Our September 2017 Namibia trip
Namibia between 21 Sep 2017 and 11 Oct 2017
"Overall we are very happy with our trip. This may well be our only trip to sub-Saharan Africa, but if we plan to go back we will certainly use Expert Africa. We saw all the animals we had hoped to and more, while enjoying the freedom of a self-drive trip. Namibia was a spectacular country."

Damaraland Camp
"Damaraland Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
2 Oct 2017
"We very much enjoyed our stay at Damaraland. The staff were absolutely wonderful and felt like they were connected to the community. Our drives out to the riverbed included some excellent elephant sightings and the guide really knew how to approach them. We got extremely close to these amazing animals, in was that would not likely have happened without the guide. Additionally, we were treated to a traditional meal out in the moonlight one evening, and a breakfast with a spectacular view. Truly memorable."

Anderssons Camp, Namibia (this camp has since closed)
"Anderssons Camp"
2 nights
Arrived
4 Oct 2017
"Our stay at Anderssons camp was very nice. Our key memory was the blind located on the camp where you could get really close to the wildlife drinking in the watering hole. The room seemed a little cramped, but other than that was very nice."

Onguma Forest Camp
"Etosha Aoba and Walking Safari"
2 nights
Arrived
6 Oct 2017
"We took a walking safari one morning when we were staying at the Etosha Aoba. It was a very memorable time when we were actually out on the ground seeing the tracks of the cats and antelope. It was also the jumping-off point for our most memorable drive in Etosha, where we saw herds of animals just a few feet from our car."

Okonjima Plains Camp
"Okonjima Plains Camp"
2 nights
Arrived
8 Oct 2017
"Okonjima is on a big cat reserve, and was our key time to see the predators. We were not disappointed, seeing leopards and cheetah, out in the environment where they hunt their food. A truly amazing time. We also had an upgraded room upon arrival, and the area around the lodge was safe to walk in, so we walked for miles. The main lodge is very contemporary, with a watering hole right outside."
