Reviews of safaris to Okonjima Nature Reserve

"Namibia lived up to our expectations.

Very impressed with Wilderness Safaris. They appear to provide excellent training and career development for their staff." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 18 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 loved the trip as a whole and most lodges we stayed at were great - Ongava and Okonjima especially. Everything fitted together well.

The short welcome at Quivertree was a surprise as everyone elsewhere was so welcoming and friendly, but as it was just 1 night it didn't matter.

By the time lunch, drinks and game drives are added to the HB cost I suspect it's not much cheaper than Ongava which had a lot more to offer." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"We loved this trip. It was our second time in Africa having been to Zambia previously. This had been a really memorable trip and we were worried that coming back to Africa may not be so good second time around

We were not disappointed all the arrangements went well. The camps and lodges were well chosen and exceeded our expectations

Combined with the fact that Namibia is just such a safe clean welcoming country this was a holiday of a lifetime

"A fantastic trip!

It took a while to organise everything but Tom was ever helpful in suggesting alternatives and doing his utmost to include everything we asked for.

Would we do it again - you bet!" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"The trip was everything and more we had hoped for, having spent many hours viewing the itinerary and guide books prior to our departure.

Many wonderful experiences, the highlights being the friendliness of the local people and the wildlife of Etosha, magical." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"This was our first trip to Namibia after much planning and we were definitely not disappointed. It is a vast country with beautiful, ever changing scenery and friendly people. The wildlife is spectacular and all our accommodation was wonderful. Although bumpy, the wide roads were virtually empty and we really enjoyed our drives and wouldn't have wanted to miss that aspect of the trip .In addition to the journeys the one night stops added to our experience of the unique variety of Namibia and brought us into contact with more Namibians. They certainly offered more than just a stop over. We had an amazing time and would love to return one day.

Can I just give special thanks to Chris for helping us out when our flight was delayed for 24 hours. He reorganised our itinerary very quickly and his advice was invaluable." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"We are very pleased that we did and saw all that we did and truly appreciate the efforts put into its organisation by Josh Flatman and the Expert Africa team.

In retrospect we wish that we had decided either to do less or to take longer because we found the amount of travelling done on gravel roads very tiring. We were generally very pleased with the accommodation organised, all of a very high standard. One thing which would have been helpful would have been precise addresses for the guest houses in the towns. This was given for the first one but I hadn’t checked the others and we did waste some time trying to find the location – but no doubt we could have looked it up on the internet in advance! The only real problem we encountered concerned the pick up of the car on our last afternnon / evening in Windhoek as detailed in our comments. Not the fault of Wilderness Safaris but something to feed back to the hire firm we feel.

We would certainly use Expert Africa again and would recommend your services to friends. Thank you." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip
