I visited Namibia between 8 Oct 2008 and 31 Oct 2008
"Excellent, apart from Sossus Dune Lodge. The distance between the airport and Erongo was a bit much, we thought, after an overnight flight, but Tracy tells me that there is nowhere suitable to stay in between." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

I visited Namibia between 4 Oct 2008 and 21 Oct 2008
"Our second triip to Namibia and all went well. We are in our late 60s and were a bit concerned about going up to the Caprivi but roads are excellent and nothing to worry us - though if we were to go again I think we would choose a cooler time of year (if there is one) and/or confine ourselves to accommodation with air conditioning.

Two warnings

1. Petrol is evidently a problem beyond Rundu. There was none at Kongola and only 93 octane at Divundu when we needed to fill up for our return journey

2. As we drove from Windhoek to the airport for our return flight a car overtook us and shouted out that we had a flat tyre. I thought the car was driving normally and carried on to the airport parking where our tyres seemed perfectly OK, so I think this was an attempted confidence trick. Unfortunately I failed to get the registration number." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"A most memorable experience"

I visited Namibia between 3 Oct 2008 and 24 Oct 2008
"This trip more that met with my expectations. I had imagined sitting in the tented accommodation looking out on the wilderness but the reality of actually doing just that was just wonderful.

Each location was small enough to feel the isolation and give us the freedom. We were able to feel the vastness and stillness of it all. All the accommodation was of a very high standard and comfortable but still gave us the feeling of being out in the wild.

It is a wonderful country with wonderful people and we were encouraged by the amount of conservation taking place and the help given to orphaned and under priviledged children in the Wilderness Safari camps." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"Wonderful Southern African Trip"

I visited South Africa and 1 other country between 1 Oct 2008 and 7 Nov 2008
"We were impressed by the luxury of the accommodation throughout - perhaps 'good' given to some establishments on this feedback only because some others were particularly 'excellent'.

The variety of scenery and the distances travelled between stops was well thought out and we'd enjoyed the liaison to work the itinerary out before the trip.

It was very special for us and Completely lived up to expectations.
Huge thank you." Read full review: 37 nights in Africa; 12 on a South Africa trip

"A wonderful holiday"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 28 Sep 2008 and 12 Oct 2008
"An unforgettable trip. Everything worked well and repayed careful planning. We did 3000km in two weeks. This was far enough. We know some try and do too much and this must be a mistake as one needs to stop and draw breath and experience the desert.

Maruska was a great help when I was struggling to organise the trip on my own.

I will certainly use Expert Africa again

Suggestions for improvement:

I was very impressed with the guidebiook which became our bible. The only shortcoming was the comment on Swartfontein in the guidebook. The italians left four years ago and the new owners, although perfectly nice, are very much concentrating on hunting and those of a mild disposition may find it uncomfortable if there are hunters amongs their fellow guests.

Thanks Maruska for your care and attention." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

I visited Botswana and 3 other countries between 21 Sep 2008 and 8 Oct 2008
"The booking of Camps Bay was a poor recomendation for a 3 night of stay . After my several sugestions of Waterfront in Cape town we accpted the idea that it was very expensive and not much diference in acess. Wrongly and fortunately Camps Bay Retreat Management saved our stay by moving us to Waterfront Village,with superb location and rooms. This location is near shops restaurants and we allways felt safe. Please thank on my behalf Camps Bay Retreate Management" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"Memories of Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 19 Sep 2008 and 8 Oct 2008
"We loved Namibia, we felt totally secure and in control throughout and met some really lovely people.

Wildlife was a key reason for going and we were not disappointed. There are some things I think we should have done differently in hindsight; firstly we should have gone for a bigger car - the guides state that the roads are excellent and the tarred roads are exactly that. The gravel roads where we mostly drove though are rutted and in part quite dangerous and our mid-sized car had problems. Some days we drove 6+ hours with big 4x4s fyling past, we should have gone for a bigger car.

Secondly - we should have taken advice and stayed at somewhere other than Waterberg which was no where near as good as we expected.

Finally - we underestimated the time it would take to travel between locations, down to the roads again." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
