Reviews of safaris to NamibRand Nature Reserve

"Thoroughly enjoyable trip, albeit too hot!! Apparently this was unusual for this time of year. We originally planned to go earlier but were persuaded to go later as it was quieter, but it would have been more comfortable.

We saw much more wildlife than we expected." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"A great trip, very varied & we feel that we've seen as much of Namibia as we could have done in the time available.

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

"One plans a trip to a new country with a little trepidation thinking that some part of it may not live up to one's expectations. On this trip with the excellent assistance of Gwyn at Expert Africa everything lived up to and exceeded those expectations. A fabulous trip to a fabulous country.

"Nothing was asked about ground arrangements here, which were perfect with one troublesome exception, given that it was our introduction to the trip. When we landed at Windhoek, no one was there to meet us. I figured out we should find Wilderness Safari's lounge, where someone scrambled to get us to our hotel, sending us in a small, hot, crowded taxi whose driver drove a long distance beyond the center to drop off the other passenger first; when I complained he said it was more convenient for him to return to the airport from Olive Grove.

This meant it took an hour (which mattered to us after a long flight from Munich). Wilderness also didn't notify us of our departure time the next morning; we had to take the initiative to find out. When a van and driver picked us up the next morning we realized that we didn't have the service and transportation upon arrival we had paid for. But, thereafter, all went smoothly.

A tip for those going on to S. Africa. The Parker Guest House in Cape Town is a gem: in a handsome home built by a distinguished architect, it's brilliantly managed with excellent rooms and top rate breakfasts. Likewise, I cannot recommend more highly the Cascade Manor in Paarl (wine land): set in a landscape as beautiful as the best of Tuscany, it is luxuriously comfortable with very good food and modestly priced for its category.

In all, our trip was everything we had hope for. The only regret were our two-night stays; if one has the time and money, I'd strongly recommend at least three nights everywhere. Expert Africa's handling of our trip was really first rate (thanks to Maruska) and we strongly recommend using the company to anyone visiting Namibia.

For someone who's usually critical of lapses in service, I am happy to say I can't suggest how you could have done better!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

Try and persuade the vehicle hire companies to get their act together. They are still the weak point in any visit to Namibia." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Nothing much to say other than: it has been several months since we came back and we still get excited remembering our honeymoon.

Everything was worth it and Expert Africa really helped us out. Their suggestions were spot on and their assistance was invaluable in planning such a trip to a destination completely unknown to us.

Our only regret was not having taken more time to see more of Namibia (we wish to go see the Caprivi region and Damaraland). We'll have to leave that for the next time we visit the country!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
