"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia between 24 Sep 2024 and 17 Oct 2024
"We have used Expert Africa for over 15 years now and never had to call on them to sort a problem whilst in Africa but the understanding of our problem with the car hire and speed of their response and action was first class - the right help when we needed it.

They were able to turn round a trip that was becoming problematic in to one that we will remember for many years.

That is why we keep using them !" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 22 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia between 23 Sep 2024 and 4 Oct 2024
"We had an amazing trip.
Maruska understood our priorities and altered a couple of the lodges for us.
She found the perfect driver for us, who could not have looked after us more .
I really appreciated that we could add onto our schedule a trip to CCF . Overall as a company Expert Africa were easy to contact and willing to help. We felt we were valued customers.
And I don’t blame them for the fact I didn’t see a wild cheetah ! ( I am joking )

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not really - you offer enough information before booking to assess what the customer wants . Or start them thinking more about it . And for us you achieved that - especially the driver experience .
Thank you" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia between 22 Sep 2024 and 9 Oct 2024
"We had a fabulous trip to Namibia.

Tracy did a first class job with the accommodation she recommended and was extremely helpful with the fuel situation in Etosha.

I would certainly use Expert Africa again and would not hesitate to recommend them.

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 21 Sep 2024 and 7 Oct 2024
"Tom organised all aspects of our trip and he put together a wonderful itinerary balancing seeing the landscapes of Namibia with the wildlife viewing as we wanted.

He suggested a series of memorably good lodges and camps with sensible more basic options for when we simply needed a comfortable guesthouse for a night rather than luxury lodge. He discussed and booked a series of excellent activities for us and we kept in contact throughout the period up to the trip.

To demonstrate the great level of service. We managed to leave an ipad at Damaraland Camp and between the wonderful camp staff and Tom and his colleague Tracey's efforts and ingenuity they managed to organise its return to us back in London - this was definitely above and beyond!.

All in all it was a wonderful holiday, faultlessly organised and we would very highly recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia between 21 Sep 2024 and 8 Oct 2024
"Apart from my disappointments about Safarihoek this was another fantastic trip to this magical country.

As ever Expert Africa went above and beyond.

Anderssons was the highlight but other lodges were great too.

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia between 14 Sep 2024 and 26 Sep 2024
"The trip was fantastic.

Namibia is stunning, both the landscapes and the wildlife. We had amazing food, amazing camps, some great guides and it was just the best experience.

I’d highly recommend it to anyone and, for us, flying seems like the best way to see as much as you can in a limited amount of time. It is all run so beautifully and it is unbelievable how these camps can exist in such remote places, and be top notch.

The attention to detail is superb, it really was fab, we absolutely loved Namibia." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Namibia between 6 Sep 2024 and 30 Sep 2024
"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with great scenery. We stayed in so many different places and had positive experiences at them all. The holiday was a great mix and the walking gave us time to take it all at a slower pace. We saw more wildlife than we expected. The guides and the staff were all passionate about Namibia and very helpful and friendly.

The driving was very easy.

Anything we would have changed? Probably an overnight stop somewhere after Tok Tokkie and then the last 2 nights at Otjimbondona as it was a very long drive after finishing the morning walking." Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 23 on a Namibia trip
