A very comprehensive feedback website ! Hope my comments were useful." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 22 on a Namibia trip
"My Nov 2012 trip"
We would recommend a larger car than a Toyota Aygo, even though everyone said it could and indeed it did see us through the journey, a 4X4 with higher ground clearance and sand road capability would have been very desirable. With a small car, we were scraping gravel a lot of the time.
Cape Town, Primi Royal Boutique at Camps Bay, highly recommended as an option.
We stayed at some lovely locations and met some wonderful people as chosen by Expert Africa, thank you and well done.

"My Oct 2012 trip"
Advice re itinerary, locations & alternatives (after the fire) were innovative & faultless.
Only suggestion we'd make is to stress the importance of getting the correct electrical adaptors (our "alleged" international one didn't work) in your pre holiday paperwork.. Thank you." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip
