A fabulous trip of a lifetime.
Namibia between 18 Sep 2018 and 30 Sep 2018
"We had a wonderful time. Namibia was stunning, the people are friendly and it’s easy to get around. Josh from Expert Africa was excellent with his local knowledge and we would thoroughly recommend. He booked some fabulous places for us to stay and really listened to what we wanted from our trip and delivered 100%."

"We stayed in a villa which was incredible- we felt like VIP guests. A fantastic hotel which I couldn’t fault, it surpassed all expectations. Everything was included and the staff couldn’t do more for us. I would go back in a second."

Ongava Lodge
"lovely lodge with great watering hole view"
2 nights
Arrived
22 Sep 2018
"Beatuiful setting and lovely lodges. Being able to view a watering hole at night from a height while eating dinner was excellent. Slightly disappointed that there was no walking safari available when I asked us the game drive was very good. My husband was ill on our first night so I had to eat alone, it seemed that I didn’t receive as good service as I did the following night when he was with me."

Kayaking with seals
"fabulous experience"
25 Sep 2018 • Morning excursion
It was incredible to be so close up to the seal pups, they are so playful. Unfortunately when we called to check our booking the night before they didn’t know about us and it had been passed on to another company without letting expert Africa know. That was concerning. Also, the timing was different to what we had been given so you must phone the night before you go.
Desert Homestead
"Beautiful tranquil setting"
2 nights
Arrived
26 Sep 2018
"Simple accommodation but a lovely setting and the staff were lovely and seemed to genuinely love working there. Food was great. We used this as a base to go to sossoufvlei which worked perfectly. It was lovely to take a walk on their nature trail too."

Bagatelle Kalahari Game Ranch
"Wish we could have stayed longer"
1 night
Arrived
28 Sep 2018
"We stayed here just one night which just wasn’t enough, this is a lovely hotel and has so much wildlife close by including the troupe of meerkats who live there. Views were incredible and the game drive was good with an opportunity to get out of the vehicle close to a group of giraffes. The cheetah reserve seemed well run and the dedication of the staff was obvious."
