Fantastic family trip to Namibia

This April we went with large family group (7people) to Namibia, combining wildlife viewing with other activities such as dune climbing and kayaking. Highlights included searching for (and finding) desert adapted elephants and kayaking with seals. We also spent time with an absolutely excellent guide at Mushara Bush camp who found us a black rhino and a pride of lions who had just fed, she was knowledgeable about birds as well as mammals and ...

This April we went with large family group (7people) to Namibia, combining wildlife viewing with other activities such as dune climbing and kayaking. Highlights included searching for (and finding) desert adapted elephants and kayaking with seals. We also spent time with an absolutely excellent guide at Mushara Bush camp who found us a black rhino and a pride of lions who had just fed, she was knowledgeable about birds as well as mammals and it was a real privilege to spend time with her. The teenagers on the trip said that it was the best thing that they had ever done (despite being without wifi for most of the time!)- praise indeed.

We have travelled with Expert Africa on a number of occasions and always had a good experience. Expert Africa organised a tailor-made itinerary which was near perfect and included booking for restaurants and activities, the attention to detail was impressive. Activities ranged from climbing a dune at dawn to kayaking with seals at Pelican point, plus extensive game viewing and all great fun. The team is extremely knowledgeable about the camps and activities and we always felt confident that they had chosen the best places for our budget.

Namibia Safari

Expert Africa hired a car for us, booked eleven nights' stay for us in six destinations. All of them were typical of their localities and enabled us to see the sights to best advantage. Sand dunes, seaside holiday, rock carvings and game viewing: Namibia has it all! All done by just handing over what was quite a modest amount of money.

As above: they did all for us with the minimum of effort on our part. We said what we wanted and Expert Africa made it happen. All we had to do was the driving - and that was a pleasure in the excellent hired car.

Wonderful scenery and wildlife viewing in Namibia

We spent 15 days touring Namibia. We started in Windhoek, drove to the Sossusvlei area where we had a day's outing to view and walk in the dunes; then on to the coast at Walvis Bay with amazing birdlife. From there we drove north to Damaraland and had close views of desert elephants on a morning game drive. We spent 4 days visiting Etosha National Park - 2 night's staying in one of the park's rest camps and 2 nights in a lodge just outside ...

We spent 15 days touring Namibia. We started in Windhoek, drove to the Sossusvlei area where we had a day's outing to view and walk in the dunes; then on to the coast at Walvis Bay with amazing birdlife. From there we drove north to Damaraland and had close views of desert elephants on a morning game drive. We spent 4 days visiting Etosha National Park - 2 night's staying in one of the park's rest camps and 2 nights in a lodge just outside the park's eastern entrance. Our final 2 nights were spent at Okonjima reserve where we had close views of leopard and cheetah. Apart from Windhoek and Walvis Bay, all our accommodation was in game lodges. Both they and the guest houses provided a very high standard of accommodation in beautiful settings with excellent meals and facilities. The visit was during the rainy season so we encountered muddy wet gravel roads. Having a 4x4 vehicle proved a good choice. The fact that it was the rainy season also meant that in Etosha the animals were more difficult to see than in the dry season when they gather at the waterholes - but in spite of that we had good views of lion, cheetah, giraffes & rhino.

Rating for tour operator:

They were very responsive in terms of planning our itinerary to suit our interests in birdlife and wildlife and in amending their initial proposals when we asked for changes. The advice we received about vehicle hire was very helpful. We felt the itinerary was good value in terms of the standard of accommodation and the excursions we did. When we ran into problems at the start because we managed to arrive to pick up the hire car without our driving licences they were very solicitous and kept in close touch with us by phone until we had organised substitute documentation and were able to collect the hire car and leave Windhoek.

The advisor from Exper Africa listened carefully to my preferences, e.g. Not too many long drives and plenty of opportunities to be active. The itinerary was exactly what we wanted and very well planned.

A very smooth and enjoyable trip with every detail covered for us.

We had previously booked a holiday to Namibia two years ago with Expert Africa, which we absolutely loved. We returned to see some of the spectacular sights of Southern Namibia and then travelled into South Africa. The entirety of the trip was self-drive staying in a range of accommodation from game lodges, to B&Bs to 5 star hotels.

Expert Africa had made all of the arrangements for us which helped our holiday to run very smoothly. All of the accommodation recommended and organised by Expert Africa was excellent. There is always someone available to assist with enquiries or emergencies, and the trip represented good value.
