"50th Birthday Treat"

I visited Namibia between 16 Jun 2023 and 2 Jul 2023
"We had so many wonderful experiences in Namibia, the country has stunning scenery, diverse wildlife, outrageous night skies and beautiful, charming people. New to Namibia we were unsure of how to plan our road trip but we were in safe hands with Sabina who understood our needs very well and stretched us on occasion to make choices we would not have made without her - those choices such as Doro Nawas were inspirational and very moving for us.

We felt very grateful to have the privilege of visiting Namibia and we have returned to our normal lives with a new perspective of how life can be lived." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"My Jun 2023 trip"

I visited Namibia between 16 Jun 2023 and 2 Jul 2023
"We are fully happy with our trip (eventhough we were not able to see any brown hyena)
If we were to do it again, we would probably hire the car from day 1 and add some time in the Kalaari and fish river canyon

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

"My May June 2023 trip"

I visited Namibia between 22 May 2023 and 5 Jun 2023
"Claire is great to work with.

This is the second holiday we have booked with Claire, the first one was to Zambia. She was recommended to me by an acquaintance that had traveled to Zambia multiple times.

Claire has great knowledge of the areas and parks to visit and focus on, and insights on the lodges and private reserves. She knows I am budget conscious, so made suggestions on bookings where we could save some money.

Claire is very responsive, and prompt in turning around itinerary changes.

I sincerely appreciate all of her efforts on my behalf." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2023 trip"

I visited Namibia between 21 May 2023 and 13 Jun 2023
"It has been a stunning trip. Perfect weather ( winter time ). Very few visitors at this time of year and most outings we did, organised by the accommodations with private guides to track the animals, were for the two of us! Brilliant!

Being an independent traveller for many decades, I have always planned and organized myself my trips all over the world. I must say I do not regret a second having asked for Expert Africa's help in finding and booking all the different accommodations for so many nights,i.e. 21 nights, because it would have been very difficult in coordinating the schedule of the trip...I do not want to imagine the implementation of the international transfers after the problem I met with the bank of Expert Africa, located in London!

Tom Morris has been from beginning to end a highly knowledgeable and professional advisor. His choice of accommodation was excellent and in congruence with my budget. The standard of accommodation in Namibia ( even in "modest" places like Okaukuejo ) is excellent, beyond expectation. Of course I would not have minded putting up at luxurious lodges every night !!!
Through Expert Africa, we rented a car for our self drive trip. When we met with a problem with Europcar ( picking up a car with a small damage on a door at the airport ), Tom answered me on the spot and got in touch with the general manager of Europcar in Windhoek to make sure we would not be charged for. I did appreciate his rapidness and help .
Expert Africa website is absolutely excellent. And the information leather pack, along with the guidebook, the map we got before the trip is very good.

Now I have to talk about the BIG problem I met with the transfer of money. from my bank to Expert Africa's bank.
My bank followed all the instructions given by Expert Africa SCRUPULOUSLY.
The two payments prior to the trip should have remained in euros for the whole transaction, between my bank and their bank. For an unknown reason, the payments were AUTOMATICALLY converted into UK currency before being converted into euros, no matter how hard they tried!
It was a real hassle, completely stressful, time consuming AND financially infuriating! I was charged an amount of 194€ for fees!

I have recommended Expert Africa very highly to several French travellers. But I wouldn't like them to experience the same predicament. I would not like them to reproach me with that.

As said before, carry on with transmitting your expertise and passion for Africa ." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2023 trip"

I visited Namibia between 20 May 2023 and 4 Jun 2023
"Beautiful country , excellent organization.

Our trip to Namibia will stay in our memory for a very long time. The country is amazing and even if we only saw a part of it , Namibia showed us such different beautiful landscapes . It is difficult to decide which area we liked the most but the activity we enjoyed the most was the driving on the dunes at Sandwich Harbor. It is a combination of the landscape and the guiding that made it extra special.

The trip , organized by Sabina , went on without a hitch. From the amount of driving each day to the different lodges and activities we felt she made perfect choices.

We are now left with the wish to go back to Namibia , to drive to areas we skipped , to go walking in Mundulea Reserve with Bruno and get to know some other local tribes ." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia 2023 trip"

I visited Namibia between 15 May 2023 and 30 May 2023
"Great trip overall even if a bit disappointed with a couple of camps.
Although there was quite a lot of driving and on gravel roads (2500 km approx) that gave a great insight into the geography of the country. We will return and get up to the Caprivi Strip next time. Wonderful people too with a great sense of humour" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"felt like a once in a lifetime holiday"

I visited Namibia between 15 Apr 2023 and 27 Apr 2023
"From first contact with Expert Africa, this had the feeling of being a special trip - and our experience was exactly that.

The suggested itinerary, prepared by Tracy after discussing with her only what we vaguely wanted, was spot on; the standard of the accommodation was beyond our expectation; and the quality of the detailed information pack, guidebook, map etc was the best we've ever had (and we've travelled extensively so have lots of benchmarks).

No question was too silly, even those we had on the day before we left about a particular route we were thinking of taking, and Tracy clearly had detailed, expert knowledge and insight of Namibia which was both reassuring and inspiring.

Our overall experience was way beyond anything we've ever had before and, based on this, we will use Expert Africa every time now. and would recommend them without hesitation to others.

Keep doing what you're doing - it's best in class!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"My Apr 2023 trip"

I visited Namibia between 9 Apr 2023 and 9 May 2023
"This is the 2nd time we have used Expert Africa to organise a holiday in Namibia. As on the first occasion, they suggested the itinerary and arranged car-hire and accommodation.
It all went very smoothly and was generally very enjoyable.
I feel that all required information and documentation was provided, in good time. Chris's book is excellent.
Because nothing went wrong I can't comment on your problem resolution.
It was useful to to have wilderness safaris available at the airport." Read full review: 30 nights in Africa; 30 on a Namibia trip
