Everything went so smoothly I really can't add anything at all." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Well planned section of our overall holiday"
They performed all this perfectly, except perhaps the last occasion when the planned car was a little late because all the petrol stations were closed by power cuts, so quite understandable. Replacement vehicle arrived very promptly.

We had heard of Expert Africa from someone who had been to Namibia with you, and you obviously knew the area very well; we did not seek any other quotations. In the event it was, for us, a good decision not ot try and squeeze in a short game park visit." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
"A First Class Foray"
The high bird count was in part a reflection of the season. But we also felt that we benefitted in that respect – and similarly with mammals – from staying in four very different terroirs during our trip, ie the “mighty Zambezi” just above Vic Falls, Linyanti, the Delta and the Kalahari. And, needless to say, we would not have been anything like as successful without expert guides in all four camps in which we stayed.
Given the amount of moving around we did – more than usual, especially when one includes the day-trip into Zimbabwe – we should also note that the logistics worked throughout with commendable smoothness thanks to a combination of your planning and extremely competent and pleasant people looking after us locally.
In sum, this was a great trip." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"Namibia touring Dec 2009"
The lodges we chose we fantastic with excellent and knowledgable staff and guides, as it was low season we often went out on our own and had personnal service which was a bonus.
We had a trip of a lifetime and look forward to another trip to Africa in 2011" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip
"overall"
There were some good things; the Xlaus camp, the drive from Upington to Augrabies. le Must guest house. Some poor things; Augrabies Rest camp and the size of the car in Cape Town and some average things; South Africa airlines." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 5 on a South Africa trip
"Etosha Experience"
Suggestions for improvements:
Need to include information that cautions people about speeding in Windhoek, other towns and within 15 kilometres of such towns.Penalties for speeding rise rapdily.
For example 130 kph in a 120 kph levies a fine of N$175. I inadvertently was travelling at 130 kph in a 120 kph and when stopped the Police expected me to travel back to the local police station to immediately pay the fine which would have delayed my check in at Etosha. The Police left me off with a warning.IT IS VERY EASY TO EXCEED THE SPEED LIMIT ON A LONG STRAIGHT TAR ROAD WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
"Trip as a whole"
We did however end the trip feeling a bit uncomfortable being affluent tourists in such an obviously poor country, especially as under our own arrangements we visited a San community, who are more underprivileged than most." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip
