"The trip of a life-time"
I visited Namibia between 12 Sep 2019 and 1 Oct 2019
"What a great trip. Superbly organised by Expert Africa (thank you Tracy). It was well worth organising a private and exceptionally nice driver (thank you Ronnie) as we were able to cover an enormous distance in great comfort (an 8 seater Land Cruiser with A/C and a fridge just for the 2 of us).
We saw and understood much more by having our own guide than we would have done if we had guided ourselves. We were spared the problems of driving on relatively poor roads and the anxiety of coping with possible punctures and breakdowns.
With hindsight we wonder whether it was worth the very long journey to Fish River Canyon. Yes it was amazing but unless you have arranged to walk the canyon, you see only a limited part of it from the rim.
We also wonder whether an entire day at a diamond mine that wasn't working was worth the bother.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We think that your organisation and service was fantastic. Well done and thank you." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"Amazing Southern African Safari"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 31 Aug 2019 and 2 Oct 2019
"Overall it was a great trip and very well organized. Despite our booking the trip rather late EA managed to provide us a good mix of accommodation and we can honestly say that only one or two places were below average, most were excellent. Had we booked earlier I'm sure we would have been able to secure more first choice accommodation.
If we are fortunate to plan another trip to Africa in the future, we will definitely consider Expert Africa again, as well as recommend them to others." Read full review: 32 nights in Africa; 22 on a Namibia trip

"Fantastic Holiday in Namibia"
I visited Namibia between 30 Aug 2019 and 15 Sep 2019
"I know it is always a leap of faith, in who to book your holiday with. However, don't be hesitant. Expert Africa were fantastic from the first contact to the last.
The whole holiday was planned and executed with the precision that you would expect from a company that has 'Expert' in their title.
I would not hesitate to book with Expert Africa again and I would recommend them as a First Class company." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Great Trip"
I visited Namibia between 20 Aug 2019 and 8 Sep 2019
"More than met our expectations - we had a fantastic time.
The accommodation was mostly outstanding - we could hardly believe some of the rooms were ours!
The itinerary worked really well. We were fortunate to see a huge amount of wildlife and to have the opportunity to enjoy the scale of the landscape. The roads were sometimes interesting! The Renault Duster was lovely to drive.
'Solitaire' was well worth a stop.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No [Ed: suggestions] - but we would like to thank Tom for his involvement in what proved to be a memorable trip.
Including the guidebook and marking the route on the map was particularly helpful.

"EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME"
I visited Namibia between 2 Aug 2019 and 19 Aug 2019
"Thank you so much to Expert Africa and especially Maruska for making this trip possible and specifically tailored for us.
Maruska spent a lot of time tailoring the programme for us and answering ALL our questions (and we had a lot!) always in a very timely manner. Once in Namibia, everything went very smoothly and was easy.
We had an amazing time, in exceptional places and this trip would not have been possible without Maruska's help
Thank you!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We should do more advertisement in countries outside UK. I am a French national and my family was very keen using a French agency but after a few exchanges with Maruska I could tell she was more efficient/responsive than people at other agencies.
Great services, thank you so much!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
