"Our holiday in Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 17 Jul 2011 and 2 Aug 2011
"We had a wonderful, truly memorable trip. All the accommodation was great, food really enjoyable and activities excellent. We saw and did lots of really interesting things eg kayaking to see the seals, climbing a dune, seeing game, walking trips. One fantastic highlight was sitting at a very quiet waterhole in Etosha, deciding we were about to leave, and then seeing 37 elephants, adults and children, coming in one group, with the matriarch at the back checking on them all! Also, wonderful, spectacular scenery and the sense of space and of people having lived here for so many centuries.

For us, the distances were easy to drive but made for quite long days. Also, we would have liked to meet a few more local people to hear about the country and their experience first hand.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

None. thanks very much for organizing a great trip." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Satisfactory vist to Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 16 Jul 2011 and 30 Jul 2011
"An excellent trip well arranged and all recomendations were very good. Would use Expert Africa again.

The Toyota Corolla was very satisfactory for this trip, comfortable and economical for three people. A 4wd would have been very nice but probably not worth the extra cost. There were many more 4wd vehicles on the roads than cars however." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"Time of our life in Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 4 Jul 2011 and 21 Jul 2011
"We had the time of our life and were overwhelmed by the experience. Every day offered a new highlight and we still debate about what was the best.

We were lucky that Namibia had received a lot of rain this year and Etosha and the Soussouvlei were still flooded, resulting in plenty of wildlife in Soussouvlei and amazing photographs of the Etosha salt pan.

I am more than happy with the service and information received and really enjoyed reading your brochures and Chris`'s guide book, which is superb and in depth." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

I visited Namibia between 4 Jul 2011 and 20 Jul 2011
"Another excellent trip. The only negative points would be we wished we had just had a room at Okaukeujo, instead of a chalet, as the kitchen had no facilities for cooking, so we could have saved a bit on the accommodation. Also Grootberg was very close to Etendeka, so we arrived at the vet fence at 9am and had to try and arrange an early pick up to the camp. We luckily managed to do so by midday, but otherwise we would have had to wait until 3.30, but as we were the only guests, Bonnie came to collect us early. There was nothing to do at Grootberg in the morning, apart from pay for a guided walk, which was expensive." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Exceeded expectations"

I visited Namibia between 4 Jul 2011 and 23 Jul 2011
"We had a great time in Namibia. There were so many highlights - but if we had to choose our favorite places they would be Etosha and Mundulea.

We wish we could have stayed longer.

"Great experience, unforgettable highlights"

I visited Namibia between 25 Jun 2011 and 2 Jul 2011
"The whole trip was excellent - well planned, organised and executed.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We had not been on a safari-type holiday before so I don't know if the Wilderness approach to engaging with the local staff is unusual, or whether that is just the Namibian way. It was all a pleasant surprise, although maybe a bit more information before travel about the Wilderness organisation might have been helpful and interesting.

The Namibia guidebook supplied before travel was great." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip
