Extraordinary Adventure and Experience (10 Stars)
I had been to Africa on Safari before but this time was different. I now had a family of 5 and it can be difficult to keep them all engaged and excited. I searched through 5 different vendors before finally settling on Impala tours. This was due to a combination of price, value, and responsiveness. Before I knew it I had another family of 3 as well as another couple that was going to join us. I was a bit hesitant as I was now responsible for 10 people’s happiness in the choice I had made. It was soon apparent that I had nothing to worry about. Our tour operator Andre provided an outstanding tour. Impala’s difference from other operations is on the total experience. Our guide was enjoyable to be around and was able to provide additional accommodations when we decided to extend our stay beyond Etosha and add a night at Swakopmund. This was done all without issue. As a Native Namibian our guide spoke English, German, Afrikaans, and some of the local tribal languages. Our children loved the experience and really enjoyed having Andre as the tour guide as his humor and good nature kept everyone in high spirits. I give my highest recommendations to use Impala tours. If you end up in Swakopmund, ask Andre to show you where to get a “Colonial Coffee” (it is impressive and delicious)

Botswana Okavango Delta Tour was Excellent!
Our family had an outstanding experience with Impala Tours on the 5-day Okavango Delta Tour! Our guide Maselino was fantastic and very patient with our two children (ages 5 and 6). We loved the quiet Gcadikwe island and the Third Bridges Camp....although at the latter while we were away on safari the baboons managed to unzip and invade our tent! The wildlife experience was phenomenal - we had hippo grazing outside our tent and a giraffe that walked right by while we were sleeping; we saw lots of elephant and a large variety of antelope; and best of all, we were lucky enough to see a leopard on a morning stroll. We saw lots of lion prints and could hear them roaring at night, but we never actually saw them. Overall, the experience was awesome and every bit worth the price - very good value! Thank you to the whole team at Gcadikwe for your unbelievable hospitality and most especially to Maselino for the once-in-a-lifetime experience!

The five day Okavango Tour was very exciting, enjoyable and memorable and good value for money.
We had a really great time in Okavango with Impala Tours. Our tour guide Andre was very knowledgable, friendly and helped to make the tour very enjoyable putting 100% into it. The boat guides and all the support staff at both camps were very welcoming and helpful. The people involved were very entertaining and informative with their stories. Doing the tour meant that we learned a lot about Okavango Delta and it's life. We thoroughly recommend doing excursion with Impala tours and would definitely do it again.
Thanx to Andre, Zero, School and others involved

Everything you think a safari should be but more!
From the minute we contacted Impala Tours it was an A+++ experience. Their attention to every detail of our experience was exceptional, from taking us to and from the airport (thank you Duncan and Sam) to Andre accommodating our need to pick up souvenirs in Maun (definitely beyond the call of duty). We absolutely loved the accommodations while on safari. The tented facilities were perfect. And yes it is a tent, but it was everything you come to expect from a regular hotel room with perfectly comfortable beds and fresh towels. And you don't get further off the grid than on safari. I wouldn't have changed being in tents because that, in my opinion, is what being on safari is all about. Being in the bush with the animals around you, and yes we had a hyena, hippo and giraffe meander through camp. The Okavango Delta was wonderful with Kenny, our driver, taking us on tours. The staff on the island were the best! Thank you Maria, School, Paco and Bennett for making our stay so comfortable. And the animals? Oh we saw so many it was crazy! Elephants, giraffes, hippos, impala, lechwe, baboons, crocodile, cheetah (and her cubs), too many varieties of birds to name oh and zebra, gnus, wart hogs.....well you get the idea. Andre was the best guide ever and his knowledge of the bush and the animals was incredible. I really did think safaris like this only happened in the movies. Thank you Impala Tours for the epic journey!

Perfectly tailor-made honeymoon
What an amazing time! We just got back from 14 days in Namibia for our honeymoon-- by far the best trip of our lives! Not only because Namibia is a jewel of a country, but also because Andre and his team at Impala Tours made it to be the best trip ever.
Starting from the beginning, Andre was very available online for a tailor-made itinerary. He was always making his best to accomodate our preferences for lodges and tailor it to our budget.
Once arrived, he picked us up from the airport and took care of us the entire time, while not necessarily being with us. He was there at the beginning to brief us on our itinerary, at the middle of the trip to pick up our car from Swakopmund (he drove from Windhoek for that) and put us in a plane to fly to Damaraland. He was also there to welcome us back in Windhoek on the end of the trip and insure transfer to the airport.
All the logistics we really well thought-out, he took care of everything and we just enjoyed our time in Namibia ---- a truly enchanting country.
Another very nice thing he did was also mention to every lodge that we were honeymooners. Surprises were awaiting us at each check in!
We definitely recommend this Tour op', and the price is really, really, worth it.
Enjoy Namibia!

an excellent customer experience
This is my 4th time in Africa.I organized my trip with 3 different travel agents covering different areas:south Namibia, north Namibia and Botwana to VFalls.The services provided by Impala Tours(north Namibia) were excellent, customizing the trip at a very good quality-price balance and giving the chance to see the highlits of African Safary Trip with a proffesional quide. I received all support not only before deciding to choose them but also after, in solving my problems related to visa requirements. If you have any plans to visit Namibia, Botwana, Zimbabwe or South Africa-contact them!
