Namibia: reviews from our travellers

"We had a fantastic time and felt very well looked after from booking through to follow up on our return.

This is our second Namibian trip booked with Sabina and we were not disappointed. The advice provided on both occasions was not only helpful but also very accurate.

We will certainly book with Expert Africa again.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Could include prices with brochure to give a rough idea, it is more difficult now they are separate to have any idea whether the trips may be affordable without any information." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"We cannot stop recommending it to our friends. We so applaud the choice of destinations suggested to us.

"Thank you so much to the Expert Africa team, especially Liz for helping plan what was an amazing honeymoon adventure.

We were greeted at the airport by the Wilderness Safari rep, which really put us at ease at the start of our trip. The rep gave us helpful advice and handheld us through the car rental pick up.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The driving route maps that you provided were incredibly helpful - perhaps one improvement would be providing written instructions in addition to describe the lodge turn-offs (as they are not sign-posted in advance!).

The internet questionnaire mentions a brochure, but i'm not sure what this refers to so I didn't comment." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"An excellent trip. We loved Namibia and the people. The scenery is second to none. Of course, a few more days would have been even better, but the amount of driving was easily copable in the time available.
Many thanks to Tracey for supporting an excellent itinerary in a reduced time span at relatively short notice.

We were surprised but pleased to be met at Windhoek Airport by Costa from Wilderness safaris, who helped us through the vehicle pick up process. And the choice of vehicle was excellent (Toyota 4x4)

The marked route map was very valuable and we were also very pleased to have the Bradt Guide.

One small route point - the C12 from Fish River to the Keetmanshoop - Aus Road has now been rerouted to meet the main road 12 km from Seeheim - the old D545 - presumably to accommodate the traffic for the vast agricultural project. So Seeheim is now even more off the map but we had a good lunch stop there (or, rather ,coffee and apple cake!) and were well welcomed.

And a very minor point - most places don't provide hair dryers. It didn't matter to me but might affect others." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Generally all the hotels and lodges suggested by EA and we stayed at were very, very good on the whole. It was a good itinerary but some of the drives between stops took longer than we thought they would.

Great views great scenery. Beautiful game-but its not like the Mara or some where like that-because its very different climate." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia 5th-25th February 2016.

Amazing holiday, we will be back.

Holiday exceeded our expectations in almost every aspect. Stunning varied country. Charming people. Self driving much easier than expected regardless of the 3000km covered. Felt safe and secure at all times, Friendly well stocked garages. The exchange with GDP made this an extremely reasonable holiday.

Highlights.Nice Restaurant, Windhoek. Wolwedans Lodge. Anchors Restaurant, Walvis Bay. Doro Nawas. 3hr old baby elephant.
Lion kill, Hobatere. For comfort we recommend, Ongava, Musharraf & Okonjima Lodges. Grootberg was a disappointment and Oyster Box let down by it's staff." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"We absolutely loved our trip, and we would go back to Namibia again.

We are also very impressed with Wilderness Safari, and will want to stay at their lodges on future trips to Africa." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Great tour,not sure about all the driving we had to do especially on none Tarmac roads (60%) but we didn't encounter any problem other than a small puncture which was easily resolved in the fuel station/cafe in Solitare.

Recomend our tour orginiser as arrangements were spot on and hassle free." Read full review: 38 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"This was a hugely pleasurable trip - self drive proved fine ( we enjoyed being able to go where we wanted and when - and we didn't break down!) - and the desert scenery was magnificent. The lodges were all very good and all had charming and helpful staff.

Our only suggestion is that our itinerary could have been improved so that we could have fitted in a trip to Swakomund in the same 10 day period." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip
