One comment. Your warning about forged 200 rand notes came too late as we had already changed our money and we did have some trouble in getting them accepted.
In addition one petrol station would not take 100 rand notes." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
"A wonderful trip"
All the arrangements went like clockwork and the transfers were all on time and the staff excellent.
Thank you Expert Africa for making it so enjoyable and trouble free we will certainly recommend you to our friends.

As for our 3rd week, I have mixed feelings. I would certainly not advise anyone to travel to Caprivi unless they had more time than we allowed.
I greatly underestimated the time needed to get there and we spent the best part of 5 days in the car for just 2 days in Caprivi. No night game drives were on offer at any of the lodges and we were not allowed out of the vehicle in the Bush. So after the excitement of the first 2 weeks, it was rather tame and somewhat of an anticlimax.

Although my comments relating to our 3rd week are clearly rather negative, they are brought about by our own bad planning and in no way do they reflect on Expert Africa. Tracy was very helpful from the outset and we cannot fault her organizational skills.....we would not hesitate to ask her to help with our next wildlife trip."

"Namibia 2010"
We stayed in some very good lodges - for one or two nights - we should have stayed two instead of one. However, this was our choice, taking into account our budget and the time available.
Overall our trip was very good and we enjoyed a bit of luxury after our two weeks in the bush at Okonjima.
I think we were spoiled on the first two weeks for the amount of game we saw and exciting activities as our final weeks journey to Caprivi did not match that. It was however an interesting contrast to see a different part of the country and game sightings are largely a matter of luck!

Also missed air conditioning when we did not have it as Irene found it very hot in the middle of day. If accommodation does not have a/c they should at least have mesh on all windows so that one can open them after dark when it does go much cooler.
We both found that Malarone did not suit us so had to stop taking it. Were disappointed in Caprivi would not make the effort to go again, particularly as we have already been to Botswana and the Delta.

We saw so many animals, many more that I had hoped - and not just in the national parks." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
"Exceeded all expectations . . ."
apart from two lodges which did not quite meet our high hopes,it was the perfect trip......
From 4 years ago we have found Namibia & it's people much more friendly & outward going, especiall at the fuel stations where it seems that the oil companies have made large investments in buildings and most definately staff.
We will recommend (& have done so already) both yourself Sabina & Expert Africa . . . Thank you once again.
