MOUNT KILIMANJARO
In July 2019 he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain peak in Africa, replicating a feat achieved by his mother. "I'm one of those guys who can't sit still for too long, so a group of friends and myself decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. My mother climbed the mountain with six friends, and ever since, I've had a the feeling of wanting to do it as well."

NAME
His first name 'Impi' is a Zulu name with origins in the Boer War. "It originates from the Anglo-Boer War, with my grandfather's great-grandfather. The Boer and the English had a peace agreement, but the English went and used the Zulus to attack the Boer. When my grandfather's great-grandfather's first son was born, they named him Impi, to remind the English of what they did that evening. I also have two cousins named Impi, and my grandfather's name was Impi." (The Dan Nicholl Show YouTube channel, 24 Jun 2019)
