My Aug 2024 trip
Namibia and 3 other countries between 8 Aug 2024 and 27 Aug 2024
"A superb trip.
I cannot fault the service from Expert Africa (again!). Incredibly efficient and knowledgeable.
The locations you selected for us suited very well indeed and were universally fantastic.
A truly marvellous and memorable trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No; you nailed it."

"A pretty simple camp, a bit institutional with fairly ordinary food and service.
But the waterhole is absolutely incredible.
Wildlife noted below is what we saw at the waterhole alone."

We had a lovely boat trip on the river upstream to Popa Falls, but didn't do any other excursions"

"What an amazing tented camp.
The location is superb and the adjacent waterhole, regularly visited by all manner of wildlife, was incredible.
More than once we had to vacate the swimming pool as elephants approached!
Very friendly welcoming staff but a little bit chaotic in arranging then cancelling activities, but it didn't detract from a magical experience."

"Among a tightly crowded field, probably just about our favourite place.
A really lovely, welcoming atmosphere from arrival with a proper family feel to it.
Extremely efficiently run and very comfortable.
Our guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable in an understated way.
A cracking place which we cannot fault."
