My Nov 2022 trip

Namibia between 28 Nov 2022 and 5 Dec 2022

Trip rating: Excellent
"Loved the trip only a few minor concerns.

We advised that the journey from Ongava to Windhoek airport was risky time wise but we easily made it there with lots of time to spare."

Trip to Namibia in January 2014

Namibia between 7 Jan 2014 and 22 Jan 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"Fabulous country - brilliant scenery, good accommodation, lovely food, friendly people

Couple of minor hiccups sorted out.

Only disappointment was lack of air con and ice at Desert Homestead which was otherwise a great place to stay.

Book on Namibia was very helpful. We read ahead before each change of location. It was helpful to know the best places to stop on the long car journeys

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

January is so hot - should always recommend air-con.

But we were very satisfied overall and are happy to recommend Expert Africa to anyone considering a holiday to Namibia,"

"Canyon Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 11 Jan 2014
"interesting location and unusual accommodation. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would have liked a mini bar in the room. Their "minibar" which was a large fridge next to the distant swim pool was not ideal.

Buffet meals in the evening were excellent and lovely breakfasts too."

Halifax Island boat trip

Halifax Island boat trip

"Super trip just for the two of us"

14 Jan 2014 • Morning excursion

Because there were only two of us on the trip it was very personal. Knowledgeable owner.

Saw lots of penguins, dolphins and seals and got a lot of interesting history as well. Definitely recommend this tour

Desert Homestead

Desert Homestead

"Great trip to dunes but too hot at night"

2 nights Arrived 15 Jan 2014
"Charming accommodation spoiled by no air conditioning in the room, an absolute necessity in January. Also bar could only make 3 ice cubes per 30 minutes in the ineffective machine. Need a better solution. New owners seem enthusiastic but need to fix these problems.

Food was very good. Best was the trip to the dunes. Marco was good fun and very knowledgeable."

"Great day out to the dunes"

Dolphin and seal cruise

Dolphin and seal cruise

"Super marine cruise"

19 Jan 2014 • All-day excursion

Only problem was that we had not been told which company we were sailing with as there are quite a few leaving from the same location! However once sorted out all went well.

Gentle sail on the catamaran with surprise guests - seal, pelicans, jelly fish. Lots of noisy seals and a few penguins. Good commentary. Lunch was super - too much to eat and beautifully presented and managed.

A recommended trip
