Namibia: reviews from our travellers

"Simply wonderful.

It was a great trip, wonderfully organised and we were very well looked after by everyone everywhere we stayed.

Can't imagine how we could have had a better honeymoon!" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"Our expectations wre totally met and more.

Suggestions for improvement:

we would certainly like to thank Sabina for her help. Having done three trips previously we knew what we wanted and some of Sabina's suggestions turned out to be great." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"Your link up with Wilderness Safaris works very well. Everything ran incredibly smoothly and taxis and planes were always where they were meant to be and when. We all enjoyed the trip enormously.

If we go down to Fish River Canyon next year we would not go back to Canon Lodge (which we would never recommend) and would like to try somewhere else.

Well done Sabina for your help and patience in organizing the trip - much appreciated." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 3 on a Namibia trip

"Excellent in every respect.

The trip was superbly organised and a lot of care was taken by Sabina to ensure it matched up to our expectations.

The country is amazing and varied with excellent ecologically aware accommodation everywhere which is a pleasure to stay in.

Cannot think of a single thing. We'll be back to you next year for another trip." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Our second visit to Namibia and a wonderful prelude to the longer trip planned for 2009. It was great to revisit some areas (though in different accommodation) and try some new places. Okonjima was in easy reach of the airport, even though we flew BA via Jo'burg and didn't arrive at Windhoek until 2pm. We met many people who regretted spending their first night in Windhoek rather than venturing further, but also some who were exhausted on arrival and just wanted a sleep - it has to be a personal decision.

Damaraland had been beautiful in the dry season but after the rains it was stunning with river beds full of flowers - and even some water!

After much debate in the UK we decided when in Namibia to drive the Skeleton Coast road (after taking local advice) and had no problems at all - it was a fascinating, though long, drive and we're really glad we did it; however we probably wouldn't choose to do it again. Local advice is crucial if you want to do this drive.

We saw no rain at all - apparently it had all come early this year.

Thanks to Tracy, Sabina and Chris for their help in organising the trip at pretty short notice - think they surprised themselves in finding availabilities!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"Wonderful. Smooth and everything I had hoped for." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip

"We found Namibia surprisingly fascinating, although we have travelled a great deal in the region. We already consider going again." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"All accommodation more than acceptable.
Expert Africa reputation held in high regard concerning honesty/arrangements etc.

Overall standard of food excellent but portion sizes greater than European norm, e.g. Ploughmans at Grootberg Lodge had excess meat.
Also cold puddings more acceptable than hot 'solid' puddings.

Suggestions for improvements:

No! We have been more than satisfied with service provided." Read full review: 49 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"Apart from Villa Verdi ,another good trip

Suggestions for improvements:

We are very happy with the service from Expert Africa for more than 10 years now" Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"It was a wonderful trip. It was very efficiently organised by Sabina and there were no hitches at all. With only one exception, the accommodation and service surpassed our expectations.

We were particularly impressed by the guides. They were all so motivated and had an amazing knowledge of the flora and fauna. We were looked after by so many friendly and helpful people.

It was our first trip to Africa and we were so impressed by all that we saw. We're already planning another trip and would certainly choose Expert Africa again.

Suggestions for improvement:

We can't think of any" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
