"What an amazing experience!

We had waited 26 years to take our trip to the Okavango Delta and we were not disapponted.

Adventerous, exciting, restful, fun, educational, beautiful, this trip provided us this and so much more.
Each camp varied in setting, style and safari.

Anton ensured our trip was tailored to our interests and expectations.

The staff at each of the camps were welcoming, professional and personable . Logistic support was outstanding and appreciated. Travel between camps were on time and people were there to greet us at every step." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"All was great.

We didn't realise our transport from Vic Falls to Hwange would be so early so we lost out on some of the offerings at Vic falls Hotel, like a free massage we couldn't book and a morning river cruise we had hoped for. This early flight could have been communicated earlier for optimal day planning. But apart from that minor issue we were very pleased with everything as always!"

"This was our 2nd visit to Namibia as a couple and we tried to cover the areas not visited last year. This included starting in Zimbabwe and driving through the Caprivi Strip which was something my husband has always wanted to do. So it was a very different trip to 2024 when we visited the dunes and Fish River Canyon. Parts of it didn't feel like the Namibia we'd seen before, and we really enjoyed the north of the country which feels more like Botswana & Zimbabwe.

The trip was very well organised and everything worked seamlessly. We booked with very little notice and Tracy pulled it together very quickly for us. We also completely reversed our itinerary at the last minute, probably causing hair to be torn out but Tracy never showed it.

We used the Bradt guide constantly and it was always with us. I will try to email in my very small contributions/changes that we found along the way.

I especially loved the north of Namibia this time. It reminded me of my time in Zimbabwe 35 years ago and I was surprised by how little it had changed. I'm a big fan of the rainy season and love visiting in the green season. We were surprised and delighted by how much game we saw, and of course the birds were incredible. The Delta was magical and Shinde was a very good 2nd choice since Kwara didn't have availability. We loved Shinde and had some great sightings.

The lodges were very comfortable, some were luxurious, more so than I would choose on my own, but perfect for us as a couple. Hugh likes more comfort than me and would like to have known in advance which lodges didn't have air conditioning.

Overall it was another great trip. Thank you Expert Africa" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Our trip was special. Everything exceeded expectations, travel was seamless and very well organized.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Not really. One thing we would have taken had we known was our gators for the walking safaris as `stuff` really gets into your shoes and socks." Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"Once again, Maruska came up trumps (the first time by recommending Flatdogs in Zambia).

This was a totally different, but fascinating experience.

It was a little wet at Amalinda but not enough to spoil it, and they badly need the rain." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Our trip was amazing.

Other than getting soaked through on one game drive at Shinde, it is hard to imagine how it could have gone better.

Everything happened on time and as it should. I can't think of a single person who wasn't helpful or better.

We traveled with our children and each place we stayed was great for them as well as us. We wanted a variety of experiences, but with a certain level of comfort and we were not left wanting. Really, an outstanding experience!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
