If you want to be truly spoilt whilst enjoying the wonders of safari, this is the resort for you. A small intimate camp, with absolutely fantastic accommodation, surroundings, staff and neighbours...There are so many great touches the Impala camp offers, from the moment you are greeted from the airstrip with a cool flannel and refreshing drink, to the amazing tented...

Having spent many hours discussing where to spend our honeymoon we finally decided on Impala camp. The moment we met our guide Hussein and driver Omari, we knew we had made the right decision. Accomodation Our tent was perfect. We had all the luxuries we could want but also felt part of the bush. Big comfy bed, 24hour electricity, hot... More

We were there just before the rainy season started which meant everything was green and full of life - perfect for me as I had always thought... More

There's roughing it, and then there's roughing it Italian-style. At Selous Impala, the Italian touch turns this into a deeply luxurious experience. One very serious recommendation: make this your last safari stop, lest you be vexed by the other places you stay. Impala's tents -- all on stilts, as far as I can tell -- are big.

From the moment we were picked up from the airstrip by our superb guide Gerard we knew we had made the correct decision in our choice of camp. Gerards' knowledge , experience and enthusiasm for the animals and the... More

The managers Andrea & Lorenzo realised that for some this is a once in a lifetime experience & make sure the stay is tailored to your wishes & expectations. The atmosphere & location is wonderful. It was the small touches too many to mention that made... More
