"Our Jun 2025 family trip to Namibi"

I visited Namibia between 2 Jun 2025 and 16 Jun 2025
"As always, the trip was organized perfectly by Expert Africa (Sabina).

Her insights, knowledge, and organizing skills made this a wonderful experience.

Responsiveness and willingness to help (delayed flights, emergency) was great.

With Expert Africa we get so much more out of a vacation than with a standard operator." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2025 trip"

I visited Namibia between 26 May 2025 and 1 Jun 2025
"I expected great from Namibia and was not disappointed, the country is extremely interesting, beautiful, and the view of the reddish dunes and the crystal blue sky over is just stunning.

The air is very clean, there is no pollution, the southern chmisphere sky is unbelievable. Seeing 3 white rhino mothers with 3 babies in one spot is breathtaking. Also, seeing the big herd of elephants from a hideaway viewpoint in Ongava, just meters away, and being able to hear every breath and slurp of water to the trunks, it is just unreal.

Unforgettable trip, I will be back for sure.

Big thank you to Karen for her support and making this trip possible." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia between 23 Apr 2025 and 1 May 2025"

I visited Namibia between 23 Apr 2025 and 2 May 2025
"Firstly we must give thanks to Karen and Tracy for all their help and advice, making this trip a fabulous experience.

All the transfers to and from our accommodation and the airport went smoothly with the vehicles arriving on time, and all of the drivers were pleasant pointing out places of interest on the route and answering our questions, some of which no doubt they will have been asked a thousand or more times !

Overall an amazing experience one that will remain in our memories for ever. Both places we stayed at where both peaceful and relaxing environments, this helped to switch off and enjoy the accommodation and the facilities offered." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"A unique and memorable adventure"

I visited Namibia between 11 Apr 2025 and 27 Apr 2025
"The trip overall was absolutely amazing, an adventure we will always remember and cherish!

In addition to the feedback already provided there are a few other things we would like to mention. As stated in The Delight feedback, there was a full day tour to Sandwich Harbor and Walvis Bay that was pre-paid and confirmed in our itinerary but was actually not booked.

Sabina was very attentive and helpful in the beginning as we were developing the itinerary and exploring options. However, later on in the process we found communication with her to be hit or miss. There was more than one occasion where our emails went unanswered and required follow up. Particularly frustrating was the fact that we did not receive our travel packet until days before departure. I had asked Sabina about the status of this in at least two earlier emails which she did not answer in her replies.

Once she discovered that the documents had not been shipped yet (just a bit more than one week from our departure) she said she would send them out and hopefully they would arrive in time. Only after I asked to have the shipment expedited did she offer to do so - seems like that should've been automatic given the timeline. Obviously this did not leave us much time to read through the guide, etc." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"My Apr 2025 trip"

I visited Namibia between 1 Apr 2025 and 17 Apr 2025
"The route was well balanced, car drive and plane at the end.

All camps from WIlderness do have couple of star above all other ones that we have been on Namibia
Also very comfortable having land strips near by the Wilderness camps.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

For for this trip I was super well taken care off.
It is seamless the service form Expert Africa with Wilderness Safari ( Which was my concern). Congratulations you were able to make it happen.

Thought I would run into some problems with logistics, but none showed up.
Incredible!!!

Next trip with you guys will be in Botswana next year!!!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Mar 2025 trip"

I visited Namibia between 17 Mar 2025 and 3 Apr 2025
"Namibia was a great country to visit and we enjoyed the overall trip. We had the misfortune of travelling during one of the wettest periods in recent years which really impacted wildlife viewing and a few other experiences. But overall we enjoyed our time there."

"Namibia March 2025"

I visited Namibia between 5 Mar 2025 and 19 Mar 2025
"We had high expectations for this, our first trip, to Namibia and they were absolutely met and exceeded.

Namibia is a magical country and we had amazing, once in a lifetime experiences every day that couldn't fail to move us. This really was a trip that kept on giving in the most profound way.

The expanse, emptiness and beauty of the landscapes really must be seen to be believed and the warmth of the people (especially those we met at Doro Nawas) felt so sincere, it quickly felt like home.

Sabina put together a fantastic itinerary for us and we felt she really took on board and understood our preferences. It was a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation and ticked all our boxes (even some we didn't know we had).

We hope Namibia will welcome us again in the future and we wouldn't hesitate to use Expert Africa again and to recommend it to other travellers.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We're not sure how it could have been improved - everything was excellent, heartfelt thanks to all involved." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

South Africa more relaxed but Babylostoren disappointing." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
