Reviews of safaris to Skeleton Coast & Kaokoland
211 holiday reviews from our travellers of holidays which include Skeleton Coast.
"My Jul 2014 trip"
You mentioned that previous customers had reported back that they would have preferred a 4-wheel drive car. We found our 2-wheel drive car fine. In fact the major irritation of the holiday was 4-wheel drive cars speeding past us, particularly in Etosha, causing dust clouds." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
"Namibia - Sossusvlei to Angola -J uly 2014"
If you are a keen photographer there are some stunning opportunities.
If you are keen on game and predators there are better countries to visit but I would recommend the broader view; literally, and I am sure we will end up back there.
Best camps: Little Kulala and Serra Cafema
Standout moments; scenery especially Sossusvlei and Skelton coast, Himba people, rhino, quad bikes" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"My Jul 2014 trip"
"Another trip of a lifetime!!"
Everywhere we went it was noticeable that the lodge owners had only good things to say about Expert Africa and your handling agents in Southern Africa, (Wilderness Safari's?)

"Our Namibian adventure - April 2014"
So, the few problems we encountered during our 14 day stay in Namibia pale into insignificance compared to the spectacular scenery, outstanding guiding and helpful staff. Our holiday will be memorable for many years to come for all the postive things we saw, did and learned.
Tracy at Expert Africa listened to our brief and was patient in arranging and rearranging our itinerary to make our trip feasible." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
"My Mar 2014 trip"
"My Feb 2014 trip"
I met some very interesting people and also thoroughly enjoyed the road trip on my own. The car went very well and I had no trouble finding my way around. Thank you for providing the map with all my stop-overs marked on it; that was very helpful.
The next trip I plan in Africa, you will be the first people I call. Thanks again!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip
