This picture sits at the head of our home page on the Impala website and it occurred to me that it would be interesting for all of you to know – Why, Where and What are the clients doing, while I enjoy sitting on top of this 200m high dune.

First of all why? Well I love adventure mixed with some exciting challenges, so on our routes, wherever they may be, my eyes are always searching for some part of the beautiful awesome landscapes that we travel through for that extra something, a something that will enthral our clients when they enjoy an adventure with me and my support teams.

Then Where! In the south of Morocco between the villages of Mhamid El Gezlane and Foum Zguid and stretching away from the mountains called Jebel Bani is Lac Iriki. Lac Iriki is as you would deduce from its name, a lake. Well it was a lake a long time ago when North Africa was a lot wetter than it is now. In the middle of this old dry lake the ever present desert wind has very kindly blown a lot of eroded mountain into an area of dunes called Chegega. Here we find dune fields where some of the dunes are 200 meters high and I love it!!

And finally: What are the Impala clients doing while I enjoy sitting on top of this 200m high dune? They are all at the bottom “chafing at the bit” as they wait their turn to blast their off road chariots to the top of this dune. It is what we are about at Impala, giving our clients that extra challenge, that extra adrenalin rush as some of you reading this will have experienced!!
