A must visit country
Namibia is a must visit country, and with a guide like Andre on hand it opened our eyes to a beautiful, awe inspiring and fascinating country. Fantastic accommodation, great hospitality and food, the most out of this world scenery, great weather we could not say enough about this trip, company and country. Andre and his knowledge, stories and insight were invaluable making our trip even more memorable. We can't wait to return and explore more

It was an amaging experience.
I was extremely impressed with the services being offered by Impala tours. They were very prompt in providing information & guidance. The accommodation and local transport arranged under the package was also of high standard. Most importantly the tour guide, Peter was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodative to our need. It was really a fantastic experience, the mother nature was marvelous giving us a feeling that we were in a different planet than earth. Special thanks to Peter for making our journey comfortable and memorable.
Adventure in Namibia on a Self Drive Tour
Date of trip: 2 June-14 June 2016
Location: Southern Namibia (Windhoek, Fish River Canyon, Ai Ais, Luderitz, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Windhoek)
Type: Self Drive
Overall Rating: Very Good
In general, Impala Tours did a very good job. We were met at the airport and transported to our hotel. There was a briefing, with wine, where we went over the route maps and were introduced to the vehicle - a 4-wheel drive Toyota Hilux with a canopy. The vehicle was in good condition and got us where we needed to go. The electric refrigerator and table included with the vehicle were nice additions. The driving route involved tar and well maintained gravel roads.
Overall the accommodations and food were excellent. If you enjoy meat, the game - kudu, impala, sprinkbok - were plentiful and a real treat.
Helpful tips:
1. If you are not a seasoned road-warrior (we're not), travel with a GPS or Google the directions. This would provide detailed directions in town (mostly) and accurate mileages on the road that were not always evident from the maps/instructions we were given.
2. For accommodations in coastal towns, request a hotel with a sea view.
3. For optional tours book early. The Bogenfels tour required at least 10 days pre-booking.

Great Etosha trip!
Excellent service (thanks, Yvonne) and a smart guide who tried his heart out (ask for Peter, and thank you once again). You need someone who creates his own luck! I've been to Etosha many times and this trip ranked right up there with the best of them.

Simply The BEST
Impala is the only way to go! This was our second, extended journey around Africa and, once again, our expectations were far exceeded. Last time we visited Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe, this time Namibia & South Africa; both trips were amazing and full of breathtaking variety. André (from Impala) put together the most amazing itinerary and every stop was a delight. He seems to know what we want and then find something even better; he also knows what we need before we know that we need it; every aspect is taken care of.
I've recommended Impala to dozens of people and we're already planning a return visit.
Thanks André, for another memorable and delightful journey.

Disappointing experience
We booked a trip to Namibia and Botswana in advance of a year and a half to get a specific driver / guide in Botswana. Andre promised us that. As a result, Andre gave us another driver / guide. Moreover, Andre changed three ordered camps without prior notice. One of these camps was outside the national park, and we had to pay additional fees for entering the park. We are very disappointed.

The sentences on web site are not true
I never recomend this tour company. Almost things that they said is not true.
As for the accomodation, the staff told me that we could see sunset and sunrise there when we asked before booking but actually we cannot tehre. We have to move another place to see and it takes one hour one way if we want. The driver said he doesn't want to. As a result, we could not.
As for payment, they said we can pay credit card but actually they asked me to tell all information about our credit card.
Of course, we could not for our finance security. And they needed money in advance and they told me to return bank transaction fee later if we pay by bank transfer in advance. So I believed and payed in advance by bank transfer but he never return.
This is a very shocked trip....
