"Our trip was absolutely fantastic and we loved it! Our experience with Expert Africa, and in particular Gwynneth, was brillant.
Suggestions for improvements:
Your service was so good, we cannot think of any way you could improve!"

Ongava Lodge
"Ongava Lodge review"
3 nights
Arrived
13 Sep 2009
"We loved Ongava. It was a perfect base for exploring Etosha and being on a private game reserve offered us further fantastic and different game viewing opportunities in addition to Etosha.
The waterhole below the restaurant provided constant entertainment. The rooms were fantastic - spacious and recently renovated. However, unfortunately and very sadly 600 Rand went missing from our safe during our stay therefore we have given it an overall good r
ating, though without the theft it merits "excellent"."

Mowani Mountain Camp

2 nights
Arrived
16 Sep 2009
"Fantastic! The camp was extremely stylish with the most spectacular views. Staff were brilliant and the food was the best we had all trip.
Tents were beautiful but could perhaps have done with little a bit of a deeper clean."

Cape Cross Lodge
"Cape Cross Lodge review"
1 night
Arrived
18 Sep 2009
"The lodge is in a beautiful place and the rooms are lovely and spacious in a seaside style.
There was only one other couple staying at the lodge when we were there which felt a bit strange. Staff were very unfriendly in comparison to the other lodges that we stayed at.
We knew that there was building work going on in advance but it did not disturb us at all, although it looks like the lodge is going to become very large which may make it less attractive in the future."

Kulala Desert Lodge
"Kulala Desert Lodge review"
3 nights
Arrived
21 Sep 2009
"We loved Kulala Desert Lodge. It has the most beautiful view over the dunes and is much closer to the dunes than many other lodges as it has its own entrance to the park (though frustratingly this entrance cannot be used independently, you must go on a guided tour to use it).
The rooms were a bit more basic than expected and could definitely do with some refurbishment. The staff were fantastic and we particularly liked the guide David."

GocheGanas
"Gocheganas Wellness Village review"
2 nights
Arrived
24 Sep 2009
"A perfect place to finish a trip (or perhaps even to begin one). It is an hour's drive to the airport and the spa offers all the relaxation you could want.
The game reserve also has a lot of animals and is great for walking or mountain biking. It has more of a hotel feel to it than a lodge feel.
The rooms were nice but unfortunately on the first night our room was infested with insects, Gocheganas were obviously aware of the issue and as soon as we complained they moved us to a different room."

It was a very comfortable and pretty place to sleep and recover from the flight and also to explore Windhoek from (though not really by foot as it is a bit out of the centre).
The owner, Rolf, was extremely friendly and helpful."
