My Sep 2015 trip
Namibia between 4 Sep 2015 and 18 Sep 2015
"We had an amazing trip. Thank you to Martha for putting it together for us. Book useful for finding lunch places and info on each area. A lot of driving but all manageable as stops well planned. Would recommend Expert Africa to anyone.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Be aware that Wilderness often have big tours at their sites. Also Erongo brochure says 2 hours to airport it is 3.
Namibia as a country is friendly and non threatening. Never felt unsafe."

"Friendly family who ate with us all. You share their meal table with the other guests.
We did the quiver tree gorge walk which was demanding but good. Pretty exhausted at the end."

"Great location looking over the dunes. We went on the early morning trip to see the sun rise over the dunes and climb but we didn't attempt Big Daddy.
We took a smaller dune and met others later. Guide was helpful and very good at explaining the geology etc.
This was one of the best organised sites we stayed on. Attention to every detail. Efficient staff but friendly."

"Be good if people well aware that much colder here. Thank you for pre booking kayaking trip. This was well organised and fun despite the fact we hadn't done this before we managed well. Do be aware that you might need to take sea sickness tablets as I felt a bit off towards end of trp.
Hotel helpful and booked evening meals at the Jetty and Kukis. The latte was rather surreal to find typical Herman beer cellar in the middle of Africa."

"Wonderful location and we had a great trip looking and finding desert elephants.
Staff friendly and helpful when asked but lack of attention to detail compared to other places.
B B Q under stars was great and could move our bed out to sleep under stars."

Anderssons Camp, Namibia (this camp has since closed)
"Anderssons Camp review"

Arrived
13 Sep 2015
"Wonderful position by waterhole ( lions and black rhino one night). Good game drive on their own reserve and the rest we did on our own in Etosha. So much wildlife to see? Helpful to have notes on waterholes.
Staff excellent.
We did share the camp with a rather large group tour which made it noisy at meal times. We are glad you booked us here rather than the government site in the reserve."
