"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

"honeymoon of our dreams"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 18 Nov 2016 and 3 Dec 2016
"Thanks for making our incredible honeymoon possible.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The one thing I wished for over and over on the trip was a bit more slack in the plans. There were towns I would have liked to explore, and people I'd have loved to get to know, but we really did not have time. I don't remember it being an option to add in extra time in places, but this would have made the trip more enjoyable for me.
Also, an ATM map and a tip guide would be helpful. But overall, we were very pleased, so thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"My Nov 2016 trip"
I visited Namibia between 14 Nov 2016 and 24 Nov 2016
"We loved our trip to Namibia and driving ourselves around such a challenging and varied country.
Despite the lengths of the drives, we found time disappeared due to the changing landscapes. We felt particularly proud to have made the journey around, but the joy of discovering each are and learning so much from the tour guides, enriched the experience.
It will be a holiday to remember for a long time to come." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 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.

"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

"Memorable experiences in Namibia & Botswana"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 24 Oct 2016 and 14 Nov 2016
"We had an outstanding trip with so many memories of stunning landscapes and wildlife that we will never forget. Both fully lived up to our hopes and expectations. We did find the driving in Namibia to be gruelling at times due to the condition of the mainly gravel roads and the necessity to drive relatively slowly, making for some long journeys - in particular the journey between Swakopmund and Twylfontein.
Our itinerary in Namibia took us to a variety of places and experiences that were all very different from each other, and each worth the visit. In Botswana it was mainly about the wildlife, though we also enjoyed the beautiful setting of the Okavenga Delta and meeting lots of Botswanans, who without exception were friendly and welcoming.
Finally, except for not getting the type of vehicle we were expecting (though Bidvest & Tracy from Expert Africa did contact us to offer to change, which we decided against) every aspect of the organisation of the trip went without a hitch. We were also impressed that the company paid the difference in flight prices between Windhoek & Maun after Air Namibia cancelled all these flights from the beginning of November and we had to be rebooked onto SA Airways."
