Spectacular holiday to Namibia

We had a 17 night self-drive holiday in Namibia in May 2025 to celebrate a retirement and recovery from illness. We stayed at a variety of lodges ranging in style but all were friendly, clean and comfortable. The trip was a mixture of visiting scenic areas and wildlife viewing. Everything went smoothly, we felt very well looked after and some of the places we stayed at were nothing short of stunning.

If we had tried to plan this trip ourselves (our usual preference) then it would have been nowhere near as amazing as what it was. Our itinerary would have been too ambitious and we would have missed out on some delightful places as they were not promoted as heavily as others or we did not think we would enjoy them. All interactions were pleasant, straightforward and timely and we had no issues at all with payments to Expert Africa or at the lodges. Everything they arranged for us went swimmingly.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting us to help plan this incredible adventure! I’m thrilled everything went smoothly and that you enjoyed the mix of different styles of camps. I'm especially glad that Anderssons at Ongava was delightful and so laidback!

Knowing how meaningful this safari was to you both, I am thrilled it went beautifully. Very warm wishes, Sabina @ Expert Africa

Namibia - Expert Africa

Firstly we must give thanks to Karen and Tracey for all their help and advice, making this trip a fabulous experience. Our trip consisted of 3 nights at Little Kulala in the Namib-Nauklult National Park and 3 nights at the Ongava Tented Camp near to the Etosha National Park.

Our trip consisted of 3 nights at Little Kulala in the Namib-Nauklult National Park and 3 nights at the Ongava Tented Camp near to the Etosha National Park. The trip was bookended by a night at the beginning and end of our visit at the Weinberg hotel in Windhoek, staying on a bed and breakfast rate. The highlight of our time spent at Little Kulala was a Hot Air Balloon flight, whilst at Ongava lots of animals were spotted, Overall an amazing experience one that will remain in our memories for ever. Both places we stayed at where both peaceful and relaxing environments, this helped to switch off and enjoy the accommodation and the facilities offered.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure for Karen and me to help you plan this special trip to Namibia. It sounds like you had a wonderful balance of adventure and relaxation, from the hot air ballooning over the Namib dunes to the fantastic wildlife sightings at Ongava. I’m so pleased you found both places peaceful and the perfect setting to switch off and enjoy the experience fully. Thanks again for sharing your feedback, and I hope we can help plan your next adventure when the time is right.

Namibia tour

An 18 days holiday, self drive, around a beautiful country. We saw loads of wildlife and learnt about the flora and fauna. Particularly interesting also to visit the Africat Foundation at Okonjima.

Thank you Alan and Diana for your wonderful review, and we're very happy you enjoyed a visit to beautiful Namibia. We're glad you got to enjoy many of the highlights of Namibia on your trip, from Swakopmund, Namib-Naukluft and Damaraland to Etosha, and it was wonderful to meet you in person while you were in Windhoek. You had so many great highlights from your visit, and your stay at Okonjima sounds especially lovely, if short, and we're pleased that you’re already thinking about a return visit! We look forward to helping you plan your return trip. All the best, Sabina @ Expert Africa

Tour around Namibia

Starting in Kasane in Botswana we travelled along the Caprivi strip, through Etosha and ending up in the Namib desert, staying in a series of small boutique lodges across the country

We've used Expert Africa previously to organise a trip in Southern Namibia and were very impressed with the service they offerred, both from an organisation, cost and knowledge perspective. This trip didn't dissapoint and we stayed at some incredible places which we'd never hav found without them. The trip ran flawlesly which isn't something you often say about an African adventure

Expert Africa responded to this review on 08 Aug 2024:

Thank you for the great review, Jonathan. I could not be happier that your second trip with us ran flawlessly, and that the arrangements went to plan. I’m very pleased that you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves - seeing elephants swimming in the Chobe; watching crocodiles from your private deck overlooking the Okavango River; sipping sundowners on the Angolan riverbank; being spoilt with mouth-watering meals; staying in stunning locations with beautiful rooms. It was our pleasure to help you plan this beautiful trip, and I look forward to helping you plan your next adventure. Sabina @ Expert Africa

Perfect Two-Week Namibia Holiday

Spent two glorious weeks in Namibia! Stayed in Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Damaraland, and Ongava. Went ballooning, visited ancient petroglyphs and saw amazing wildlife. All of the accommodations were lovely as were the food and staff!

Sabena at Expert Africa spent a lot of time customizing this trip from me. Extremely knowledgeable and organized. My flight from Germany was delayed a day and instead of arriving at 8:30 in the morning I arrived the following day very late at night but Sabena & the rest of the Expert Africa staff stayed late and made sure we arrived at our destination & even had my hotel open the kitchen to make me something to eat! Great customer service!

We are delighted your trip to Namibia was everything you hoped it would be, and then some! We’re very pleased we were able to help arrange so many wonderful experiences to celebrate your birthday.

Expert Africa responded to this review on 17 Jul 2024:

It was our pleasure helping you plan this wonderful trip. Your input was invaluable and made the process easy. We especially appreciate you letting us know of the flight delay right away and for keeping us updated on all new developments until you were on your way. That was an enormous help to us with re-arranging things on the ground for you. We're very pleased it all worked out well and that you had such a great experience once you'd arrived.
