Tailor-made Namibia Safari Traveller Reviews

We 2 weeks in Namibia on our honeymoon - but also our first time in Africa. What an introduction to Africa - the people were friendly, the scenery was forever changing on the endless deserted roads, and the food was amazing. One highlight for my husband was the dunes and hot air ballooning over them. Another highlight for me was the animals - sea kayaking amongst hundreds of seals and being able to touch them and play with them with the paddles was amazing. Also spending two hours metres from a family of desert adapted elephants, and walking behind cheetahs while they were hunting were experiences we will never forget.

Expert Africa were excellent. After initially ruling Africa out as a honeymoon destination we decided to relook at it. Expert Africa put all our concerns at rest. There knowledge was exceptional and they were quick to answer emails. I did not feel silly asking them any type of question. They were also easy to get hold off by phone at the weekend. Expert Africa have made us feel confident to expand on our African travels after Namibia. However, next time we book an African holiday I won't have to do all the initial research of who to go with - I will certainly be going straight to this company.

Very well organised by Expert Africa, including car hire, border crossings, distances to travel and places to stay.

Helpful, personal , friendly service, very knowledgeable about Namibia.

Our holiday was a two week self drive in northern Namibia, through Etosha to the Kavango River and down to Botswana at Mahango followed by a week in Botswana. All wonderful.

Expert Africa's Tracy Lederer gave us excellent advice about all aspects of our trip and made all the arrangements accurately and efficiently. She or colleagues answered all our queries very quickly and helpfully. From studying their brochure onwards they make the whole process easy and enjoyable.

I started by planning a family holiday vacation that included a visit to Victoria Falls as well as to Etosha National Park in Namibia. I contacted Expert Africa to help me with our itinerary. Maruska at Expert Africa did a magnificent job in planning a trip that included a number of other wonderful sites, beyond Victoria Falls and Etosha National Park. For example, she recommended a river safari on Chobe river. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Expert Africa planned a trip that was within our budget while it went beyond our expectations in terms of our experience and the memories we are taking home with us.

As I've mentioned above, Maruska at Expert Africa did an excellent job planning a trip for us to Southern Africa that took into account our budget (both time and financially) and went beyond our expectations in terms of our experience and what we saw and did. I will be recommending Expert Africa to all of my friends and colleagues who are planning trips to Africa.

We had already arranged some aspects of a two week trip to Namibia to see wildlife and Cape Town for some seaside relaxation. Expert Africa sorted the bookings of accommodation in Namibia and suggested part of the itinerary. We were 5 people including my 80yr old mother and 11yr old daughter. We had a the best time, everything ran very smoothly, it was a great experience for all of us. The wildlife, landscapes and people made it an unforgettable trip. There were no negative aspects. The accommodation in some remote locations was of the highest standard with excellent food and friendly staff

Expert Africa were happy to help despite flights, car hire and some accommodation already being booked. They suggested an itinerary and made bookings. They were very supportive, provided a lot of high quality information both initially and in the immediate run up to the trip. We felt very well supported and although we did not need their assistance whilst away I felt that they had provided all of the information and contact details that we would need in any eventuality. I felt confident that should an issue arise Expert Africa would sort it out from a small matter to the most serious. Give my mother's age this was a considerable comfort to know that such experienced assistance was at hand. Following the trip EA were again in touch looking for detailed feedback on each step of the trip including each accommodation and service provider. I would readily recommend them to friends and colleagues and use them again in the future

Our trip fulfilled our dreams for the perfect African safari. It was expertly planned and executed by Maruska at Expert Africa.

Expert Africa was responsive to all of our thoughts and desires, and used these along with their own expertise and knowledge to build us an over the top safari, one which was as excellently executed as it was planned. They made our vision happen in all the beautiful hues of the areas. They are simply the best!

The holiday was everything we hoped for, we got to see the country (Namibia) meet many of the people, including knowledgeable guides who helped us see all the wildlife we hoped for at close quarters.

We chose one of Expert Africa's suggested trips and they were able to quickly adapt it to suit our particular requirements. They had a host of helpful suggestions and advised on things we would not have thought of. Their guide to local customs, risks, checklists and so on was invaluable. their local agent met us at the airport and helped us thoroughly check the hire car and ensure we knew how to use the jacks etc. everything went very smoothly.

We had a marvellous adventure driving around this beautiful country, Namibia. The scenery was stunning, desert landscapes, sand dunes, mountains and the Skeleton Coast. The colours of the rising and the setting sun were gorgeous. The wildlife was fantastic. We saw so many wonderful animals. The food was delicious and the people were delightful. We would highly recommend this holiday.

Professional, helpful, sensitive to our needs. Very supportive with problems that occurred that were no fault of theirs. Would always recommend them.

I had a range of safari experiences that I wanted to cover - wild dogs, black and white rhinos and leopards - along with the mainstream sightings of lion, cheetah, elephant and the range of antelope and plains animals. I ticked all of these boxes. I also wanted to experience, in particular, the desert scenery and environment of Namibia and the Kalahari and I covered all of those bases in style. The majority of my travel attracted four to five stars with a couple of areas coming in a little lower and at the end of it all there was only one lodge/area that I thought struggled. Not a bad result when after all TIA (This is Africa!)

The majority of my travel went well.

The knowledge, experience, helpfulness and professional service provided by Expert Africa is second to none we have experienced. EA listened to what we wanted to do and provided an itinerary which ticked every box. Every booking during the whole 3 week safari was recognised and honoured. Flights and transfers were seamless. Companies used by Expert Africa were helpful and efficient. Queries and requests were answered promptly and courteously. Information was useful and relevant. Attention to detail was impressive. We highly recommend using Expert Africa. They are truly experts on the African experience.

Maruska Adye our tour operator listens to what her clients want and provides an itinerary based on her superior knowledge which fulfills every requirement. She is unfailingly polite, prompt in responding to queries and entirely professional in her manner. One feels Maruska goes out of her way to ensure you are treated by her as a VIP deserving the very best she can offer. We met several other of Maruska's clients while on safari and all were profuse in their praise of the service she provided them. We would not hesitate in using Maruska again and in recommending her. Expert Africa is fortunate indeed in having agents of such calibre.
