"Unforgetable trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 7 Sep 2007 and 5 Oct 2007
"This was a very rewarding trip to see so much wild life and the amazing landscape of Namibia. My wife broke her wrist on day 4 at Zebra River but even this hardly detracted from the enjoyment of the holiday. Excellent treatment in Swakomund.

As an experienced owner driver of a 4 x 4 I feel that this is the the type of vehicle needed for most of the terrain encountered. There were occasions where the saloon car did not have the ground clearance or the traction required to negotiate the conditions safely." Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"two weeks of meeting africa"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 6 Sep 2007 and 22 Sep 2007
"Wonderful.

Only problem is I daren't hink of going back (at the moment) in case it wasn't as amazing the next time.

I was impressed by Lucy right from the first time I contacted the office at 5.25 one afternoon and I was offering to ring back at a more convenient time, and she just said that it was fine and too important to leave and she would sort out what I wanted straight away."

"A very successful holiday"

I visited South Africa between 6 Sep 2007 and 1 Oct 2007
"We had an excellent holiday with excellent accommodation.

We were able to see the wild flowers and go walking and so we are very satisfied. Our friends, Pat and Ian Acton did all the liaison with you at Expert Africa and so we cannot comment on your overall service." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 11 on a South Africa trip
