Namibia: reviews from our travellers
Unedited reviews written by our most recent Namibia travellers
"Excellent"
"Enjoyable trip"
We love the vastness and openess of the place and the scenery can be breathtaking at times Take a trip up any riverbed and in particular the Swakop River and sit back and be prepared to be blown away by mother nature. Even driving along some of its awful roads is great fun (you must have the right vehicle though!) but the tarred roads we found to be in very good conditon with very little traffic. Put on a CD and enjoy the drive!! You never know what you will see along the way!
Namibia is very expensive though, a complaint made by nearly every other tourist we chatted to and even the localsfeel that we tourists are ripped off with very high charges. It is something the Namibian Tourist Board needs to seriously look at. Not everyone who would love to go there is wealthy!

"My Jan 2012 trip"
It seemed expensive when we booked it, but worth it when you consider the benefits of an individual trip & how well looked after you are.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Currency - can't remember if you advised it or I read it somewhere but took all my Rand/Namibian $'s in 100 notes, fellow travellers sometimes had difficulty using 200 notes. Likewise in Vic Falls, cash machines empty, hotel credit card machine not working. fortunately being prepaid didn't affect us, but no one could give change for ea $10 note if you bought a coke, so essential you take lots of small notes.
Thank you all for a memorable trip.

I was most impressed with all my dealings with Expert Africa. Apart from Angela I also dealt with Gwnyeth who was also most helpful.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It would be helpful to have an estimate as to how long it takes to drive between the camps.
Tell people that if they hire the second spare wheel for hire cars that it is not carried externally and luggage space in the boot will be halved so soft bags would be the best luggage and not cases." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip
