good holiday spoilt by a vehicle that was not suitable for the job." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"An enjoyable and memorable trip." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"We enjoyed the whole trip but there were some low spots to go with the many highlights.

We know that when we undertake a holiday like this it can be a bit of an adventure and thats part of the attraction.

Expert Africa could help with a slightly more detailed itinerary giving key directions where there are difficult spots to negotiate." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"The advice and choices given by Angela gave us a comprehensive overview of Namibia and we feel we saw most of the outstanding things that you would expect on a first trip" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"This is the best time of year to visit! Many lodges are nearly empty and you benefit from personal attention.

We decided to take a risk on the rain in early March and while there were one or two thunderstorms we had absolutely no problems on the roads. I would encourage anyone who is considering it to rent a 4x4 and take the plunge. The gravel roads are very easy to drive on, very well maintained and gloriously empty most of the time.

Game drives are fun, but we went for the smaller wildlife and the wide open spaces and we weren't disappointed.

Very friendly people everywhere.

Take some time to walk around Windhoek if you can; it's worth a day at least." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"I had a great time, thanks largely to Maruska's excellent planning :-). The combination of the fly-in safari and the self-drive trip in central Namibia allowed me to experience a fairly wide swathe of the country, including some amazing animals and birds and countryside, and to try out various hostelries.

I met some very interesting people and also thoroughly enjoyed the road trip on my own. The car went very well and I had no trouble finding my way around. Thank you for providing the map with all my stop-overs marked on it; that was very helpful.

The next trip I plan in Africa, you will be the first people I call. Thanks again!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"We had a great trip.

it all went very smoothly and the accommodation was excellent.

The driving was not as bad as we had expected and were usually at our destination by about 2pm.We had one puncture caused by a nail in the tyre but this was found during our day at Erongo and one of the staff there helped us change the wheel . It was then straightforward to have the tyre repaired in Omaruru.

Highlights were the dunes, seeing rhinos at the waterhole at Okaukuejo and the sundowner walks at Erongo.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No - all very well organised and efficient.

Thank you very much." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Overall a great holiday but really in some ways spoilt by Nhoma Camp.

Expert Africa should however be congratulated and thanked for the excellent service given in booking and arranging the holiday." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"Very good holiday. As it was a trip to the unknown we needed assurance on safety etc. 4wd drive essential. The double cab pickup we had was ideal. Small car option with 4wd not good enough. We had to help someone stuck in the riverbed.

Would have been helpful to have had stopping points on journey pointed out eg petrified Forest. Was very glad not to have stayed at Ludderitz ( did you recommend Nest Hotel ?)

2 failed card payments gone through bank although failed at the time at Fish River Lodge, so paid cash. Will try to recover through credit card company or will be back to you" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip
