De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

Tourists are allowed a day visit to Impalila Island in Namibia without a visa as this island is easily accessible from Kasane in Botswana than from Namibia and hence just decided to have a boat ride and examine what was the specialty of a small Island named Impalila situated on the Chobe river .Tourists are given a one day permit and the immigration office opens at 0800 hrs and closes at 1545 and hence a tourist should return from Impilila island before closure of the Immigration office at 1545 hrs.If you overstay then there is a hefty fine.Next hurdle was getting a speed boat taxi as being a Sunday there was almost negligible local passenger's except for a few tourists who hired private boats and others visiting some other island on the Chobe river.At the Jetty inquired for a boat taxi and finally a Boat driver arriving with a canoe speedboat full of passengers from another island agreed to ferry me to Impalila Island as he had space for just one passenger .Finally at 1125 hrs we left Kasane Boat jetty and headed to Impalila Island.Finally at 1140 hrs arrived on Impalila Island, a speed boat journey of just 15 minutes. Was totally disappointed on stepping ashore on Impalila Island as it just seemed a barren Island with a lone bull grazing on the grassland near the boat jetty.Told the boat driver i would be just visiting the immigration and returning soon for without passengers getting the return boat back to Kasane would be difficult.From the boat jetty had to walk up the island along a rocky path in the hot blazing Sun and luckily the "Namibia Cutom/Immigration" was not a very long walk from the boat jetty.The Namibian Immigration officer stamped my entry/exit at the same time and told me that a vehicle was required to visit the small villages located in the interior of this island.Tourists usually did this and some stayed on the island..Finally at 1210 hrs was back from Namibia to Botswana,my shortest trip and shortest stay in another country.In less than a hour had travelled between two Countries.Got my entry into Botswana stamped at the " Boat Jetty Immigration Counter" and could join "Braggers Rights Club" of having travelled between two different country's in a span of less than a hour. Unless you are in a large group having private transport or pre-hired a taxi or a trekking hobbyist or just a intention for "Braggers Rights Club" admission its worth visiting this desert Island.

We stayed at Ichingo Lodge and their manager very kindly gave us a tour of the island and took us to see the new bridge being built between Botswana and Namibia - we walked for about 5kms in the bush and learnt a lot about the Island and its people. The next morning he showed us their Health Centre and School and then we visit the 2000 year plus Baobab Tree which was incredible. Definitely worth visiting the island to see the tree.

If you want to understand the concept of 'taking control of borders' then this is the trip for you. Boat from hotel to office, fill in emigration form, get passport stamped, back in boat, travel further downstream to another office on the Namibian side, fill in immigration form, get passport stamped. walk 1km to village look around maybe buy a souvenir then reverse procedure with offices, passports and stamping. All inside 2 hours. Good to see and authentic village and talk to our Namibian guide about local customs and way of life. Mud huts in the main, some with satellite dishes! Worth doing once.

ボツワナのカサネから日帰りでボートで訪れました。この島は、、、、、素朴。この島のロッジを拠点にしてサファリをするにはいい場所かもしれません。が、島を徒歩で回った限り、樹齢6000年の大きなバオバブの木以外は特に何もありませんでした。人々が電気がない素朴な暮らしをしているのを見るにはいいかもしれません。
カサネのイミグレーションオフィスからこの島まで乗り合いボートが出ています。あくまでImpalila Islandの地元の人の買い出しのために運航されています。もし時間がないならカサネからならばボートをチャーターするか、日帰りツアーに参加することをおすすめします。川をすっとばしてくボートライドはとても気持ち良かったです。必ず出入国手続きはお忘れなく。

Impalila Island was amazing. Cruises on Zambezi & Chobe were perfect! It is in a perfect setting to view birds, the Chobe NP coast & to stop for lunch at The Raft!

Der Ausflug auf Impalila Island. Dort haben wir einen ca. 2000 Jahre altten Baum ein Einheimischen Dorf und die Flora und Fauna bewundert. Die Insel liegt zwischen Sambesi River im Norden und Chobe River im Süden. Die Insel gehöt auch schon zu Namibia, wir mussten also durch die Passkontrolle bei der Einreise und bei der Abreise.

Die Insel liegt mitten im Chobe Nationalpark. Wer die Anreise über Botswana nicht scheut sollte in jedem Fall den Weg hierher suchen und finden. Sehr zu empfehlen ist die Unterkunft Zovu Elephant Lodge. Bei Peter erfährt man alles zum Chobe Nationalpark und dessen Tierwelt. Er ist der Crocodile Dundee Namibias. Die Touren mit dem Boot zu den Tieren sind einmalig und unvergesslich. Die Insel gehört ins Standardprogramm des Caprivi Streifen.

An island on the eastern tip of Namibia. About 12km in length and 6km in width. It has about 30 villages and an airport. You will see a 2000 year old baobab tree. A risky climb up the tree and when you reach the top, you can see the point in the river where Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia meet. The locals are very friendly. Their living is very simple...mud huts, subsistence farming, schools and little shops.

Hi, I can only speak for the Kaza Lodge where we stayed. We were with a Tour Company, but I know that Kaza Safari Lodge provides their own transportation from Kasane immigration building. It was a lovely lodge & the tours they provided were well worth it. I can't provide a link, but you can google it for more info.

Hallo.
I intend to go to Victoria falls and Impala Island looks like a day trip return in one day? Is that so?
Where did you travel from Zimbabwe or Zambia?
Where was the crossing?
Did you have a guide and if so in which country did you pick him up?
Any details gratefully received.
Regards
Chris

Dear Chris,
It would be hard to do in one day from Vic Falls, you have numerous ways to travel, either by road on either the Zim or the Zambian side, but you have to go through a few border posts to get to Impalila island and therefore it is time consuming.
There are ways to get to Kasane from either Zimbabwe or Zambia - the quick option would be to hop on a small aircraft which would take about 20 minutes to get to Kasane, you would get picked up and taken to the river where you would go through another border checkpost before getting onto a boat which would take you to Impalila island, you would check into Nambia before heading to the lodge.
The ferry crossing is from Zambia into Botswana over the Zambezi, that is very time consuming.
I am in the aviation / tourism industry and have a host of guides either in Zimbabwe, Zambia or Botswana. If you are flying to the falls, my suggestion is ... let the guide meet you at the falls, after your few days there, let him take you by road to Kasane and then visit Impalila island for a few days after which he can either take you back to Victoria Falls or you can fly out from Kasane.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for further information on guides and assistance in any of the countries, or booking your small charter flight I would be only too pleased to assist you, at no charge. Helping a fellow traveler out.
