Reviews of safaris to Okonjima Nature Reserve

"Our trip was amazing in the sense of what we saw and how we did it, and its varieties.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

It is very difficult to get the information and feel for the country you have never been to, and how things are done in each location. In that sense, the details were not communicated well to our needs.

It is easy to say, "please ask any questions if you have", rather than " please check this," or " did you know this?" to make sure that we understand the same thing. Many things are assumed to be understood. The communication was always initiated by me.

The child age should be considered individually by the height, not by age. Our daughter had never been a problem to any lodge. Given her age is 11.5 and she is tall." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"This was our second trip and another great one. Namibia offers luxurious accommodation, delicious food and staff who love their job and country.

not to mention the breathtaking scenery and the fantastic wildlife.

Tourist numbers are noticeably down - so more people should visit !" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia exceeded our expectations. Wonderful scenery and wildlife.

Wilderness safaris were efficient in notifiying me of the change of itinerary after the fire at Camp Kipwe" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"We loved the trip. Sabina did an excellent job of planning our itinerary and helping us along the way.

Our itinerary involved quite a bit of driving and in end I am glad we drove even though there were several days that I wished we only had to drive 3 hours instead of 4 or 5. But it was a wonderful way to see the country and feel a part of it. I loved the changing landscape. If we had been able to plan a longer trip we would have benefited from staying in places for another day." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"A wonderful trip from start to finish.

I think I can sum it up best by saying the whole family are already planning our next trip to Africa with Expert Africa!

The reason for chosing your company in the first place was the detailed and helpful email response to our initial enquiry. You hit exactly the right note of being informative and reassuring without making us feel like we had no idea what we were talking about! I would go so far as to say that your detailed initial response was the best we have received during our years of holidaying." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip

"It was outstanding.

Very well organized - thank you Sabina for all your hard work, care and suggestions. We will be back in the near future and hope that Sabina will look after us for a third time.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Get another car-hire firm or make it clear that they must deliver what is promised and payed for - we got only one spare wheel though payed for two.

But that is a minor complaint compared to our overall appreciation and enjoyment. Thank you" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia is a beautiful country and we recommend a trip there!

We love the vastness and openess of the place and the scenery can be breathtaking at times Take a trip up any riverbed and in particular the Swakop River and sit back and be prepared to be blown away by mother nature. Even driving along some of its awful roads is great fun (you must have the right vehicle though!) but the tarred roads we found to be in very good conditon with very little traffic. Put on a CD and enjoy the drive!! You never know what you will see along the way!

Namibia is very expensive though, a complaint made by nearly every other tourist we chatted to and even the localsfeel that we tourists are ripped off with very high charges. It is something the Namibian Tourist Board needs to seriously look at. Not everyone who would love to go there is wealthy!

"We had the time of our lives in Namibia. We enjoyed it so much that we are planning to go back for my 60th birthday.

Expert Africa - Thank you!!!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

It would be helpful to have an estimate as to how long it takes to drive between the camps.

Tell people that if they hire the second spare wheel for hire cars that it is not carried externally and luggage space in the boot will be halved so soft bags would be the best luggage and not cases." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"A wonderful trip. Not for the 1st time safari traveler. A contrast to other parts of Africa that we have traveled.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Please remind travelers that when they are traveling within Etosha National Park that they will have to pay th70 Namibian dollar fee each day that they are in the Park...not just once.

Photographs and a trip diary on Dave's own website showcasing his Namibia holiday
Dave has posted some wonderful photographs from their trip to Namibia, along with a trip diary that makes interesting reading; both of which can be found on his own website. Dave comments that Namibia was a “bucket list” destination for them and he would like to encourage any travellers planning to go there to read about the experiences they had."

"We knew it would be a good trip but it was all we hoped for and more. All went very smoothly and the highlight was definately Okonjima.

We would have no hesitation in using Expert Africa again, or in recommending you to others.

We took torches with us but I'm not sure this was emphased in your info. They were very useful and we would have struggled at times without them." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip
