"My Jul 2015 trip"
Sabina is worthy of particular mention, as she really knew Namibia well and so was able to give accurate and re-assuring advice. She was always courteous and nothing was too much trouble. Expert Africa give superb attention to detail and provide lots of useful information before the trip, which ensures the trip goes smoothly. Any issues, which were limited during or after the trip were dealt with very quickly and efficiently.
I would recommend Expert Africa without reservation.
The website is also very helpful when researching your trip." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip
"I Loved My Trip to Africa"
We saw 3 of the "Big 5" which was a little disappointing but I guess that just gives us an excuse to come back to see the rhino and leopards. There was also quite a bit of overlap between the game activities offered by the Zambezi Queen and the Muchenje camp.
I was very happy with my trip.

"June 2015"
Have to get wet in the Smoke that Thunders.
Susuwe Island Lodge, peacefully exhilarating. Game drives on the water, and on land were exceptional. Guide was terrific.
CHobe Chilwero was a diamond. Facilities, food and staff were unbelievable. The animal interaction was the best! Tracked a Lion pride of 12 lion for almost 2 hours, up close and personal." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 2 on a Namibia trip
"Another Amazing Adventure in Namibia/Botswana"
Everything went smoothly from the arrival of the brochure to our arrival in Namibia and our return home.
Sabina organised an excellent trip for us - was that Sabina that we met at Doro Nawas? we thought it was but perhaps were wrong.
Nothing can replace the absolute peace we feel either looking at the stars or sitting round a waterhole late at night . The long empty roads are a joy to drive and arriving at such magical destinations incomparable. We feel that we had several holidays all rolled in to one - a couple by the river, in Etosha, at wonderful Doro Nawas, the seaside, and then Sossusvlei.
Just one amazing adventure.

"Expert Africa lives up to its name - again"
Everything ran like clockwork, and I don't think there is a thing that, in retrospect, we would have done differently.
Thank you Expert Africa." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"Great trip to Africa"
I would have driven from Onguma straight to Ndhovu now that I know how long it is and I was happy with the car but it did struggle in a few places so I might up to a Corolla next time.
We did buy a better map than the one provided and the one place where we ran into trouble a south African couple with a Tracks 4 Africa map really helped us out, but that was our fault for being where we were. I have zero other complaints though and think Sabina did a good job helping us out." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
"Great visit to Botswana"
We loved the Kalahari - the size, space, remoteness and sense of peace, and were very impressed at the amount game there - big herds of springbok and oryx. The Delta was special - the sense of peace, and the colours. The game was great - big herds of elephant, plus giraffe, Kudu, Oryx, Impala. We got very lucky and saw 4 adult leopard and 3 cubs over the course of the trip, plus lion hunting buffalo (unsuccessfully!).
The people are delightful - warm, relaxed and friendly, and of course the quality of guiding is very good." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
