My Sep 2014 trip

Rwanda and 2 other countries between 24 Sep 2014 and 9 Oct 2014

"Overall experience was excellent with the exception of the Zanzibar Coffee House and the Fishermen tour organization.

The tour mostlly functioned as a taxi-they were on time and pleasant but not helpful."

Classic Namibia Experience (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Classic Namibia tour"

11 nights Arrived 2 May 2011
"This tour exposed us to the Namibian country and culture. Our guide, Laurense was excellent, knowledgeable and patient with all our questions, and a good driver under difficult conditions and through long days.
The tented camps were nice, especailly the Mowani Mountain Camp.

Swakopmund was a nice break. We particulalry enjoyed the dolphin cruise with Levo, captained by Joe, accompanied by Ali.
It would have been desirable to be closer to the dunes then we were, since our camp required a very early start. Also, we would recommend the tour stay at a hotel the last day since some of us drove several hours the last day and then took long intenational flights."
