EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
Namibia between 2 Aug 2019 and 19 Aug 2019
"Thank you so much to Expert Africa and especially Maruska for making this trip possible and specifically tailored for us.
Maruska spent a lot of time tailoring the programme for us and answering ALL our questions (and we had a lot!) always in a very timely manner. Once in Namibia, everything went very smoothly and was easy.
We had an amazing time, in exceptional places and this trip would not have been possible without Maruska's help
Thank you!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We should do more advertisement in countries outside UK. I am a French national and my family was very keen using a French agency but after a few exchanges with Maruska I could tell she was more efficient/responsive than people at other agencies.
Great services, thank you so much!"

"Above expectations (we had heard mixed feedback about this place).
The lodge is lovely, ideally located next to the mountains, a few trails to do where you can spot mountain zebras! the host was lovely and great atmosphere."

"Great lodge but the service/food was not as great as in the other lodges of the same categories (still good but not great)
activities seem overpriced (we finally decided to do it by ourselves which was a great decision as what they told us we would have done with them was not 100% true based on feedback from some of the travellers)"

"Great lodge in an amazing place and you can spot wildlife
Did one hike (3rd highest mountain - dont need a guide for this, but was very nice)
One thing: sometimes felt the staff was not treated correctly by the head of the lodge and felt sometimes uncomfortable"

"Exceptional place, exceptional service and food!
only comment: private Safari could be better, the guide was not as lively as what we experienced in all the other lodges (and we decided as a result to cancel one activity and do it on our own)"
