We stayed 3 nights in Feb 2012 @ the Selous Impala Camp. We arrived from Dar es Salaam and have been picked up by Gerald, our guide for the next 3 days. He immediately offered us fresh towels and some juice. The we drove to the camp and had our first small game drive. Once arrived at the camp we... More

The rooms were immaculate and i... More

We had never been to Africa but knew we wanted to start our honeymoon with a safari. We had received lots of conflicting information and advice about the best places to go. In the end we went to a specialist travel agent who put together the holiday for us. The safari cost more than we anticipated but wow we were... More

We spent the first four nights of our honeymoon at Impala Camp and could not find any fault at all. We received a warm welcome by the management team and our waiter, David. Everyone was so friendly and the service was extremely personalised. Our guide, Gerard, was fantastic. He shared his extensive knowledge and passion for the bush. His instinct... More

Absolutely fantastic - the tents, the guides, the personnel, the safari, the location, the reserve, the trees, the animals - and a perfect balance between comfort, style, and nature. One of our all-time favorites! More

Our stay at the Impala Camp was totally fantastic. Our first experience of Africa - and it couldn't have been better. The camp is beautiful. The restaurant and bar are open to the river - with a lovely pool just right for a mid-afternoon dip. As its in the middle of the Selous Reserve, hippos, elefants and other animals wander... More

We stayed at this camp from Dec 28-31, at the end of our Tanzania/Zanzibar vacation. Stunning views of the Rufiji river, heavenly sunsets and exceptionally friendly staff made this one of our best vacations ever. Each meal was a unique experience with ingenious themes and presentations! Bush breakfasts, lunch in the airy thatched lounge and dinner under the stars made... More

The food was amazing - well cooked and presented and served by our personal waiter. My wife is lactose intolerant and although the manager was told about this (by our travel agent before we arrived, and by us on arrival) the message didn't make it through to the kitchen. Several times she was served food she could not eat and... More

Izra our guide made the entire 3 days a real treat - he was the silver lining. Management was nice and helpful. However, I did not receive the personal warmth I had felt at other camps but, not an issue. The food was good but, not great. Having your own waiter and rotating table each meal was nice but, never... More
