Reviews of safaris to NamibRand Nature Reserve

"I was very pleased that the experience I wanted to share with my friends ,was exactly what I wanted. Only first night and the Tok tokkie were a disappointment.

We all really enjoyed the trip. It is a wonderful, safe, country and the people delightful. This is what we most enjoyed, the contact with such lovely friendly people and being driven across amazing landscapes and then staying in beautiful , unusual camps.

Also, the pace was right. Lots of exciting viewing but lots of down time too." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"A fantastic trip which we both thoroughly enjoyed - it completely exceeded our expectations.

Very well organised and great lodges. Highlights were Wolwedans, Safarihoek and the Scenic Air flights - but everything else was very very good. We were pleased with our route - we met some people who had done Etosha first (so seen all the animals) and where as we were so excited to see the desert elephants they were rather blasé having seen so much wildlife already.

We found the countryside amazing, in particular the desert, and in most case the guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and good to be with. It was good that most of the our "drives" were just us and a guide and not a jeep full of people.

The service everywhere was excellent - and staff were lovely and very very welcoming.

Thanks to Sabina for organising a great trip to a fantastic country - we are already saying that we need to go back…..

I would happily recommend Expert Africa to friends" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"We much enjoyed the trip and would recommend a self drive holiday in Namibia

One small point: we did not realise Wilderness Safaris at Windhoek Airport would have helped us with check in and security on our way home. If we had, we would have avoided horrendous queues" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Considering this trip we saw a lot but I would do some things differently. I would have flown to Desert Rhino and maybe added one of the Skeleton Coast Camps like Hoanib or Serra Cafema which would also require a fly in. Or maybe I would have omitted Desert Rhino and just done another night at Ongava where we saw lots of Rhinos.

We would have missed the heritage petroglyphs but have already seen San rock art in Zimbabwe so maybe I think this would have been the superior choice. Then we could have driven to Etosha from either Swakopmund or Windhoek (Better option) and saved money on renting a less robust car.

Also Doro Nawas was totally not worth the money or effort.

Favorites were Soussesvlei Desert Lodge, Sandwich Bay Tour, and Ongava Lodge." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"We had a 30 day trip encompassing Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Capetown A bit of an epic adventure with lots of fantastic memories.

All the organisation worked like clockwork and I was very pleased at the helpfulness that Justin demonstrated in trying to pull this trip together to suit our needs. With such a lengthy itinerary and so many stops on the route, it could have been no easy task to get all the pieces to fit together. The first law of sales is that people buy from people (no matter what Trump says).

Justin made it easy to do business with Expert Africa and though the trip was way over budget, we still went ahead as I has trust that he had pulled an appropriate trip together for us. We weren't disappointed." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia is a country of striking beauty. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure and we only wish that could have stayed longer.

The trip ran very smoothly and we thank Expert Africa, and particularly Tom Morris for his guidance.

A holiday full of memories that will last a lifetime." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"This trip was the most exciting, inspiring, rewarding trip of my life. Namibia is vast and spectacular, desolate and beautiful - and the people are warm and friendly. I'd been dreaming of visiting the Namib desert for some years, and the experience was more stimulating than I imagined - it is a captivatingly beautiful, otherworldly place, and my mind keeps wandering back to those huge, fluid honey-coloured sand dunes... The driving was tough at times, but the thrill of adventure and discovery was worth it. Overall, we found the lodges and camps to be very well-organised, with good food and great service.

I'd go back in a heartbeat (as soon as the bank balance allows).

Expert Africa exceeded my expectations of a travel agent - Tracy and Elizabeth helped create a bespoke trip for us that met our wishlist and our budget. Prior to our departure, Josh happily gave time to us, talking through our self-drive route in detail and advising on how to manage the long drives to help us plan and to allay our nerves (we'd never done anything like this before!).

They also went above and beyond to help resolve a last-minute glitch with the car hire company, which truly saved our trip!

Thank you!

The only thing I can think of is clarity about the drivers of cost during the quotation process - I ended up going back and forth a bit early onto understand what was driving costs up - but overall, you guys were consistently professional, helpful and truly expert."
