Namibia: reviews from our travellers

"Very satisfactory really does do justice to the experience. The scenery, the lodges, the people, the wildlife, the tours, the food; it was all wonderful!

Sabina was very patient, efficient and helpful throughout the booking process. Everything was well explained and ran like clockwork. Well done Expert Africa and thank you." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Our trip was more than good. I cannot say more. We have just arrived back home this very early morning. But we can say that if we're going on another trip to lovely Namibia, or to some other country in Africa, we would like to let you arrange the details for it. We are used to handle our own arrangements, but we do realize that it's worth it all letting you do it, making it much more pleasant for us to take care about our on-spot-experiences.

We also went to Cape Town, but that was our own arrangement, although we were so lucky to have a free apartment in Vredehoek for two weeks. Things have changed there since I was there 40 years back as a very young sailor!

"A wonderful trip from start to finish.

I think I can sum it up best by saying the whole family are already planning our next trip to Africa with Expert Africa!

The reason for chosing your company in the first place was the detailed and helpful email response to our initial enquiry. You hit exactly the right note of being informative and reassuring without making us feel like we had no idea what we were talking about! I would go so far as to say that your detailed initial response was the best we have received during our years of holidaying." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip

"It was outstanding.

Very well organized - thank you Sabina for all your hard work, care and suggestions. We will be back in the near future and hope that Sabina will look after us for a third time.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Get another car-hire firm or make it clear that they must deliver what is promised and payed for - we got only one spare wheel though payed for two.

But that is a minor complaint compared to our overall appreciation and enjoyment. Thank you" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"We were delighted with Expert Africa and would definitely recommend them to anyone. Some friends recommended them to us and we thank them.

We would certainly use them again but not use any Budget vehicles. Fortunately we had two experienced 4 x 4 drivers with us otherwise we are not sure what we would have done being stranded at the airport in Walvis Bay. Budget could have ruined our holiday so expertly arranged by Expert Africa." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip

"All went according to plan with no problems. We have highlighted only 2 things that were not up to standard but not of your doing.
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the organisation by yourselves was first class as always.

We asked for our documentation to be sent early as we were leaving our home in Portugal a few days before the part of our holiday that you organised and it arrived even earlier than we expected. Thank you for that.

Can't wait for the next one!

"Namibia is a beautiful country and we recommend a trip there!

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!

No further suggestions - we would be very happy to use Expert Africa yet again" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Also helped by Gwnneth, as well as Angela, who was equally helpful. Everything worked out well. We had a fantastic holiday & won't hesitate to recommend Expert Africa.

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.

"An excellent trip to a fascinating country which we enjoyed immensely.

The only regret we had was not having a 4X4.

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

I particularly compliment you on your website which is the best of its kind I have seen." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip
