"Expert Africa made this a trip to remember!"
I visited Namibia between 26 May 2014 and 24 Jun 2014
"From our first meeting with Sabina we were confident that this very special trip was going to be one to remember. She quickly realised what we wanted from the trip and developed an itinerary which met or surpassed our expectations.
Since our return, Sabina has been quick to help resolve a couple of minor issues.
We are delighted with the quality of service provided by Expert Africa and their staff and are more than happy to recommend them to anyone making their first visit to Namibia.
We found the Bradt guides to be very informative and accurate - there was not much we wanted to know that was not contained within their pages. By the way, contrary to advice given, $200 notes were accepted everywhere!

"My May 2014 trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 22 May 2014 and 7 Jun 2014
"The trip was fabulous.
We were too tired in Cape Town to fully appreciate and enjoy it. Then having to get to a 6am flight to Windhoek, really kept us from getting fully adjusted. I did not appreciate the distances we had to cover in Namibia and the slow going (with no place for rest stops) on the gravel roads. We loved everything we saw in Namibia, and I have no regrets. I just wish we had more opportunity for catching our breath or down time!
Botswana is special - everything is easy. Wilderness Safaris do an amazing job, down to helping us check our luggage as we were departing from Maun. All their staff are charming and helpful. I am ready to go again - next time, other Wilderness lodges!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2014 trip"
I visited Namibia between 19 May 2014 and 25 May 2014
"We loved every minute!
People are very friendly in Namibia, it's pretty affordable, and easy to get around. Some of the gravel roads are challenging, but not dangerous. We covered a lot of distance in little time, so in retrospect maybe having more down time would be nice.
But overall it was fantastic, well organized by Expert Africa. We appreciate the help putting this itinerary together! Many thanks!

"Our May 2014 trip"
I visited Namibia between 18 May 2014 and 3 Jun 2014
"Excellent trip loved it.
Distances longer than expected - along very poor roads in many instances. Would have been useful to know which were gravel or tarmac. Some roads very bad for our VW Polo car. Thus very long journeys- yes I know it's Africa! Not sure whether a larger car would have helped but fellow travellers thought so
Nice and friendly Namibians. Very clean and comfortable accommodations everywhere.
Petrol very cheap!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Our trip to Namibia/Botswana/ Vic falls Zimb"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 13 May 2014 and 2 Jun 2014
"From the very beginning over a year ago when I contacted expert Africa everything has been fantastic.
Initially Saskia and then Maruska in the New Zealand office went out of their way to help me plan and co- ordinate the trip. Hundreds of emails later we had our trip, and what a fantastic trip it was, would not have changed anything. Everything was totally stress free and exceeded our expectations.
Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to go to that part of Africa, and highly recommend expert Africa to arrange for you

"Sensual Africa"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 27 Apr 2014 and 14 May 2014
"Wonderful trip characterised by unique sights, smells and sounds in a series of fabulous environments. Many stand-out moments including the red dunes, the flight to Damaraland via Swarkopmund (sp?), the swamps of Okavango and the great people every where (notably at all of the camps). We loved the sense of optimism evident in Namibia and the ambition for the country to change from being an underdeveloped country today to becoming a developed nation by 2030!
