"Selous Impala Camp review"
We think this important, to eat with other guests and guides, even if only for an occasional meal. Saw lots more birds but less game here, although we did see leopards from both camps. Again an open camp with daily visits
This camp was accurately described by Claire [Ed: of Expert Africa!]. We really enjoyed the diversity of activity. We particularly appreciated for the first time ever for us on safari, (we always go July/August) seeing green by the lakes and rivers which gave us and indication as to what the landscape in East Africa would be like in their summer months."

Rooms were excellent. The guiding was also very good. The river cruises were excellent an offered a nice complement to the game drives." See all these reviews: 10n in Tanzania; 2n in Zanzibar

Safari was amazing. We saw a great variety of animals and habitats. The guides knew everything!
A perfect choice for a honeymoon as lots of extra touches to make it feel like an extra special trip." See all these reviews: 4n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar

"Fantastic experieince at Impala"
Brilliant guide (Macumba - that's what we called him anyway), and our boat safari guide Hassan. Particularly enjoyed the fly camp and walking. Saw some really interesting things because of their experience and knowledge. The boat safaris also provided good variety from the drives. The bird life, especially along the river, was superb.
We liked the open vehicles, and there was only ever the 4 of us in a land Rover/boat. Highlight for me probably watching the elephants with their babies swim across the crocodile infested Rufiji!" See all these reviews: 8n in Tanzania; 6n in Zanzibar

The atmosphere was more one of a relaxed house party. Treated as individuals and specific needs explored and catered for with lots of 'special' surprises (e.g. sunset cocktails, hot cappucino with the wake up call)." See all these reviews: 4n in Tanzania; 4n in Zanzibar

The guiding was very good and we saw plenty of wildlife, including hippo actually in the camp.
The food was really good - imaginative and interesting and of particular note was the chance to have a genuine cappuccino! The 'fly camping' was a good experience." See all these reviews: 13n in Tanzania; 1n in Kenya
"Impala Camp, luxury in the Selous"
Saw lots of wildlife, and had our best ever sighting of leopard.
The transfer to the air strip by boat was also a nice option." See all these reviews: 11n in Tanzania; 3n in Zanzibar
"Selous Impala Camp review"
All the safaris - driving, walking (and having a bush breakfast), and boat were amazing, and the trip to the bird island with Abdullah was a real adventure, as there was barely enough water in places to get there. And seeing our first leopard was breathtaking. Ezra our guide was delightful as well as being very knowledgeable.
Mateo, the manager, was friendly and entertaining, and the atmosphere accommodated everyone - honeymooners, single travellers, and mothers and sons! Although there are separate tables for eating, this didn't feel as unsociable as I thought it might.
Delicious food, with a choice of main course for the evening meal, and excellent service. The espresso coffee, bedside reading lamps and early morning tea brought to the tent felt like real treats. The complemetary laundry service was a nice touch, and the shower gel was gorgeous!" See all these reviews: 7n in Tanzania; 5n in Zanzibar
