My Aug 2014 trip
Namibia between 10 Aug 2014 and 23 Aug 2014
"This was a wonderful trip and experience. From start to finish everything was very easy.
All the information and maps were excellent. We were very impressed with the accomodation selected, all the journey times were well planned and manageable and the whole holiday was well structured. We had great help and service by Sabina and everything worked flawlessly.
We have been very impressed with Expert Africa and Sabina and would recommend them to anyone visiting Namibia. Thank you for arranging such an outstanding and memorable trip."

"Outstanding lodge, beautifully decorated.
Fantastic rooms, very secluded and beautifully appointed rooms. Excellent food, surroundings attention to detail, like unexpectedly finding hot water bottles in the bed after dinner. Good swimming pool. Vegetarians well catered for.
Another camp that shouldn't be missed."

"Typical of state run accommodation. Basic but clean. Food good.
Jewel however is the floodlit water hole which was a fantastic experience, with lots of game coming down to drink. Certainly worth staying here just to experience a water hole at night"

"Another little jewel. Awash with character and attention to detail.
The main lodge had so much of interest, done up as a shabeen it had so much to see. The staff were very happy and attentive. The evening meal had a wonderful atmosphere, and the live singers gave it a very unique experience.
Again another place not to be missed."

"This is such a special experience in a wonderful location with wonderful staff.
Dennis and Bonnie were the most fantastic hosts and we felt privileged to have been able to experience such a unique place with them. Everything was vey well planned, stunning lodge and lovely rooms overlooking Damaraland, all the food was beautifully prepared and vegetarians well catered for. The morning guided walk and evening game drive were very interesting.
This camp was fantastic - what more can one say."

"Accomodation good average. Reasonable location for accessing Sesreim and Sossusvlei. BBQ evening meal was good and held out of doors, next evening was on the veranda so good variation.
Very impressive service with 5:30 wake up call, early breakfast and then an excellent hamper with breakfast, tea and coffee to take into Sesriem to see the sun rise."
