"A wonderful trip. Not for the 1st time safari traveler. A contrast to other parts of Africa that we have traveled.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Please remind travelers that when they are traveling within Etosha National Park that they will have to pay th70 Namibian dollar fee each day that they are in the Park...not just once.

Photographs and a trip diary on Dave's own website showcasing his Namibia holiday
Dave has posted some wonderful photographs from their trip to Namibia, along with a trip diary that makes interesting reading; both of which can be found on his own website. Dave comments that Namibia was a “bucket list” destination for them and he would like to encourage any travellers planning to go there to read about the experiences they had."

"Thank you Expert Africa"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 6 Nov 2011 and 29 Nov 2011
"Expert Africa did an excellent job of organising our 3 week tour to Namibia and Botswana.

You have certainly done your homework and your knowledge of the various locations is impressive. Usually, we book our own trips, but, given the complexity of things in this area, we were happy to let you do it.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

You are already doing a great job. We felt we were dealing with a small friendly company which really listened to us, unlike Abercrombie and Kent a few years ago - that experience just about put us off travel agents for ever." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"Better than expected"

I visited Namibia between 2 Nov 2011 and 23 Nov 2011
"Very good. People friendly, service excellent on the whole.

Lots of memories of amazing places and events such as picnic on trip to Dunes from Hoodia Lodge. White napkins and chilled wine

Glad we did it. The roads were much better than we expected and the friendliness of the people who looked after us was really lovely. The trip from Hoodia Lodge to the dunes was outstanding and the yummy picnic under a tree with white wine and napkins will be talked about for a long time.

"Southern Africa Trip"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 30 Oct 2011 and 20 Nov 2011
"The somewhat complex 3 week itinerary worked very well, and surprisingly, we experienced no delays. The combination of 1 week in Namibia and 2 weeks in Botswana, worked, as expected, very well, and Expert Africa did a very good job with all the arrangements.

The transfer from Lebala to Livingstone by plane, bus, speedboat, bus in around 3 hours was truly impressive. Botswana is not a cheap destination, and more suitable for the seasoned Africa travelers who have already experienced South Africa and East Africa, and who can also appreciate the smaller creatures on safari, as the big game density can be low at times.

But overall our trip exceeded our expectations with Lagoon camp and Sossus Dune Camp being some of the high lights. The private guide we had in Namibia was exceptionally good, his name was Sebastiaan." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"A close encounter with the natural world!"

I visited Namibia between 21 Oct 2011 and 8 Nov 2011
"I loved this holiday. The only thing missing was contact with local culture and food, which was inevitable and predictable in such an under populated country.

I wish we had had one more day in Swakopmund to do a pelagic or desert tour or to go kayaking. Mushara didn't add much to the trip but I could have stayed another day at Hoodia or Entendeka, especially if it had been cool enough to walk more.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I found the one night stops less rewarding on the whole although sometimes that can't be avoided. Sabina did a good job guessing our needs from our comments which may have been contradictory at times. Perhaps a very brief set of questions at the start? Sabina was very responsive to our wish to walk and we managed quite abit even though it was very hot." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"A fantastic second trip to Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 16 Oct 2011 and 6 Nov 2011
"This was our second trip to Namibia with Expert Africa. After booking a standard itinerary last year, we developed a tailor made itinerary this year by researching lodges/locations on this website and with Gwynneth's support. We initially had difficulty getting the accommodation that we wanted on some nights. Gwynneth was extremely persistent in following up on resorts where we were waitlisted, so that in the end we managed to stay at our preferred choice for all but one location.

We thoroughly enjoyed this holiday and pretty much all aspects met or exceeded our expectations. We would have no hesitation recommending Expert Africa to anyone else considering travelling to Namibia.

"Trip exceeded expectations ..."

I visited Namibia between 12 Oct 2011 and 30 Oct 2011
"Trip exceeded expectations which were high anyway. All arrangements worked. Accommodation was excellent.

We had some tyre issues early on which caused us some worry but people at lodges were very helpful and we were soon able to get on with enjoying our holiday.

We had to cancel this holiday last year at short notice and Chris McIntyre was very understanding and supportive especially with insurers. Thanks again to Chris and Sabina for their help and understanding.

WE HAD A BRILLIANT EXPERIENCE - THANK YOU ALL!!!!

I visited Namibia between 11 Oct 2011 and 24 Oct 2011
"This was one of the best trips we have ever taken, and we have traveled quite a bit around the world. Namibia was simply fantastic. The geology and animals were breathtaking, the people friendly and helpful, and the accomodations outstanding. We felt safe and relaxed, with every day an adventure in beauty.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I am a fairly critical person and usually can think of ways for service to improve, but the service we received from Saskia was nothing short of outstanding and I can't think of a way to improve . Saskia was incredibly knowledgeable and very quickly grasped the type of trip my husband and I were looking for. She tailored the trip to meet our needs.

She went above and beyond being very responsive to our questions, by proactively looking out for us -- alerting us when she thought a plane connection was too brief and identifying and resolving overcharges by budget rental car. She was always pleasant. The map she provided us was terrific -- clearly outlining our journey and highlighting the places we would stay, so we had no trouble finding them. We had not a single glitch in the trip. All the vouchers were provided and accepted. The information sheets for each place we were to stay were helpful.

If Saskia represents the spirit and effort of Expert Africa, we can say without reservation that it is a top notch organization. We would recommend it to others and would use Expert Africa services again." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
