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.

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.

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.

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

Best holiday
Exploring Nambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe with Impala Tours was awesome. We had a lot of fun and beautiful sightings during our tour with them at the Okavango Delta. The self-drive trip was planned excellently by them. We will come back very soon...

Julius The Great
After much research and filtering through tons of information on the internet we (myself, husband Ray & friend Nadine) decided to use Impala tours. They seemed like the perfect fit for us in regards to type of safari we were looking for, location and pricing. So, in writing this review choosing Impala tours turned out to be one of the best decisions we've ever made.
We corresponded with Yvonne and she was very prompt with responding to my many questions and emails. She made us feel comfortable with our decision so we sent our deposit and booked them. So, our dream Botswana safari was about to become a reality!
Our guide Andre was waiting for us right when we landed in the small city of Maun. Our safari was 4 nights and 5 days. We stayed 2 nights in Third bridge camp and 2 nights at Gcadikwe Island camp. Both camp sites were more than adequate and had no fences so we loved how wild they felt. If you are looking for a more wild, unpredictable and less "touristy" safari then look no further than Botswana and Impala tours. Andre was very flexible so it felt like the whole safari was customized to us. During our driving, boating and walking safaris we saw tons of wild life including 4 of the big 5! We barely saw any other tour groups on our excursions so if felt exclusive and wild.
One of our highlights and most unforgettable memories was when "Julius" a large male elephant decided to visit us when we were around our campfire. Let's just say that after he mock charged us twice and got within 10 feet of us we will always refer to him as Julius The Great!
In summary, Impala tours greatly exceeded our expectations and thank them for an unforgettable experience!
