Impala camp is well regarded as offering excellent value for money and a great overall level of service and guiding. Throughout the past few years, we have sent an increasing number of clients to the lodge - all returning with superb reports! As many of the smarter lodges have moved into more exclusive guiding and accommodation, Impala Camp has remained a good quality camp offering good levels throughout for not too much money. If you can not stretch the budget to one of the more expensive lodges then this is definitely a good compromise.

Impala Camp - The Detail
Impala's 8 tents are set amidst the Borassa Palms and Tamarind trees which make up the riparian forest along the banks of the mighty Rufiji River, and each gives superb views out across the river in order to watch the world and wildlife go past. Well furnished with en-suite facilities, each tent is built on platforms (some taller than others!), and equipped with luxurious furniture, shower, WC, dressing area and spacious veranda.
The large meandering Rufiji River, with its network of channels, connecting lakes and swamps, offers visitors the unique opportunity to go on safari by boat and experience the spectacular concentration of wildlife from a unusual perspective. Another activity that is hugely popular is to also go out into the bush on foot to experience safari, not as a spectator, but as part of the wildlife itself! The camp has skilled and knowledgeable guides who lead the game drives, boat trips, walking excursions and fly camping. (another activity that proves to be very popular which involves walking and camping out in the bush for the night if you are brave enough!!)
