Amazing trip!
Namibia and 1 other country between 31 Jul 2015 and 19 Aug 2015
"We had an amazing time in Africa and loved our trip. All the places to stay were nice and pretty much everything we did was enjoyable.
Most disappointing thing was cancelled balloon flight but that was out of anyone's control.
Thank you for arranging it and we would definitely recommend Namibia and Expert Africa to others. Didn't want to come home!"

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch
"Great stay at Bagatelle!"
1 night
Arrived
2 Aug 2015
"Might have been worth knowing that we needed to be there by 3pm for the afternoon activities as we only stayed one night. Also quite short on food at dinner as we went a bit later.
However excellent stay, thoroughly enjoyed activities, food was very nice and staff were very good and welcoming. Location and scenery (and room) were amazing."

"Not for you if you don't want to sleep in the same room as mice! Interesting place and location, fantastic scenery and enjoyed cooking on the braai.
Very remote, one night probably enough for us."

"Excellent walking"

"Loved the camp sites - showers and toilets were brilliant. Sleeping on camp beds under the stars was unforgettable - real highlight of our trip. Walking was good (although hot and we were in winter!) and very enjoyable, guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Camp staff were also really friendly and accommodating. Loved having lunch on the middle day in the middle of nowhere (and the rest afterwards!) Desert scenery was very spectacular!
Would definitely recommend this activity."

Room was really nice, excellent location - very close to town, and secure. Enjoyed the little balcony area.

"Nice room and warm welcome. Booked activities but confusion over whether it was going ahead and timings were confused - too many staff involved it seemed. (actual activity when sorted was good).
Pool was closed and emptied for half our stay with no warning - a shame (would have used it earlier if we had known).
Food was really nice and all staff were very keen to help."

Ondudu Safari Lodge
"Loved staying at Erongo"
1 night
Arrived
14 Aug 2015
"Loved our stay at Erongo - possibly the best place we stayed. Walking activities - sundowner and morning hike (included) were really really good and made our stay.
Loved the outdoor but sheltered bathroom and the huge balcony but room was fully secure and felt safe. Enjoyed the drive from the parking area which you definitely needed a 4x4 for!
Food and restaurant was nice, staff welcoming and helpful - if anything we would have loved to stay an extra night here."

"Nice place to stay as a stopover on the way to airport. Everything was good but nothing really stands out (wouldn't suggest using it as a base for windhoek, just for the airport).
Food very nice (which was good because we didn't want to brave the track in the dark to get back into town)."

"Great place to stay. Excellent location in town but very near the falls (all walking distance).
Staff very helpful and friendly and booked activities for us and charged them to room along with dinner making everything very straightforward. Best pool of all the places we stayed, amazing food and loved the river cruise that we booked through them.
Only downside was the workmen working right outside our room as we were on the ground floor - so couldn't really use the balcony outside area. But had a lovely time here and would definitely recommend"

Very helpful staff on desk, directed us around Windhoek and booked dinner for us (despite offering dinner at the guest house they were happy to help us go elsewhere). Room very pleasant, cake very nice in afternoon."
