It is a fantastic country with so much to offer - we liked the emphasis on eco friendly and sustainable tourism.
We have returned home really relaxed and envigorated from all the experiences with nature.

We would like to thank you for organising such an excellent trip for us. The accomodation you chose was very good and mostly excellent. The maps and directions were very helpful and meant we never got lost! Any queries we had were handled promptly and efficiently. We would highly recommend Expert Africa to friends and family - the service you gave us was most professional and while we were travelling independently we always felt that your professional advice was only a phone call away if we needed it - which is a great back-up and support when you are holidaying in a country very remote from your own home.
The information you gave us on the 200 rand notes was extremely helpful as the bank here in Ireland tried to give us 200 rand notes and had not been aware of any problem with them - and we read in a newspaper in Namibia that they were not acceptable and even newly printed 200 rand notes were not being accepted by some buisnesses."

Hard to think how you could have improved it. I think it was a shame we did not listen to the advice regarding our last camp in Botswana and feel she should have told us how little wild life ther was at Selinda. She did inform us the wild life was not as good here but there was very little." Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip
"Holiday of a lifetime (so far....)"
At one of the resorts Wilderness Safaris left a questionnaire asking us to comment on our visit, and I think 'life changing' was one of the available options. We avoided this classification as we thought it was completely over the top. But now we're home with time to think about it, we're not so sure...."

"Namibia-Botswana"
"A great return"
Every time I visit Namibia something or someone unexpected turns up such as the sign by the side of the dirt road in the 'middle of nowhere' that said 'Take a break - Teas available round the corner'. Thus it was that we met Philip who had converted an old farmhouse into a B&B and whose place was the only building around for many a mile.

Just one: please get some of the lodges to buy an astronomical telescope - they only cost about £200 for a decent one and it would allow guests to benefit from another of Namibia's assets - its night sky.
Gwynneth was absolutely wonderful in arranging this holiday. Many thanks." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

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
"A Well Organised Trip"
The accommodation was excellent and staff everywhere were friendly and helpful.
A few tips for others. Don't believe time estimates for journeys given by locals. Add about 25% to get an accurate driving time. Unless you're sticking to tarred roads, it's well worth getting at least a high clearance 2WD vehicle, such as the Nissan X-Trails. There are a lot of large and sharp stones on many of the gravel roads. These are particularly bad around Palmwag and on the approach (from the south) to Wolwedans."

"self-drive trip through Namibia and Kgalagadi"
This year was our 9th fly-drive visit to Namibia and 2nd to the Kgalagadi. We still believe there is no better place to see wildlife than Namibia closely followed by Botswana. If there is an increase in retirement pensions in April we'll be booking another trip!!
Thank you Expert Africa. You're the best tour operator we've found - scrupulously thorough and helpful.

How can you improve on perfection?" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 15 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.

"Wildlife Photography in Etosha"
The game viewing was excellent and I would urge people to spend more than a day or two in Etosha if they really want to see the wildlife.
