"Fulfilled all our expectaions"

I visited Namibia between 19 May 2008 and 31 May 2008
"There is no comments section for internal flights between camps. [Ed: this refers to the 'feedback form' which these trvellers filled out about their trip] These were fine and we had no problems. Our pilot for one of our flights, Eric (or Erich) was particularly helpful.

Really enjoyed the whole trip. The suggestions by Expert Africa were all good, as was the time spent at each location.

We would not do it differently if we planned it now!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"Please can we go again"

I visited Namibia between 9 May 2008 and 25 May 2008
"We didn't want to come home, we want to go back, we already have ideas and have started saving - what more can we say.

Things we'd do differently - put in a three night stay somewhere. We were really please only to be staying one night in Swakopmund, it was definitely out of season.

Something to consider is to take Air Nambia flight home to Europe (Frankfurt) and do hop to UK from there rather than Windhoek/Jo'burg/Home. Gives a longer last day and the Air Namibia flight was nicer.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We found the service very personal - it took sometime to sort but was well worth it in the end - this is one of your strengths as a company because you do care where your customers go, don't lose sight of this." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Holiday of a lifetime"

I visited Namibia between 3 May 2008 and 22 May 2008
"We had a wonderful time in Namibia. The country is amazing and so are the inhabitants.

We found it very safe and stayed in amazing places there. We will definitely go back when we get the chance.

We particularly appreciated the info pack given and Chris' guide book which we ended up using most of the time." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"The Great Trek"

I visited Namibia between 25 Apr 2008 and 9 May 2008
"This was a long trip (4,000 Km), but it is a big country which deserves to be seen. If you want to see all of Namibia, take several trips, but make sure you see the best bits.

The intinerary we had was not ideal, but we left it late and Expert Africa had done agreat job of getting us what we wanted as best they could. Tracy you were a star well done." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

I visited Namibia between 28 Mar 2008 and 16 Apr 2008
"i got all work done and loved almost every minute.sceleton coast camp has problems/ wolwedan`s lodges need update but all that is a detail compared with the pleasures and beauty one gets from this journey

Namibia private guided safari section of trip - great guide [paulo] wonderful cook [rodney] they could not have been better.
they made my stay as comfortable as possible under the difficult rainy circumstances but the rains storms very unforgettable and for me a great visual experience. lots of painting under a special little tent that served as an outside studio.

paulo and Rodney were the best and of great help
paulo is very recommendable and he is now training for a national guide position.he deserves lots of attention. very knowledgeable and soft spoken, full of patience and attention to detail. he made my first 6 days extremely productive and creative

the dune world deserve more than a few days and all drives were spectacular at different times of day dawn and dusk" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
