Namibia between 22 Aug 2009 and 13 Sep 2009
"After the trip, we think that we spend 1 or 2 days to much in Caprivi strip ( where it is not a lot to see) . These 1 or 2 days would be very useful in Etosha park, I mean in a lodge situated in the park (Halali for instance) in order to see game at dusk (we had to leave the park before 6 pm). Or in the waterberg region. Or in the Namib desert. Or in the south of Namibia (Lüderitz).
Despite of that point it was an extraordinary trip. The advices, the services and and the effectiveness of expert africa were excellent too.
I would like also to say that we appreciate the "Olive grove" in Windhoek : excellent on all points (location, food, room ...)."

"Excellent. The game drive perfect.
Just one point : the afternoon activity was dedicated to the engravings near Twyfelfontein; the guide was not very convinced concerning the interest of this activity and consequently poor and less comments. A pity for me because I was very interested by engravings."

"very nice to be there"

"Excellent. Just a greater flexibility of the guide for the evening activity would be appreciated : 4 girafes coming to the waterhall present a good opportunity as all the participants ( 6 people) indicate him. The guide didn't change the circuit he has in his mind...and we we missed any game.
A dialog between the guide and us would be appreciate in order to "negociate" the drive we want. In fact we didn't have chance with the game and may be - if we encountered an exciting game, I woulldn't write my remark."

Kaisosi Lodge (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)
"No charm but good food"
1 night
Arrived
3 Sep 2009
"After the 7 previous lodges, Kaisosi was disappointing. Room with a bathroom mediocre; restaurant with a ordinary german atmosphere.
Breakfast very limited (basic cafetaria food). But an excellent dinner and a large and intersting view on the river."

"Very plaisant relationship with the owner : Interesting discussions on the region, the country and austral Africa. Very good food.
Concerning the room, we were first on a raft; but with the pitching we were unconfortable and ask to change for the next night ( done without any difficulty). Basic bathroom.
The boss was our private guide; we appreciate. The game drive was a bit poor."

Gabus Game Ranch (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Attractive waterhall. Farm decorated with the design of austro-bavarian style.
Disappointed when arrived (after a long road) because not waited (ignore expert africa as tour operator. and therefor suspicious about our voucher).
1 night seems to be enough.
Before our first night, we asked to expert africa to avoid our second night in Gabus and to book 1 night (the last one) in Windhoek and to switch our reservation in Onkonjima catfarm.
Congratulations to expert africa ( Marusha Adye) to manage it in 1 hour. We were very glad to obtain"
