"We loved everything about our trip. The choice of lodges was excellent. The car hire perfect. The route on the map was good and we didn't get lost. Frankly it would be hard to do better.

Thank you" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"In arranging this trip your staff listened carefully to our expectations and wishes, discussed with us which places would suit and provided us with a comprehensive view of Namibia with so much of its variety and wonderful peoples.

The materials you provided added so much.

Thank you all!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"Our second visit to Namibia and every bit as good as the first with spectacular scenery and a very high standard of accommodation.

Peter, our guide/ driver was excellent and added to our experience. The activities were varied and we saw more wildlife than expected. Kolmanskop was excellent but the tour to Elisabeth Bay was an unnecessary add on in our view. We had a very uninspiring guide (Helmut) and would have enjoyed more time at Kolmanskop instead. Peter picked up our frustration with the guide but it wasn’t appropriate for him to do anything at the time.

We are already thinking about another trip!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"More than met our expectations - we had a fantastic time.

The accommodation was mostly outstanding - we could hardly believe some of the rooms were ours!

The itinerary worked really well. We were fortunate to see a huge amount of wildlife and to have the opportunity to enjoy the scale of the landscape. The roads were sometimes interesting! The Renault Duster was lovely to drive.

'Solitaire' was well worth a stop.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No [Ed: suggestions] - but we would like to thank Tom for his involvement in what proved to be a memorable trip.

Including the guidebook and marking the route on the map was particularly helpful.

Thank you." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"Maruska was so great to work with! It all started with a phone call to your main number. Although I'm in the US and she's in New Zealand, the time and geographical difference didn't matter. She encouraged me to rent a car which initially worried me but I'm so glad that we did. It gave us a lot of flexibility. She was right, we didn't need to rent a GPS. We did buy a SIM card at the Windhoek airport along with some data. That was essential for navigating Windhoek and Swakomund. Thanks goodness for Google maps.

We exchanged many emails and she was always kind and thoughtful with her answers. We really liked the leather travel folder and luggage tags. The travel folder was a good location to keep our documents and vouchers.

The booklet on Notes for Travelers to Namibia & The Coast was very helpful and I appreciated having it as a reference. It was good to know about tipping and the infrastructure. And that the tap water was safe to drink!

I found out about your travel organization because of the Namibia travel book written by Chris McIntyre. I'm excited to donate the new book that you sent along with my maps to the library. When I was researching Namibia, our library didn't have any travel books. Now they will!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip

"Thank you so much to Expert Africa and especially Maruska for making this trip possible and specifically tailored for us.

Maruska spent a lot of time tailoring the programme for us and answering ALL our questions (and we had a lot!) always in a very timely manner. Once in Namibia, everything went very smoothly and was easy.

We had an amazing time, in exceptional places and this trip would not have been possible without Maruska's help

Thank you!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We should do more advertisement in countries outside UK. I am a French national and my family was very keen using a French agency but after a few exchanges with Maruska I could tell she was more efficient/responsive than people at other agencies.

Great services, thank you so much!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
