Namibia: reviews from our travellers

"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

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

O just keep on doing what you are doing so well" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"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

"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

"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

"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

"We had a fantastic trip. We had a fairly good idea of what we wanted to do from the outset, having travelled reasonably widely in the region before.

Expert Africa listened well, came up with a good itinerary first up and put us in the type of camps that we really like. You can't ask for more than that." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"My expectations for Africa have been great and there are great impressions" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"All aspects of the trip went very smoothly. The vouchers provided for the Namibia leg worked very well and a highlighted route map enabled us to find our accommodation with ease.

All our transfers in Zimbabwe also worked like clockwork.

The information provided by Expert Africa meant that we were well prepared for our trip and had no nasty surprises.

It was a holiday of a lifetime and the memories will be remembered for many years." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Excellent trip, great lodges, scenery, no crowds.

An amazing experience," Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 19 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
