"A Wonderful Introduction to Africa"

I visited Namibia between 20 Jul 2017 and 3 Aug 2017
"We had the trip of a lifetime, thank you! Everything went to plan. We loved the Safari and we'd happily travel with Wilddog Safaris again. The trip worked well and overall our accommodation was absolutely excellent (including the Windhoek Guesthouse and Swakopmund Hotel Wilddog Safari used). The trip exceeded our expectations.

Wilddog Safari's staff (Raymond & Reuben) were excellent. They were knowledgeable, interesting and hard working. We felt that they really took care of us and did everything they could to give us a great week. The mix of safari and self drive gave us a really balanced holiday."

"My Jul 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia between 13 Jul 2017 and 25 Jul 2017
"A wonderful experience with wonderful memories.

Breathtaking from beginning to end, especially in terms of nature and wildlife but also very nice places to stay (mostly). The only 'down' side I can think of is the cost, as this was indeed by far the most expensive holiday we've ever booked... but no regrets! Next time I would however do the trip in the opposite direction (as was the plan originally -I know-, but couldn't be achieved because of booking restraints) and leave the highlights (etosha and okonjima) 'til the end.

Thanks for the good planning and organization and the help throughout!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"My Jul 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 9 Jul 2017 and 2 Aug 2017
"Namibia. 14 days was the absolute minimum time for the trip- would have really liked a couple of extra days to reduce a bit of driving. (Our choice I know). We found all the places in Namibia delightful/interesting to stay in- all different but great fun with their own charms. THe roads overall are not bad- many are sealed with long, straight stretches. Many of the unsealed ones were fine too but there were three really bad ones-luckily not too long.Certainly wouldn't put us off returning for another visit.

The meet and greet Wilderness Safari team at Windhoek airport were very helpful, efficient and patient, and we appreciated their little lounge to use while waiting.

We did have a truly great memorable trip with too many highlights to single any out. Felt totally safe. The people are charming and the ethos about tourism is impressive.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Cant comment on the brochure as dont think I ever saw one. Found the feedback form a bit tedious to fill in so hope it is helpful.

But we did have a really great trip and have been recommending Expert Africa to anyone interested in travel to Africa from New Zealand" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Grown up family holiday Namibia - june 2017"

I visited Namibia between 25 Jun 2017 and 11 Jul 2017
"This was everything we could have hoped for and more.

Namibia is a very special place - vast, deserted, so varied in landscape, full of beautiful options.

At the end of our 17 days, our family of 5 adults each ran through their own highlight. We had 5 different versions such was the richness of this holiday.

Best one ever / Tanzania had topped the list before but Namibia offers so much more!

Very satisfied with expert Africa and have already recommended." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"My Namibia trip June 17"

I visited Namibia between 24 Jun 2017 and 8 Jul 2017
"Amazing! Whilst we have travelled around the world, this was meant to be the trip of a lifetime and it was. It is a holiday we will long remember. We have always wanted to go on safari and see elephants, lions and other wildlife in their natural habitat, but it was also special in terms of the fantastic scenery, friendly people and some of the amazing places we stayed. A great way to mark a special birthday! Thank you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"June 2017 Namibia self-drive"

I visited Namibia between 19 Jun 2017 and 1 Jul 2017
"The trip overall was fabulous. Where we've written negative reviews of accommodation (e.g. Twyfelfontein) we were warned in advance that this was more basic accommodation. Only one we weren't aware of was the building work and poor food at Okaukuejo. Josh did a great job of creating our trip for us at short notice. The welcome team in Namibia airport were lovely and the trip went very smoothly." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip
