"Namibia Adventure- Holiday of a Lifetime."
We would return very happily.
Fitting Victoria Falls in was good, but perhaps an expensive luxury." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

However the landscapes and the wildlife were stunning, the lodges generally very comfortable and it was certainly a truly memorable holiday." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip
"Fantastic trip"
I have already recommended Expert Africa to friends.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not really. Everything was amazing! Only place I would skip is Halali and spend more time at Ungomo, which I think Maruska tried for but wasn't able to get for us.
I would have preferred to be told exactly what to tip and to prepare envelopes in advance. the tipping protocols were somewhat overwhelming.
Here's an example: the literature told us to tip at b and b places at the end of the trip, using the tip box. But when someone carried our bags, it was clear that they expected a tip. this left us awkwardly fumbling for change and trying to figure out local currency on the spot.
Don't know how to fix this." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"My Jul 2016 trip"
The accommodation was generally of a very high standard and everything ran smoothly.
I had expected that driving such long distances would be tiring but in a 4WD and with little other traffic this did not prove to be the case." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip
"Fantastic Holiday - highly recommended"
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Just one - on your guide book it states the closest fuel station to refuel the hire car is Windhoek. Well the good news is a new one has opened right near the airport and its 24 hour service." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2016 trip"
Tourism in Namibia will boom." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip
"Days to Remember in Namibia"
The trip was very well planned and organised, and offered a really in-depth insight into Namibia and its wildlife and stunning scenery.
We covered a lot of ground in our in Namibia, and whilst distance itself is not a problem, the state of the roads can make road travel very demanding. If we are able to return again I would seriously consider flying in and out to the lodges.
Our thanks go to Elizabeth for producing a very detailed travel plan and itinerary" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 22 on a Namibia trip
"Another wonderful holiday"
If you've noticed a 2 week gap in our accommodations it's because we spent that time after Upington in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park which we booked ourselves.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Spell check on the feedback form does not work.
When proof reading reviews I discovered that if I made changes then clicked ""Back to previous page"" to proof another review, the changes were not saved. Could this be fixed?
Everything else is great! We love getting the brochure and the information on the website is very good." Read full review: 43 nights in Africa; 27 on a Namibia trip
