Trip to Namibia
Namibia between 6 Mar 2009 and 14 Mar 2009
We loved the Wilderness Lodges.
I would highly recommend Turnstone Tours as well as Sefofane airways.
Suggestions for improvements:
If you were Expert World, we'd want to contact you for any future trips to other continents as well. Are you aware of companies of your caliber who cover Central America, South America or New Zealand?"
Feedback response
I'm sorry that Expert Africa operates purely as an African specialist - but this does allow us to concentrate on what we know best: trips and safaris to Africa.
That said, we are part of the Sunvil family of owner-run travel companies - all based in the same place in south-west London. This includes a Central /South America specialist: Sunvil Latin America - and we can certainly recommend them!
For other areas, we recommend that you start looking for specialist travel companies in the UK on the website of AITO - the Association of Independent Tour Operators. This trade organisation upholds high standards; most of the UK's best specialist travel companies are AITO members.

"The day trip with Ernest of Turnstone tours to Sandwich Harbour was unforgettable - riding and hiking over miles of untouched beach with high dunes and unspoiled coast with waves crashing and no sign of other humans all day was fabulous.
Ernest, a third generation German Namibian really knows the flora and fauna and has a passion for showing it to others. I feel if we'd driven through those conditions with anyone less expert, we'd still be there - perhaps adding our skeletons to the skeleton coast.
A great day of exercise and adventure particularly appreciated during a week of seeing wonderful sites yet with limitations in exploring on foot."

"Doro Nawas review"
sites to see nearby were less exciting that the phenomenal ones we experienced near Sossuslvei, Swapkopmund, and Ongave Lodge"
Ongava Lodge
"Ongava Lodge review"
great guide and hosts at the lodge
fabulous rooms, bordered on being so large and nice as to lose the feel of being in the bush.
The dining areas setting overlooking the waterhole was wonderful."
