"Namibia and Botswana in Novemer"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 5 Nov 2008 and 25 Nov 2008
"We made the big mistake of putting the trip back from October to November, with the rains arriving very heavily and promptly. We did experience some pretty spectacular storms which sent the animals into the green bush, we must be among the few people who went to Chobe and didnt see an elephant.
It was a lesson to me to research the weather pattern better,and not to be put off by difficulty wih accomodation to push the dates on to a less favourable season
This is not to say that we had a great well organised trip, in which all your arrangemets were well thought out, lodges well selected, and went like clockwork.
We would certainly travel with expert africa again." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"Wild Dogs and Fishing"
I visited Botswana between 13 Sep 2008 and 22 Sep 2008
"We couldn't have asked for more from our trip.
We saw some amazing wildlife and caught some superb fish. We saw the Tsodilo Hils, a long held ambition, and the camps, particularly Lebala, are of a very high standard.
Many thanks to Lucy - particularly for putting us in the right place to see Wild Dogs. We would recommend Expert Africa to anyone." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Namibia a great African destination"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 13 Jun 2008 and 4 Jul 2008
"Just to say we are all back from our trip to Africa and we had a terrific time, saw some fabulous animals and birds.
As a country I think it is probably the best in Southern Africa to visit as it has terrific game viewing, contrasts in scenery, friendly peoply, a feeling of safety and all at a reasonable price.
Suggestions for improvement:
Just keep doing what you are doing altthough it might be worth telling clients about the potential upgrade on Air Namibia as it is not necessarily offered, we found out about it through Trip Advisor or a similar site.
But overall thanks for a great holiday" Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"As expected :)"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 18 Jul 2007 and 10 Aug 2007
"The trip was well organised, long drives nicely broken up, acommodation at times even exceeded high expectations. We felt that Claires recommendations for alternative accomodation were particularly good.
It is our feeling that the situation in Etosha will need careful monitoring. If the prices continue to rise dramatically then Hobatere might make a more cost effective alternative. The metalled road to Hobatere once complete also makes this more accessible.
We both felt that Etosha may try to price itself at luxury prices. Game drives at night in Etosha were 450 Namibian dollars, ridiculous compared to Hobatere." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip
