Everything was perfect, thanks Maruska!
Namibia between 1 Aug 2019 and 11 Aug 2019
"My daughter and I went on a girls' road trip round Namibia as a post exam/pre uni adventure for her. We wanted to experience the best Namibia has to offer, but with without worrying.
Our trip was arranged by Maruska who got this completely and could not have taken more care in understanding all aspects of what we wanted and masterminding a detailed itinerary to ensure that's exactly what we got. She never lost patience as she tried to find accommodation for us even though we were booking late and capacity was low..and then we changed out minds! We had one hiccup with a misunderstanding on a booking when we checked out...one call and it was all sorted!
I have recommended Expert Africa to everyone I meet who is planning a trip to Africa, and I wouldn't contemplate using anyone else when we visit again. I only wish we could use EA to book all our holidays.
We had a holiday of a lifetime and so much of that was down to Maruska's knowledge, contacts and above all understanding better than we did what we wanted, and delivering it all.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Our experience centred around Maruska and could not have been better. I feel confident that her fantastic levels of service would be replicated by other country specialists. As I said in an earlier comment, I just wish we could book all our holidays with you. Next time we head to Africa we will come straight to you. Well done!"

"Our accommodation was average which was to be expected.
But you don't come here for the room, or the food, but for the outstanding waterhole which provided us with hours of amazing wildlife viewing. Exceptional waterhole."

Mushara Bush Camp
"Mushara Bush Camp review"
1 night
Arrived
6 Aug 2019
"Mushara Bush Camp is a very attractive camp with just the right blend of sympathetic and comfortable accommodation without overdoing it. Think camping that everyone will enjoy!
It is right outside one of the gates out of Etosha National Park. Which was handy for us as we saw a leopard feeding on an elephant carcass at very close quarters just as the park was closing so we were able to stay and savour every marvellous moment."

"Lovely, friendly, home from home in Swakopmund. Sam is a real character, in just the right way.
He could not have been more helpful in ensuring our stay was comfortable and giving us advice on where to eat, what to see."
