"Namibia in the rainy season"

I visited Namibia between 31 Jan 2014 and 22 Feb 2014

"Our trip to Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 16 Jan 2014 and 2 Feb 2014
"The trip was excellent, we will certainly recommend Expert Africa to friends, the work and attitude of Gwynneth was perfect and, as we understand she has recently left the company, we want to wish her good luck for the future. Her planning of the trip was just great, she changed some of our ideas for the better and we are very grateful to her.

As detailed above the car and attitude of Budget was not ideal and this is where these comments may be of help--we should have specified more carefully the car and its style.

Wildlife viewing in Etosha is not supposed to be ideal in January because it is the rainy season. We had some rain but had offset this concern by allocating six nights for Etosha--I could imagine other tourists being disappointed because they expect to see the big five in one day! Please feel free to contact us on any of these matters if you think we can be of help." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Trip to Namibia in January 2014"

I visited Namibia between 7 Jan 2014 and 22 Jan 2014
"Fabulous country - brilliant scenery, good accommodation, lovely food, friendly people

Couple of minor hiccups sorted out.

Only disappointment was lack of air con and ice at Desert Homestead which was otherwise a great place to stay.

Book on Namibia was very helpful. We read ahead before each change of location. It was helpful to know the best places to stop on the long car journeys

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

January is so hot - should always recommend air-con.

But we were very satisfied overall and are happy to recommend Expert Africa to anyone considering a holiday to Namibia," Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"One of Our Best Holidays !"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 15 Dec 2013 and 2 Jan 2014
"This was certainly one of our best ever holidays and up there with New Zealand and Australia. We loved Namibia even though it was the rainy season. The combination of Cape Town and Namibia was perfect. Thank you Expert Africa !

We used Air France from Manchester to Cape Town via Paris and booked this ourselves as we got good deals.

A mention about Wilderness Safaris as they were always helpful when we contacted them. Again thank you." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"A completely underrated country. Visit now!"

I visited Namibia between 9 Nov 2013 and 21 Nov 2013
"Namibia is an incredible country, and I can't imagine anyone not enjoying it. I had very high expectations for this trip, and they were exceeded. The range of scenery was mind-blowing. The country is safe and the people were very friendly. I have recommended this country to so many friends and colleagues. It has something for everyone. I don't understand why there are not more people visiting! Though, selfishly, I am happy they are not - it was incredible having so much open space to ourselves.

In retrospect, we wish we had further two nights in Etosha. We just didn't expect to see the amount of wildlife we did. Two nights in another part of the park would have been ideal. And probably four nights in Damaraland was too much. Though, both places were completely different, so I am not sure what I would have cut out!

We only went to Swakopmund for the kayaking, and I am glad we only stayed the one night. There really is not a lot to do/see in town in our view.

Even though it was the hot season, the dry temperature made it bearable, and it didn't feel like 40 degrees." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Seriously good. Most enjoyable."

I visited Namibia between 21 Oct 2013 and 7 Nov 2013
"Loved Namibia, particularly its geological diversity. Easy driving. Good food - particularly if you are a 'free-range' meat-eater.

Highlights: walk down the Quiver Tree Gorge in the Naukluft, Sessriem dune walks and Dead Vlei, reptile tracking in the desert, moonlit dinner at Ongava.

Swakopmund rather dull and uninteresting - but we expected this. Enjoyed the tented camps." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"A once in a lifetime family experience"

I visited Namibia between 15 Oct 2013 and 4 Nov 2013
"A big thank you to all at Expert Africa especially Sabina , we had such a wonderful time from the beginning to the end , every aspect was memorable to us all . We packed so much in , met so many lovely Namibians loved the utterly stunning dramatic scenery we drove through and were at times overwhelmed by the solitude that we experienced together as a family . We feel very fortunate to have been able see some of this very special unspoilt country it's people and it's beautiful wildlife .

I could go on ... we took over 5000 photographs !! I hope for my children the experience has been a wonderful introduction to Africa .
Best Wishes

"Namibia Trip Oct 2013"

I visited Namibia between 9 Oct 2013 and 20 Oct 2013
"We had a fantastic time in Namibia and would certainly recommend it as a place to visit for adventure and stunning scenery. The whole experience was made very enjoyable from start to finish by the expert help and advice from Tracy. Tracy was extremely helpful in recommending excellent accommodation which suited our itinerary and budget and giving us very knowledgeable information about the different areas we were wanting to go to.

We hired our car through a different company, but would definitely recommend paying the extra for a 2x4 car as this gives extra comfort and road clearance which gives more confidence when driving in Etosha and on some of the gravel roads.

I would certainly use Expert Africa again and recommend them to friends wanting to organise similar trips." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"My Oct 2013 trip"

I visited Namibia between 1 Oct 2013 and 8 Oct 2013
"One of the best holidays of my life. This thanks to three important factors:

1) Namibia. What a beautiful country. Landscape out of this world, close up with wild animals, great food and fantastic activities.

2) The people of Namibia. So friendly, so peaceful, you will not find it hard to make friends there.

3) Expert Africa. WOW, what a service they provide. Overall fabulous. We are so happy with all the planjing and reccomendations that next time we will travel to that area I will put all the planning in their hands. Will not even quiestion the suggestions. Also, we encountered a car break down, and Expert Africa did EVERYTHING they could to help us (even though it happened on a friday evening..). And it all worked out just fine with them helping us!"

"Exceeded our expectations"

I visited Namibia between 29 Sep 2013 and 14 Oct 2013
"We had such a good time, it's difficult to put it into words. Namibia was incredible and the camps were terrific. We had very high hopes for the holiday and they were more than exceeded.

Our highlights were the visit to the desert adapted elephants from Mowani, a day of kayaking with the seal colony and getting driven over the dunes of Sandwich Harbour with a champagne and oyster lunch (which we organised directly with Sandwich Harbour 4 x 4), and the time spent at Okakuejo waterhole.

Our lowpoints - getting enveloped by a dust devil at Okakuejo." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
