I visited Namibia between 10 Sep 2008 and 25 Sep 2008
"The holiday lived up all our expectations of the desert and was enhanced by the animal sightings. Our experience was hugely added to by the efficiency of service but above all by the friendliness of everyone we met. What a joy to see smiling faces and genuine welcomes.
We were impressed by the high standard of accommodation and the care taken to made them fit into the landscape and the privacy afforded to each cabin.
We can't stop without a word about the singing and drumming. What a sound and enthusiasm from all the staff ( we wondered if we were going to get fed one night as no one seemed to want to stop.)
A magical holiday.
Suggestions for improvement:
We were very happy with the service you provided. Your company seems to have a good reputation in Namibia both with people we met and with accommodations we stayed in.
PS. Best wishes from Florencia to Sabina." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"Brilliant"
I visited Namibia between 10 Sep 2008 and 26 Sep 2008
"The trip ran smoothly, all the bookings worked, the accommodation at the rest camps was of a higher standard than expected.
We would recommend this trip to other people.
However, don't let your credit card out of your sight as ours was cloned and money withdrawn. We are not sure where this happened but definitely not any of the places we stayed." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia Sep 08"
I visited Namibia between 4 Sep 2008 and 22 Sep 2008
"Fantastic, we're already planning our next trip. A very memorable holiday, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Suggestions for improvement:
Just one - the travel notes say that an adaptor for South Africa and Namibia is hard to find, and it may be better to take a UK power lead and re-wire it to a local plug. This isn't very helpful, because most power leads for battery chargers and shavers have sealed plugs, so you can't disconnect them without damaging them. However, I think the adaptors are becoming more widely available - I found them at Nomad Travel shops, at Selfridges, on Amazon, at Heathrow and at Johannesburg Airport, and if I'd kept looking no doubt I would have found them in lots of other places."

"We would love to return"
I visited Namibia between 3 Sep 2008 and 19 Sep 2008
"As Africa/Namibia virgins we were perhaps not quite as prepared for the long distances involved as we thought and got very tired at times whilst we acclimatised to the gravel roads and heat. You need to be prepared to get going early in the day, something we were not terribly good at in the beginning especially with all the wonderful wildlife and stunning scenery to photograph.
With hindsight it would perhaps be better not to try and cover such a large area but on the whole it was fantastic to do what we did, we felt we had had a real adventure and met some wonderful, charming people. All Sabina's arrangements for us went perfectly and we would like to thank her very much for her care and attention." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

I visited Namibia between 25 Aug 2008 and 4 Sep 2008
"The accomodations were superb and the locations allowed us maximum game viewing, which was our prime purpose.
Tracy was correct in that we took on more driving than recommended. We were fortunate that we had no car trouble, but it did cause concern in certain areas, particularly in the north." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"One of our best holiday trip, it was!
Do not want to come back home!

I can't think of any.
What I found the brochure is very informative and interesting. Useful way to broaden our horizons and to see on what to expect whilst planning our itinerary." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"We have just returned from our holiday in Namibia, and I must thank you for helping us organise such a wonderful trip!
Namibia is a fantastic holiday destination; the people are welcoming and hospitable, and we had no problems. The standard of the accommodation that you recommended to us far exceeded our expectations, and the food and service was all top quality.
So thank you for your help, and will make sure we recommend our friends that Namibia is the perfect holiday destination (and to book through Expert Africa)!

I'll have to think hard on this one...... nope , nothing springs to mind.
