"Fantastic country for kids to see some Africa"

I visited Namibia between 11 Aug 2017 and 27 Aug 2017
"Namibia is a fantastic country and one that is relatively easy to allow children to experience a range of what Africa has to offer. There is a difficult balance between time available, distance travelled, quality of roads, type of accommodation, variety of experience etc but we got it about right for our three, but what works best will vary for everyone. We met some who travelled far more than we did and survived!

Even in early spring, our kids found the temperaturte difficult in the middle of the day, but the mornings and evenings were fine - so think carefully about when to go and when to travel. Five is a difficult number to travel with - but everywhere we stayed, the accommodation worked well. We could have travelled less, avoided Damaraland, or stuck more to the tar - but that would have detracted from the overall experience.

Overall, excellent.

"August 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia between 10 Aug 2017 and 25 Aug 2017
"We have traveled as a family a reasonable amount and have all agreed that our trip to Namibia was an absolute highlight.

It is a stunning, dramatic, beautiful and haunting country. Mountains, canyons, deserts, seascape and fantastic wildlife, all coupled with welcoming friendly, warm and engaging people.
We'd encourage anyone to go - and probably go now before development changes Namibia irrevocably.

A major part in our trip being such a success was the guidance, planning, support and recommendations provide by Expert Africa and especially Josh Flatman. To put is in some context Josh arranged a fantastic agenda for two of us, which was then changed to be the whole family - he approached this difficult task with relish and was able to find fabulous accommodation for us all with the minimal of fuss. I cannot praise him highly enough.

It is clearly the collective experience at Expert Africa, research trips undertaken by the staff to Namibia and the connections that they have in country which enable them to provide a first class tailored service. Thank you all, and Josh especially, so much.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Only two suggestions; one minor, one more important:

- Minor. Please mark exactly where Bullsport is on the map. We had a in impression is was north of the junction of the D1206/C14, coming from Reheboth, and took the wrong turn. It's some 300 m south of that junction!

- More material. The B1 road south between Okahandja and Windhoek is currently undergoing major works to turn it into a highway rather than a regular road. This causes long delays for blasting etc. and the works do mean that there is some dangerous driving from locals when overtaking. Do leave plenty of time when returning to Windhoek for the airport etc.
We were warned to expect this by the staff at Erongo Wilderness Lodge so left plenty of time but don't be tempted to think it will be quick based on the road being tarmac." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Aug 2017 trip"

I visited Kenya between 9 Aug 2017 and 23 Aug 2017
"The 3 safari destinations (Laikipia + Maara) were great, all of them. The fact that we were first timers probably helped, but we were gobsmacked day after day seeing these beautiful places accompanied by excellent, smart, friendly, local guides.

The bit on the coast a bit less exciting as we were not quite ready to confront the beach boys so we ended up staying inside the hotel most of the time: good thing the hotel was very nice!

"A magical experience"

I visited Zambia between 7 Aug 2017 and 14 Aug 2017
"This was the holiday of a lifetime for our family and Expert Africa, Freddie, made it so with his advice in the planning and reassurances through to a Dubai/ Lusaka delay.

Freddie was able to gather together a range of options that suited our budget & patiently responded to a myriad of questions put to him.

I have since recommended this company to friends/ family who usually use other operators for long haul because of the customer service and attention to detail." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Absolutely wonderful!"

I visited Tanzania between 5 Aug 2017 and 15 Aug 2017
"This trip was really enjoyable and memorable. It was organized by Elizabeth Chapman first, then it was taken over by Claire Scott.
All of my travel arrangement ran very smoothly and I had nothing to worry about.

As I stated before, I like small, rustic camps and I really love warm hospitality of the people working there. This might be one of the reasons why I don't stop going to African countries on safari." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"My Aug 2017 trip"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 5 Aug 2017 and 18 Aug 2017
"We would highly recommend Expert Africa to anyone-they are extremely knowledgable and are true experts! It is obvious that they have personally visited the hotels and places of interest and have used the airlines which meant that they could provide insightful information based on experience which was greatly appreciated.

When we required a slight detour, the team at Expert Africa organised this and ensured that our trip still ran as smoothly as it could have. Every part of our trip was extremely well organised, considered and exactly what we wanted.

We really could not have wished for better service." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday
