"Very pleasant contact with the staff of Expert Africa. Always very helpful in spite of all our changes and late moment decisions. Also the book about Namibia written by Chris McIntyre was excelent and up to date.

Suggestions for improvement:

We think everything is fine the way it is. Friendly, efficient and late bookings are no problem at all !"

Erongo Wilderness Lodge

Erongo Wilderness Lodge

"Erongo Wilderness Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 23 Aug 2008
"This beautifully located lodge is a little paradise. Very friendly and enthousiastic staff (hosts, guides, drivers as well as the staff in the restaurant !) and a wonderful area to stay.

Very beautiful nature! We saw for example porcupines here, and very big lizzards, many different species of antilopes and lots of 'dassies'.

The little pool near the 'breakfastroom' is also very nice: many species of birds can be found here, like the grey hornbill and many lovebirds. Very special too are the rockpaintings in a cave in the area."

Palmwag Lodge

Palmwag Lodge

"Palmwag Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 24 Aug 2008
"Beautifully located, with view at the funnyshaped vulcanic mountains. Looks like an oasis in the desert (which it actually is) .

Palmtrees and reed where thousands of buntings gather for the night: very spectaculair. Spectaculair view from the tent!
We only stayed overnight here, so, we can't give any comments on the 'activity'part."

Desert Rhino Camp

Desert Rhino Camp

"Desert Rhino Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 25 Aug 2008
"This camp no doubt deserves the status “superexcellent” ! The area is too beautiful to express in words. Very pure nature and quite a lot of animals. We saw two rhinoes (thanks to the trackers and guide we could approach them on foot!) as well as desert elephants, a very small baby oryx and a giraffe drinking near a pool, among others.

Our hostess and guide, Daphne and Ignatius, and their wonderful colleagues just did everything to make us feel at home. Which we did! What we liked especially about this camp is that staff, trackers and guides joined us at the campfire and meals. It gives you a sense of community.

In May this year they built new tents, in Out of Africa-style, with hot water & shower. So, it is very luxurious. And we enjoyed the lovely hotwaterbottles at night!"

Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani Mountain Camp

"Mowani Mountain Camp review"

1 night Arrived 27 Aug 2008
"Perfect service and extremely friendly staff ! From the camp you have a beautiful view over the area and you stay in a very luxurious tent. At sundown a nice welcome-drink is organised at a beautiful spot on the rocks.

The safari the next day was very special: we saw a herd with three baby-elephants (one of them only one day old!) and also three cheetahs. Our guide Reynoldus really did his best to find the elephants for us! Wonderful place to stay!"

"Cape Cross Lodge review"

1 night Arrived 28 Aug 2008
"Very friendly and helpful staff ! They even washed the dirt off our car without being asked and helped us with our flat tire.

The lodge is right on the beach - great location - and the room is fantastic, in marine-style and with a view on the wide ocean. Perfect!"

Secret Garden Guesthouse

"Secret Garden Guesthouse review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2008
"Very good location, right in the center of Swakopmund. We liked the patiogarden very much.

The breakfastroom, sittingroom and kitchen are nicely decorated. The rooms are good, with coffee and tea-facilities and homemade biscuits as well as a good bathroom.

Breakfast is fine; the lady introduced the guests to each other at the breakfasttable, which was really nice. Good information about the area."

"Kulala Wilderness Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 31 Aug 2008
"Thomas and Henrietta and their colleagues make a wonderful team! Very spontanious, helpful and serviceminded people! Beautifully located lodge with a fantastic view from the tents.

The tour to the dunes and Sesriem Canyon is really worth while. It's a long tour though: we admire the guides that do the tours every day!"

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch

"Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch review"

1 night Arrived 2 Sep 2008
"Very nice, luxurious and wellmaintained bungalows, decorated in African style.

Beautiful area where we, among other animals, saw very special birds, like two giant eagle owls, a pygmy falcon and a Kori bustard! Special thanks to our guide Paul who is very enthousiastic (!!) and helpful. The manager, Cilas, and the restaurant staff are very friendly too.

Good food and a beautifully decorated buffet. This lodge really has style and offers service on a high level!"
