Travel reviews by Mrs E & family - Netherlands

Great holiday

On this trip, I visited Botswana & Namibia between 14-Jul-2012 and 28-Jul-2012 and I travelled with 4 other people.

Dear Sabina,

Thanks very much for organising such a great holiday again!! Totally different from the dry part of Namibia (Kalahari desert, Namib desert, Damara land, Etosha). This time river deltas, water, green, and also many many animals, and again very nice people. Anybody asking us about our two holidays, we suggest to contact Expert Africa and you. Again, unforgettable.

One topic for your consideration: leaving to our lodge near Rundu, we were stopped at a check point just south of Rundu close to an army base. I stopped the front of my car 1 meter past the stop sign. Anyway, the guy made a big point out of it, a second policeman joined him and I had to come with them to a tent next to the road. Supposedly I would get a fine of NAM $ 1500 for "ignoring the stop sign".

I stayed courteous, said that any fine I'd pay at the police station. Anyway, it was an attempt to get a bribe, but in the end I did not have to pay anything. At another lodge, I heard that a few other tourists had exactly the same experience, at exactly the same check point. Not a big deal, but just that you know this happened.

Again Sabina, thanks very much for your help. It was an unforgettable holiday, again!

Kind regards, Elly and Paul Veth.

Great holiday

On this trip, I visited Namibia between 2-Aug-2009 and 22-Aug-2009 and I travelled with 5 other people.

We have had a perfect holiday. We plan to go back, and visit another part of Namibia.

Suggestions for improvement:

Open an office in Holland with dutch speaking people.
