"A Well Organised Trip"
I visited Namibia between 3 Sep 2010 and 23 Sep 2010
"We were very satisfied with the itinerary agreed with you and really couldn't have asked for more.
The accommodation was excellent and staff everywhere were friendly and helpful.
A few tips for others. Don't believe time estimates for journeys given by locals. Add about 25% to get an accurate driving time. Unless you're sticking to tarred roads, it's well worth getting at least a high clearance 2WD vehicle, such as the Nissan X-Trails. There are a lot of large and sharp stones on many of the gravel roads. These are particularly bad around Palmwag and on the approach (from the south) to Wolwedans."

I visited Namibia between 14 Aug 2010 and 1 Sep 2010
"The trip was a holiday of a lifetime and the special service you organised for us made us feel very very welcome.
The places we stayed will be etched in our memories for ever, and we couldn't believe how lovely the scenery was, and how friendly and professional all the staff were. As for the food, it was fantastic and putting on weight says it all !!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Keep up the great work and enthusiasm. It was a joy to sit back, take 'expert' advice and leave you everything to the professionals.
Thanks again." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"A wonderful holiday"
I visited Namibia between 20 Jul 2010 and 11 Aug 2010
"Namibia lived up everything that Expert Africa promised. Getting around was much easier than expected and the quality of the accommodation, food and service were all excellent.
The 2WD car proved perfectly OK, although it did mean taking it slowly on some sections of corrugated roads around Solitaire and Palmwag.
We were so glad we booked up three nights stays at various places. In our opinion this makes a huge difference to making the most of what's on offer in the different regions. We could easily have stayed another three weeks." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 20 on a Namibia trip

"A really great holiday"
I visited Namibia between 14 May 2010 and 5 Jun 2010
"A wonderful holiday that reached all expectations. Our criticisms are picking on the points that were average amongst all the other good or excellent features of the holiday.
The Tok Tokkie Trail, the sand dunes and the game in Etosha were the highlights.

"Fabulous trip to Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 8 May 2010 and 23 May 2010
"Fabulous, fantastic and fascinating!
Namibia is a wonderful country with very friendly and genuinely hospitable people. We saw everything we wanted to see (the desert, leopards and rhinos) and more - the landscapes are stunningly beautiful and varied.
It was our first visit to Namibia but definitely not the last one!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
This was our second trip with EA and hopefully not the last :)
We cannot think of any improvements, really - just keep the great job you're doing :)
Thank you very much!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
