"An excellent holiday and experience."
"Great time"
Overall thought the choice and quality of food was disappointing - in some cases it may have been the lack of guests which prevented a buffet style choice but was often on offer was often restricted and poor quality - naturally game was included on most menus and the only alternative was 'vegetarian' which was mainly the same vegetables which were being used for the main course. Rice seemed to be the main starch available. There was also a lack of detailed information given on how the food was presented eg. broccoli was a main veg but it often came with a blue cheese on it and meat often had a sauce poured on it. Fortunately we made up for this with some excellent meals in Cape Town and the High Tea at the Cape Grace Hotel is highly recommended!
This was our first trip to Namibia which has some spectacular scenery and good game viewing but don't think we will be keen to return except perhaps to Etosha. We like to regard ourselves as fairly seasoned travellers but perhaps our expectations were too high - accommodation was generally good but food disappointing."

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It might be helpful to let guests know that the flights will likely make a stop or two on the way to the camp airstrip.
Also, we totally could have brought a small backpack or duffel with wheels, which would have make travelling elsewhere easier. I'm not convinced you need to prohibit wheeled luggage, as long as it is carry on size or smaller." Read full review: 2 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari
"Everything was perfect"
Many thanks to the Rangers and guides who shared their world with us. The Rangers will make or break the safari experience. Kwondo Rangers are all top notch! The camps and accommodations are all outstanding." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari
"The trip of a lifetime, a perfect honeymoon."
The agents we dealt with have all been very friendly and helpful, we received all the information we needed before our trip and every transfer/flight/pick-up along the way went seamlessly.
We would definitely book with Expert Africa again." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip
"Was Beyond Expectations!"
The itinerary was beautifully constructed, never repeating experiences and building our excitement. There was not a day that we would have changed and many where we wished we had had longer.
The choice of accommodation suited us. The transfers, in fact everything, went smoothly.
It was an incredible holiday from beginning to end." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
"November 2014 trip"
Nick was very helpful as our trip approached." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari
"The Plains of Botswana"
Everything was seamlessly put together by Expert Africa and all our requests taken care of. It is debatable whether the short two night break in Maun is necessary. So much of the journey has been accomplished by the time you make it to Maun you may as well do the last leg and get stuck into the main course.
Many thanks HUGH & CAROLE
