"Our Namibia trip"
I visited Namibia between 4 Jul 2024 and 20 Jul 2024
"The trip was excellent from start to finish. Sabina was very patient when planning the trip with me and arranged excellent accommodation for us. Namibia is a very special place and I feel Expert Africa made it even better by organising everything for us, which all went like clockwork. Thank you"

"My Jul 2024 trip"
I visited Namibia between 1 Jul 2024 and 11 Jul 2024
"The trip of a lifetime and Expert Africa is the way to do it especially planning it last minute like we did!
No problems or hiccups and we have memories for life that can’t be explained in any word other than INCREDIBLE!
This was one of the best trips we ever took!
Only sad it had to eventually come to an end!
Time to plan the next one
Everything was amazing and we would use you guys again!
Thanks for an amazing trip!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"My Jun 2024 trip"
I visited Namibia between 17 Jun 2024 and 3 Jul 2024
"Fantastic trip -- the landscapes, the animals we saw, and our cultural encounters were super rewarding.
The time at Sosussvlei/Deadvlei was truly memorable, the desert landscapes and climbing the dunes [even Dune 45] were exhilarating and such special moments. The waterholes of Etosha continuously amaze as groups of animals arrive and share the same space, evoking a Peaceable Kingdom living mural.
The gravel roads can be challenging -- unfortunately they are the worst in Etosha, something the government could correct. But our vehicle was the right choice and we managed without problems other than discomfort." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Fantastic June 2024 Namibia Self Drive Trip"
I visited Namibia between 4 Jun 2024 and 27 Jun 2024
"The trip was great.
3 nights Sossusvlei area, 2 nights Swakopmund, 2 nights Spitzkoppen, 3 nights Doro Nawas & Twyfelfontein area, 2 nights Okonjima, 4 nights Andersson's at Ongava & Etosha NP, 4 nights at the Mundulea Nature Reserve and one night at Windhoek at the end. Moving from the desert & the coast, the stunning mountain & dune landscapes to more & more wildlife sceneries.
The choice to tour Namibia clockwise self-driving was a good decision in retrospect. Starting at Windhoek and driving off immediately after landing early morning to the Sossusvlei area was a long exhausting drive, but the right choice to save a day, made easier from the start with the kind support of Expert Africa's partner in country Wilderness Safaris (nice relaxing lounge & office in the airport building, support for picking up the car, support for money exchange).
Redoing the trip, we would perhaps plan for 4 full weeks instead of 3 weeks, adding a night in Windhoek at the start of the trip, 3 nights at Okonjima in lieu of 2 nights, and take a flight back & forth from Doro Nawas (leaving the car there) to spend 2 or 3 nights at the Skeleton Coast NP in addition.
A fantastic trip & memories for the whole family." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2024 trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 20 May 2024 and 21 Jun 2024
"We had a wonderful 24-day road trip to Namibia in May / June 2024, followed by 5 days in Cape Town.
We really felt that we were listened too very carefully in the planning process.
I even got to see a pangolin which was top of my wish list.
We would highly recommend Expert Africa. Thank you Maruska!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
In the wildlife list leave a space to add wildlife which is not on the list." Read full review: 32 nights in Africa; 25 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2024 trip"
I visited Namibia between 18 May 2024 and 1 Jun 2024
"We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The variety of scenery was fabulous and the standard of accommodation and food exceeded our expectations.
The itinerary and route worked out perfectly for 14 nights in the country. Everyone we met was very friendly and welcoming.
We weren’t expecting to see wildlife in such great numbers and to see so many baby animals was a great bonus.
Some of the road surfaces were quite challenging on the C and D roads, as were the roads to the waterholes in Etosha, but we did feel secure in our 4x4 and drove fairly cautiously, fortunately avoiding a puncture!
Chris McIntyre’s book was invaluable, particularly about the waterholes in Etosha, as well as the detailed travel documents and map. So much information on the website too, though some things need updating. For example, in Okaukuejo they no longer do a room inventory. Also, park entrance is now N$ 350 per 24hours for 2 persons plus vehicle." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Our May 2024 trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 16 May 2024 and 8 Jun 2024
"We had a very enjoyable trip, focused mainly on seeing parts of Namibia that were new to us.
The diverse landscapes, varied accommodations, intermittent sightings of wildlife, even the experience of two punctures and the help we received….it was all wonderful.
