Incredible Dunes, Incredible Tour!
5/5

Our 3 Day, 2 Night Sossusvlei Dunes Tour with Impala Tours was incredible! Not only were the dunes amazing, but our guide was brilliant. Andre went out of his way to help us and answer all our questions. He even showed us the stars and pointed out many interesting aspects. The accommodation was beautiful and the meals were great, especially the evening buffet.
I am travelling to Namibia again next year and will definitely travel with Impala Tours.

Quick, beautiful, informative trip!
5/5

Andres was our guide for three of us, for 2 nights in Sossouvlei to and from Windhoek. He was an amazing guide, funny, answered all of our questions, was so knowledgable and was able to personalize our trip to what we wanted to do in the short amount of time we were there. He took us to and from the airport and made sure we accomplished what we wanted. Our days were jammed packed, and there were no complaints, other than I wish I had more time to stay and explore Namibia. Thanks for the great trip!

3 Day Dune Experience (Camping)
5/5

What an unbelievable trip.

We had some difficulties at the beginning booking the campsite we were staying in at Sossusvlei, due in part to my lateness confirming the trip, but managed to work it out. I advise booking early to avoid this possible issue, but Andre and his team did a great job of clearing that up. He also managed to rearrange the final destination of the trip, moving it from Windhoek to Swakopmund quite cheaply for our group, which was greatly appreciated.

Andre and Barrel were the most amazing people to have shared this experience with. My five friends and I took this quick vacation, and had no idea what to expect. We were given a luxurious camping experience, with mattress pads, fabulous homecooked meals, with china plates...the works. We woke up in the morning for lovely sunrises, dune hikes, pool relaxation time, and sundowners. Throughout our excursions, either driving around, walking the dunes, or visiting the smallest canyon in the world, Andre was a wealth of information (ASK ABOUT THE FAIRY CIRCLES!!! CRAZY) and a great conversationalist to boot. The trip was short but sweet, and I cannot recommend it more. I hope to join Impala Tours again soon!

Botswana round trip incl Okavango Delta
5/5

Impala Tours did an excellent job, perfect organisation, communication and service,
we booked for the 5th or 6th time, I stopped counting it because there is no other firm, which can do it better.

Thanks a lot and see you back next time in southern Africa.

Excellent 5 day tour to the dunes and Swakopmund
5/5

Had a wonderful time on our 5 day excursion. We were picked up at our hotel in Windhoek by Holger and quickly realized he was going to be an excellent tour guide for the dunes and Swakopmund. He was very knowlegeable about Namibia and let us in on little know facts of the places we visited, as well as being very personable. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME- THANK YOU HOLGER ANDIMPALA TOURS.

Extraordinary Adventure and Experience (10 Stars)
5/5

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!
5/5

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.
5/5

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!
5/5

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!
