Tom was fantastic in setting up
Think to improve some hints on where to stop on the long drives would be nice" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"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

"My Sep 2022 trip"
I visited Namibia between 23 Sep 2022 and 15 Oct 2022
"Namibia was definitely one of the most memorable from all the trips I have done in the last three decades covering all the continents.
It was a long trip, with a busy schedule almost everyday, and some long drives (to me, as I don’t really enjoy sitting in a vehicle for long). I would do it differently next time, as I would have liked to have more time to spend relaxing in some of the lovely camps. There were many highlights from the trip, but the best one was seeing the spotted hyaena in Etosha, he was very close to our vehicle, as we took pictures of him, he turned around and stared at us, it was a very special moment.
We did and saw so much in three weeks with lots of different activities including sand boarding which was great fun. The people in Namibia were very special, and I felt fortunate to have met some of them and to experience this incredible country. I wanted to come to Namibia over ten years ago after my photographer friend mentioned about the special landscape. After seeing the pictures of Sossusvlei on the internet, I was hooked and determined to visit one day. The planning of this trip during the Covid lockdown gave me hope and kept my sanity, and I enjoyed the researching and planning of the entire trip, and discovering all the amazing things that this country had to offer.
I was very glad and felt fortunate too to have come across Expert Africa to organise the trip for us. Everything went extremely smoothly, I could not have wished for a better tour operator to make the arrangements for us. I also enjoyed very much working with Maruska on this trip. She’s extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient with the requests and changes that I had.
Due to Covid, the trip had to be postponed for one year. During that time, Maruska and I got to speak to each other many times to arrange the trip, and she felt more like a friend. I hope our friends will consider going to Namibia after seeing the hundreds of pictures that we have taken. It is such a special place. I’m looking forward to returning, and hopefully, my family from Asia will join me next time.
Thank you, Expert Africa and Maruska, for this successful, fun and memorable experience!" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"This was our third trip to Namibia. It had been put off twice because of the pandemic and we had feared it would never happen. We are delighted that it did.
Camp Kipwe and Onguma were new to us and really excellent, especially Onguma. Having a guide in Etosha with a radio and some mates with radios makes a big difference, as compared to just driving yourself around. Having said that, the drives within the Onguma reserve itself were good. We had a great sundowner by a waterhole with a pride of 9 lions and a big old pride male.
This is, I think, our 4th trip with Expert Africa. We are thinking now of a return trip to the Mara/Serengiti in 2-3 years time. We will be in touch.
Tracy, thank you for your hard work.

"My Sep 2022 trip"

"Overall we had a really memorable holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Three things could have been improved on; the first two I have mentioned - the cold nights on the Endeka Walking trail, and the rather expensive misinformation at Okonjima. The third is the fact that nobody from Wilderness Travel met us at the airport in Windhoek. This need not have been a problem, had we known that they had an office at the airport. As it was we hung around hopefully , and finally found someone to ask, and they pointed us the way to the office. Nobody seemed to be expecting us!"

"We had an absolutely amazing time in Namibia, and it was well worth the wait after two years of COVID cancellations.
Sabina was excellent in rearranging our accommodation three times and it was lovely to actually meet her in Windhoek.
We are already thinking about a return journey where we'd like to take in Caprivi & Victoria Falls..." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"Our Namibia Sep 2022 trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 9 Sep 2022 and 24 Sep 2022
"One of the best trips we have had worldwide, and especially in Southern Africa.
Delightfully quirky Roy's rest camp to simply luxurious Onguma, Nambwa and Chobe Chilwero.
There was only one camp, Shametu River Lodge, that was a real disappointment.
All the connections and pickups worked very well. The meet and greet at Windhoek by your agent was especially welcome after a couple of flights.

Marushka, your representative, couldn't have been more helpful as she listened to our ideas before curating and then amending her suggested itinerary. Constant follow-ups were reassuring.
We cannot see how either you, her or we could have improved our trip with Expert Africa .. sorry.." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
