"Overall Feedback"

I visited Namibia between 6 Sep 2011 and 19 Sep 2011
"Let's leave Budget car-hire to one side as that is not within your control or responsibility.

What can I say? Absolutely wonderful holiday. Brilliant, spectacular, excellent.
Everything was very good - from the initial help and assistance with deciding on a route, through booking, and the comprehensive information provided beforehand.

"3 weeks in Namibia, Botswana & Victoria Falls"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 3 Sep 2011 and 23 Sep 2011
"Well thought out trip - excellent recommendations based on evident local knowledge & adapted to our requirements which were wide-ranging. We were after more than a safari experience - desert, dunes, activities, culture & Victoria Falls were all on our 'list'. Kept us up to date on waiting lists which eventually got us into Sossus Dune & Nxamaseri Lodges - both excellent. Overall, the lodges, accommodation & game viewing trips were good to excellent.

Thanks to Angela & all the team who helped for a first class trip.

"Good memories of Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 3 Sep 2011 and 21 Sep 2011
"Highs- Has to be Etendeka, Kayaking, game viewing, Vingerklip.

Lows- Let down by River Crossing and Etosha Aoba lodge.

Car hire still needs improving, your advice booklet was useful.

This was an enjoyable and exciting adventure in a beautiful country full of contrasts." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"A wonderful 3+ week adventure"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 1 Sep 2011 and 25 Sep 2011
"We all had the most woderful holiday imaginable, and all want to go back.

There were only 2 places that we would not want to revisit, Palmwag and Camp Kwando, our comments have already been recorded.
We had some trouble in Rundu, when a rucksac was stolen from the car, despite 1 of our men sitting in the car! We feel it would be helpful, if in future people going near Rundu, are warned to take extra care, not to leave cars unattended, and even if stationary in the car, lock all doors and windows.

At Ndhovu, we were told Rundu is a bad place, with handbags stolen from cars with people sitting in them, being distracted. There was a lot of noise and activity there making the opening of a car door, silently, relatively simple. (The people at Ndhovu put a lot of blame on people coming from Angola)

200 Rand notes do now seem to be accepted.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Tracy has been superb to deal with, very helpful at all times, guiding me in directions that were needed, and meeting all the needs of the 6 of us who travelled together. Sabrina took over very efficiently when Tracy went on maternity leave.

I would not hesitate to recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 20 on a Namibia trip

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 28 Aug 2011 and 23 Sep 2011
"The trip as a whole was wonderful. Everything went smoothly despite being in Africa!!

Driving in Namibia is really straightforward and the distances were not a problem at all.
Everybody very friendly.

We went mainly for the scenery and landscapes and were not disappointed.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We stopped at Tsumeb by chance which was a lovely town. Maybe you could make suggestions to your clients for 1 or 2 hr stops in nice places along their route to wander around or for lunch.

I know we needed to stop at / near Swakopmund because of length of journey from Sossus to Kipwe but apart from the kayaking which we enjoyed the town did nothing for us. So easy to be wise after the event but 1 night here and an extra one at Wolwedans or Okonjima would have been a much better use of time for us."

"Great Holiday"

I visited Namibia between 6 Aug 2011 and 21 Aug 2011
"The trip has been fantastic. Our expectations have been fully met, and we are especially thankful to Tracy who has been amazing at understanding what we wanted to do and see in Namibia.
The only two negative opinions on accommodation has been on the most expensive places, that were actually picked up as second-third choices: we understood that brochures/websites only tell so little of a place in Africa - quality of service does matter a lot, our only change to our trip would be focus more on that when choosing lodges."
