"Our Sep-Oct 2019 African trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 28 Sep 2019 and 21 Oct 2019
"It was amazing! We had a wonderful time, especially in Botswana. The scenery and the lodges in Namibia were exceptional but our enjoyment of them was tempered by the poor condition of many of the unmaintained gravel roads. The government should get on to this if they are serious about the importance of tourism to their economy."

"Our September 2019 trip to Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 21 Sep 2019 and 5 Oct 2019
"We had a wonderful trip. We loved Namibia, the diversity of its landscapes, animals, birds and flora, and in particular the friendly welcome and fantastic level of service almost everywhere.
We only saw snakes in display tanks, and a single dead spider in a bin (so happy, happy days for two members of the family) but we were thrilled with the rest of our wildlife experiences and will never forget our sadly-too-short visit to Namibia.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Can't fault Expert Africa.
Tracy was knowledgeable, patient, had lots of common sense, honest advice and inspiring ideas. Thanks Tracy!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"The Namibian Engagement"
I visited Namibia between 15 Sep 2019 and 6 Oct 2019
"I had planned our engagement in Dead Vlei in great detail and even ending up in the wrong pan and there being no sunrise (fog) couldn't detract from it being an amazing location, possibly my favourite and a truly amazing country. I wanted to show Agita what all the fuss was about and Namibia didn't fail to deliver once again.
Thank goodness she said yes as we still had 14 days to spend in a car together - could have been a bit embarrassing
I would like to thank the EA team with special thanks to Megan (who sorted out a few wrinkles during the trip) for all their support and also the Wilderness team for getting our luggage to us at Wolvedans which is greatly appreciated, as we were starting to small by day four.

"Unforgetful trip to Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 1 Sep 2019 and 22 Sep 2019
"Expert Africa had organized trips for us before and we were always satisfied.
This time, our contact is Tracy. She did an excellent job. We discussed on the phone our interest and expectation. The hôtels she recommeded were great. It was her advice to have the rental car delivered to BullsPort rather than we went back to Windhoek to collect the car. It saved us time and driving. We wanted to stay in the Fish River Lodge and by the time we confirmed the trip, it was not available. She followed through with the lodge and at the end, we got a room.
We had a lovely trip !
A big Thank You to Tracy !

"Amazing Southern African Safari"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 31 Aug 2019 and 2 Oct 2019
"Overall it was a great trip and very well organized. Despite our booking the trip rather late EA managed to provide us a good mix of accommodation and we can honestly say that only one or two places were below average, most were excellent. Had we booked earlier I'm sure we would have been able to secure more first choice accommodation.
If we are fortunate to plan another trip to Africa in the future, we will definitely consider Expert Africa again, as well as recommend them to others." Read full review: 32 nights in Africa; 20 on a Namibia trip

"Fantastic Holiday in Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 30 Aug 2019 and 15 Sep 2019
"I know it is always a leap of faith, in who to book your holiday with. However, don't be hesitant. Expert Africa were fantastic from the first contact to the last.
The whole holiday was planned and executed with the precision that you would expect from a company that has 'Expert' in their title.
I would not hesitate to book with Expert Africa again and I would recommend them as a First Class company." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
