A bucket list road trip fro Cape Town to Windhoek

A 19 night break with a short detour for 3 days for a wedding, we enjoyed the ever changing scenery as we drove north and remote become a common word. We have visited Namibia before and wondered whether we would love it so much - we needn't have worried, it didn't disappoint. Its a trip we would do again, perhaps in spring when the flower season is in full swing in the Western and Northern Cape.

We have travelled with Expert Africa before and didn't hesitate to go back to them for this trip. Their service was impeccable as before. Their small team know their business and their market and look after them both very well. A true specialist tour operator.

2 Week Adventure in Namibia

We did a self drive trip and visited the desert, coast and northern safari lodges. It was an incredible diversity of wildlife and scenery with excellent activity options.

This was the second trip we've taken through Expert Africa. I think they put a lot of thought into tailoring their trips to individual tastes. I would certainly recommend them.

Namibia March 2016 - Self drive - a wonderful experience

We travelled from Windhoek to Sossusvlei, then Walvis Bay, Damaraland, Grootberg, Etosha then back to Windhoek. We had a great time at Kulala Desert Lodge, including a wonderful day in the dunes, including dead Vlei. Staff at Kulala were extremely helpful. We saw wonderful flamingoes at Walvis Bay and made the most of the fresh seafood. Doro Nawas and Grootberg Lodge were both above our expectations with amazing sightings of large numbers ...

We saw wonderful flamingoes at Walvis Bay and made the most of the fresh seafood. Doro Nawas and Grootberg Lodge were both above our expectations with amazing sightings of large numbers of desert elephants and black rhino (tracked on foot). In Etosha, we stayed mainly in the rest camps with the bush chalets being of good quality, clean and comfortable and the food at dinners and breakfasts also of high quality. We were lucky to find leopard by one of the waterholes and spent quite a long time following lions that we initially found drinking early in the morning, then again in the late afternoon. Having returned to Windhoek, our last night was spent at Olive Exclusive - amazing for a city centre property with wonderfully equipped suites and, again, excellent food. Everything was really well organised and very good value for money. We would certainly return.

Expert Africa were great from giving advice on our route and possible places to stay, through to their follow up on our return. Following a minor accident, we had some issues with our hire car and Sabina Hekandjo willingly stepped in from the UK and liaised with the hire car company to ensure our holiday was not disrupted. This was our second trip to Namibia with them, Sabina has been very helpful and knowledgable on both occasions. We are very impressed and will certainly use Expert Africa again. We have total confidence in them.

We did a self drive holiday around the south of Namibia.The route plan and arrangements made by Expert Africa were indeed expert!

Drove several thousand kilometres on mainly excellent dirt roads. Experienced a huge range of magnificent desert scenery, the highlight being the dunes at Souussvelei. Stayed in middle-range (occasionally high end ) lodges which were very comfortable, with good food and charming and helpful staff.Thoroughly enjoyed the solitude of the roads ( one other car per hour, virtually no settlements) which we shared with the occasional springbok and ...

A relaxing, energy-giving and inspirational holiday.

Namibian Safari November 2015

We had a very enjoyable 9 day trip to Namibia organised by Expert Africa. On the whole the lodges we stayed at were very good and the car hire arrangements worked well. I thought the overall cost was competitive and Expert Africa very helpful in making suggestions and the arrangements.

We couldn't have put together such a well balanced and organised trip without the personal attention of Tracey Lederer at Expert Africa whose personal experience of Namibia and our destinations made a huge difference. This was our second trip with Expert Africa and third with a Sunvil company. All have been perfectly arranged.
