"My Dec 2024 trip to Namibia"

I visited Namibia between 7 Dec 2024 and 19 Dec 2024
"We had an amazing trip - our first visit to Namibia and first time using Expert Africa.

It was difficult to know what to do/where to go but Tracy was really helpful from the start. She was extremely knowledgable about the places we wanted to visit and gave us some great information before we then went off and did some research. We then came back to Tracy to ask more questions and look at an itinerary and accommodation in more detail.

We knew were going for 'scenery' rather than wildlife and having done our research our trip met or exceeded our expectations on every level. It was also good to know that Expert Africa was there should we have experienced any problems.

I can't speak highly enough of Expert Africa and particular thanks to Tracy for all her help.

Comments on our Private Guide

We quickly built a good rapport with Usko. We were a little concerned about spending so much time with our guide as there was only my husband and I but needn't have worried. Usko was delightful and was happy to listen to how we wanted the trip to go in terms of leaving time from each lodge, how many stops we wanted to make en route etc.

He told us we didn't need to 'make conversation' but could just enjoy the views from the vehicle and ask questions if we wanted to know anything. He was very knowledgable and always pointed out places of interest/wildlife/flora and fauna, landscapes etc. It made the days easy and relaxing (for us!).

He also told us that some evenings he wouldn't join us for dinner so that we could have time together. Usko made the trip really stress free, our cases were loaded/unloaded and delivered and collected from our rooms. He was an excellent driver especially on the bumpy gravel roads and soft sand at Sossusvlei!

The picnics we enjoyed en route some days were amazing! A proper table, camping chairs, tablecloth and delicious food in 'the middle of nowhere'. Usko really made the trip for us, we felt in incredibly safe hands knowing that if there were any problems that he was fully equipped to deal with them."

"My Dec 2024 trip"

I visited Rwanda and 1 other country between 7 Dec 2024 and 16 Dec 2024
"Rwanda is a gem of a country.

Clean, well organised, incredibly friendly and full of hope for the future.

The gorilla trekking was the highlight but Akagera also stunning.

We have travelled extensively in Africa and Rwanda is one of best countries we have visited." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Rwanda safari

Very happy with a memorable trip!" Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Nov 2024 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 29 Nov 2024 and 7 Dec 2024
"We have been very lucky to have done many safaris. This was one of our favourite ones.

There was a lovely contrast between the two camps and game parks. We were also very fortunate to have the same guide, Godwin, with us at Kuro who had been with us 11 years ago taking our family on a week long trip. We loved being with him again.

We saw a huge amount of game and birds in both Parks, but I am not sure if we would go in November again as we were unlucky with the short rains and had rain most days, some of which was torrential!

However, the upside was that there were very few other people around in either Park and we felt, while in Lamai, that we had the Serengeti to ourselves as didn’t see another game truck on one day. We would definitely choose to pick Nomad camps again as they are extremely well run and with great guiding.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

None, you provide very good trips and service." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Sensational south Africa"

I visited South Africa between 21 Nov 2024 and 6 Dec 2024
"Our first trip to South Africa, and it was a wonderful experience, the whole itinerary worked perfectly.

We made other sightseeing plans independently in Capetown, with no difficulty.

We took far too many clothes!!! Travel lighter next time !" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip

"My Nov 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia between 15 Nov 2024 and 28 Nov 2024
"A very well organised trip (as always). Accommodation and travel times well thought out, unlike one British couple from another well known travel company (high end) who asked to be moved from where they were staying as they said that Lodge had been misrepresented!

I don't know what Tom said to Europcar but their treatment of us was exceptional.

We also appreciated Grace meeting us at the airport and seeing us through.

Expert Africa was super helpful in organising and it was great to not have to worry about any of the details.

Already thinking about the next potential visit!" Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Kenya safari
