Africa trip of a lifetime
Namibia and 2 other countries between 26 Aug 2014 and 13 Sep 2014
"Our first and foremost comment is that Expert Africa is the best!
From helping us plan a dream trip (great job of listening to our needs and wants) to executing all the details without any flaws. The entire trip went very smoothly, allowing us to enjoy the adventure travel without worry.
Their knowledge of Namibia and Botswana is excellent and this allowed them to place us at the best properties and have a great time. I highly recommend Expert Africa to all that plan a to southern part of the Africa continent."

"The Stiltz was comfortable and had a fun location at the edge of the estuary.
We had dinner at The Tug restaurant, which had amazingly delicious food. We were very lucky to be seated without reservations, but we dined early."

Brandberg White Lady Lodge
"Brandberg White Lady Lodge review"
1 night
Arrived
30 Aug 2014
"The advantage to the White Lady Lodge is it close to the park and most amazing rock art in the world.
The main lodge area is very nice, but the rooms are simple and clean, nothing to be excited about."

Mowani Mountain Camp
"Mowani Mountain Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
31 Aug 2014
"The Mowani is just amazing. The cabins are beautiful, private, and peaceful; with stunning views. The food was first class and the "sundowner" evenings (drinks, appetizers, and chairs on a gigantic granite boulder) watching the sunsets was too much fun.
Our guide (Atan) was friendly and knowledgeable and we really enjoyed the excursions to observe desert elephants and see the petroglyphs."

Okaukuejo Camp
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
3 Sep 2014
"Our chalet was just a couple hundred feet away from the watering hole and with the second-story balcony, we could either relax and observe from our room or from the benches near the watering hole. The wildlife that came to the watering hole was fabulous and made the stay wonderful.
The camp as a whole was too developed, a little crowded, and the buffet meals were just ordinary. The room was great and the watering hole just spectacular."

Muchenje Safari Lodge
"Muchenje Safari Lodge review"
3 nights
Arrived
8 Sep 2014
"The lodge is very well located on the bluff with excellent river valley views. The rooms are a little dated and could use some TLC, but they are nice, clean, and comfortable. Guide staff did a great job and we really enjoyed our excursions, great game viewing.
My only negative comment is that staff joined guests at the dinning tables and initiated conversation; thus limiting quiet time or friendly conversation with other guests."
