"Our trip to Namibia 2017"

I visited Namibia between 16 Sep 2017 and 5 Oct 2017
"This whole trip was a dream from start to end and exceeded expectations (which were pretty high in the first place)

Excellent pre-planning, advice and service from Expert Africa. The web site and literature are very comprehensive and well presented and the reality most certainly didn't disappoint.

Other destinations in Africa have been added to the never diminishing wish list and we would certainly use them again.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

How about a free trip for the best reviews!! Only joking :)" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"Couldn't have been better"

I visited Namibia between 13 Sep 2017 and 29 Sep 2017
"We had a brilliant holiday. Given our brief to Expert Africa & the short time frame we gave them, they interpreted our requirements very well, - it couldn't have been better.

I had bought the Bradt guide to Namibia a few months before the trip & was very impressed with the content hence the main reason I chose Expert Africa. It is the best guide book I have read in recent years & would highly recommend it.
The 'Notes to Travellers' provided with the itinerary was great.

Other travellers reviews were also interesting and helpful.

We will certainly use them again.

"My Sep 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia between 8 Sep 2017 and 28 Sep 2017
"We were very pleased indeed with all the arrangement Sabina made for us for this holiday and have since recommended Expert Africa to two couples. Both have already booked with you for visits to Namibia.

We understand that some of the accommodation that Sabina originally wanted to book was not available. Unfortunately we found one of the substitute hotels, Ugab Terrace Lodge, sub standard and not a nice place to stay. We really did not want to be there, the management of the place was very poor.

However we hope to return to Namibia and will certainly use you next time around.

Many thanks for a great holiday and memorable experience." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 20 on a Namibia trip

"A very interesting trip/some glitches"

I visited Namibia between 7 Sep 2017 and 29 Sep 2017
"Considering this trip we saw a lot but I would do some things differently. I would have flown to Desert Rhino and maybe added one of the Skeleton Coast Camps like Hoanib or Serra Cafema which would also require a fly in. Or maybe I would have omitted Desert Rhino and just done another night at Ongava where we saw lots of Rhinos.

We would have missed the heritage petroglyphs but have already seen San rock art in Zimbabwe so maybe I think this would have been the superior choice. Then we could have driven to Etosha from either Swakopmund or Windhoek (Better option) and saved money on renting a less robust car.

Also Doro Nawas was totally not worth the money or effort.

Favorites were Soussesvlei Desert Lodge, Sandwich Bay Tour, and Ongava Lodge." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia between 7 Sep 2017 and 18 Sep 2017
"When we booked out trip to Namabia there was a limited choice of accommodation, which was obviously unfortunate, as we would have appreciated higher quality of accommodation for the additional cost involved.

Windhoek airport were implementing new computer systems when we arrived and left, which lengthened the queues. Hopefully the "teething" issues are now sorted." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2017 trip"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 6 Sep 2017 and 28 Sep 2017
"We had a 30 day trip encompassing Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Capetown A bit of an epic adventure with lots of fantastic memories.

All the organisation worked like clockwork and I was very pleased at the helpfulness that Justin demonstrated in trying to pull this trip together to suit our needs. With such a lengthy itinerary and so many stops on the route, it could have been no easy task to get all the pieces to fit together. The first law of sales is that people buy from people (no matter what Trump says).

Justin made it easy to do business with Expert Africa and though the trip was way over budget, we still went ahead as I has trust that he had pulled an appropriate trip together for us. We weren't disappointed." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

A holiday full of memories that will last a lifetime." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip
