A wonderful holiday.

Namibia and 1 other country between 12 May 2017 and 25 May 2017

Trip rating: Excellent
"Namibia was a marvellous discovery for us. We hope that the development of tourism will help the country continue its successful transition from apartheid-era colony to independent nation. The gulf between the wealthy minority and the struggling majority is wide.

When one is made aware of it (e.g. passing Spitzkoppe Village on the way to Spitzkoppen Lodge; going into Walvis Bay location with the police to look for stolen bag) one knows that there is still a long way to go.

Expert Africa provided us with a well-organised and reliable framework in which to enjoy this wonderful country. All your suggestions were spot-on and we appreciated your help when we needed it."

Zebra River Lodge

Zebra River Lodge

"Memorable walk at Zebra River Lodge"

1 night Arrived 13 May 2017
"The last bit of road is very rough & needs care but not dangerous.

We enjoyed an evening walk to Gail's Cave but the highlight was the Quiver Tree Trail up to the plateau with amazing views.

We were very well looked after. The only disappointment was that the swimming pool had been drained due to a combination of leakages and drought. It may be a while before the pool is replaced."

Lagoon Lodge

Lagoon Lodge

"Birdwatchers' paradise at Lagoon Loge"

3 nights Arrived 18 May 2017
"Great terrace to watch flamingos pelicans seals dolphins and the sunset. Good place for a run along the front as well.

Unfortunately our guard was down (for a couple of minutes only) because it seemed so safe and our car was broken into. The owners were extremely helpful . It seems likely that we were being watched at checkout time and visitors need to be aware of this."

Pioneer Camp

Pioneer Camp

"Relaxing day at Pioneer Camp"

1 night Arrived 24 May 2017
"A warm welcome from Sophie and a very comfortable and relaxing place to spend our last day in Africa. Good birdwatching.

(NB. 14 kms in pitch darkness on the worst road we saw anywhere would be a disconcerting arrival in Africa for someone who had just landed at Lusaka from the UK. Forewarned is forearmed.)"
