"My Jul 2016 trip"
The accommodation was generally of a very high standard and everything ran smoothly.
I had expected that driving such long distances would be tiring but in a 4WD and with little other traffic this did not prove to be the case." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip
"Excellent itinerary by Maruska"
Maruska did an excellent job of putting together the perfect itinerary for our family. I had started with only two places in mind: Victoria Falls and Etosha National Park. I would say Chobe River experience was a highlight and I didn't even know about it until Maruska brought it up. Thank you for everything.
My friends have already started to ask me about our experience and I'm definitely going to recommend that they use Expert Africa in planning their trips to this wonderful continent." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
"My Jul 2016 trip"
We were very impressed with Wilderness Safaris. As I mentioned they came with us to the car hire place and out to the vehicle and helped us sort both the paperwork and the vehicle checks.
At the end they then took us through the express check in desk thus avoiding a lengthy queue. Excellent service.
All in all a very good trip, even if a little tiring and stressful at times with the driving (but we didn't get a puncture). Frankly I am amazed that you even recommend a standard two wheel drive car over those roads. We saw virtually no other cars like that.
Its an interesting point but you don't actually need the 4WD facility but you do need the ground clearance and chunky wheels/tyres.
Finally thank you for organising the trip, everything worked fine." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

No, because the way your company is acting is something I never have witnessed before." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
"Wonderful Trip"
Sabina dealt with the final days prior to our trip, but it was Martha who made all the arrangements so we cannot really comment about Sabina." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

Friendliness of the people, and the high levels of service.

A lot of companies are perfect when everything is running smoothly and one only finds out their failings when things go wrong.
Expert Africa and your team were compassionate and caring when because of my husbands death I wasn't sure if I would be able to or wanted to take the trip. When we had problems in Windhoek constructive help was offered quickly from Chris and enabled us to rationalize the event and not allow it to either colour our view of the country or it's people.
On that note it is hard for me to see how you could improve." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip
"Our trip 25/05/16 to 14/06/16"

"A well organised, fantastic experience."
The packed breakfast from Roys Restcamp and indifferent management at Ngepi were the only incidents (and not controllable by EA) which were not perfect in a safari which gave us a range of excellent accommodation, a kaleidoscope of stunning locations and landscapes and an unforgettable selection of activities. Transfers and flights were seamless and on time, all bookings were recognised and honoured. Everything worked better than expected!
We have been extremely impressed with the efficiency of the EA service, the response to queries and information provided and overall knowledge available to us in dealing with Maruska who did a superb job in putting together the package for such a disparate group.
