Great Image Expedition  Reviews 22

We started with Tarangire National Park. Half an hour after entering the gate, the guide stopped the car and said, "Be quiet, there is something in front." Let's see what! A large group of elephants - with the whole family standing on the road. Tears welled up in my eyes; I had never seen so many animals in my life. We had a picnic that afternoon under a large baobab tree - the kids were playing, and we were washing our hands and eating. I felt like I was in a movie. Then it's time to visit Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara - every day is something new. The guide was so attentive that we felt like a family, not guests.

From the first moment after landing in Arusha, the Great Image Expedition welcomed us in such a way that this entire trip was arranged only for us. We were a new couple and wanted something a little romantic, exclusive, and memorable... and they gave us more than our dreams.
During these 12 days, we visited Tarangire, Lake Natron, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti. Each place was different and eye-catching, and every moment was perfectly planned - luxury lodges, candlelight dinners under the stars, and the commute from one place to another was hassle-free.

Bruno was a great guide. Not only was he knowledgeable and professional, but he also seemed to be a faithful friend. He perfectly understood when we needed a little personal time and when we needed to make the scene more memorable. We saw the Big Five, as well as how the cheetah hunts, and a giant elephant and giraffe, and one day we had a stunning bush breakfast, a moment that seemed different from the rest of the world.
The most important part of the trip was personal care. Raymond, who owns the company, was constantly looking to see if everything was okay. Somewhere we were welcomed with champagne, somewhere the room was decorated with romantic decorations - every day there was a new surprise waiting for us.

The trip to Lake Natron in particular is etched in our minds - the solitude, the thousands of flamingos in the lake's waters, and the kind of unspoiled beauty. It felt like we were out of this world.
More than a thousand pictures, we are back with some memories that deepen our bond. If anyone wants to experience such an exceptional and heartwarming honeymoon, I would recommend Raymond's company. You can book without any hesitation.

I contacted many big tour companies, but after talking to Great Image Expedition, I realized that they are different. There was no fuss or over-the-top hype, but a kind of sincerity and professionalism in their every word.

Raymond and this team wanted us not just to travel but to understand what we were looking for - adventure. The depth of nature? Are they people or cultures? Accordingly, they created a perfect experience for us.

Their guides are not only skilled but also act as people-friends on the ground and take care of everything like a perfect plan if needed. Although small changes are required, they are always flexible. The car, the accommodation, the food - everything was sparkling, and everything was taken care of.

What I like the most is that they are made up of local businesses - Tanzanians who are proud of their culture. They have not only shown the forest or the animals in our eyes but have also created a different love for this country in our hearts.

Traveling with them was like traveling with a group of soulmates. It was not just a safari; it was an immersion in the stories of nature and people with an open heart. For those looking for a true Tanzanian experience - for example, if you hope to touch hearts while traveling- the Great Image team can be your confidant.

We did 5 days Serengeti and then 6 days Pemba. Through Raymond as a tour operator everything was booked and we followed his advice and on the other hand he responded very well to our needs, for example we were able to play golf for 2 afternoons in Kili Golf, very nice. The tented camps in Serengeti were from the Asilia group and the quality was excellent - Raymond was also always with us during the Serengeti stay - he arranges and does the necessary so that you don't have to worry. Payment from Europe is done via a specific payment sits - it is not standard for us Europeans but everything was handled well. Thanks to him our trip was fantastic super job!!!

We booked a 5-day Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara safari, and it was one of the best travel experiences of our lives!

Tarangire National Park—The first day started, where I saw a lot of elephant, giraffes, and baobab trees. The next day we went to the Serengeti National Park, where we saw groups of lions, leopards, and hugs herds of buffaloes. The views of the Serengeti's vast meadows and sunsets are truly spectacular.

We arrive on the third day at Ngorongoro Crater, where we see an incredible amount of amount of animals in a huge volcanic crater—from black rhinos to giant buffalo herds! Our guide was extremely experienced and made every moment special.

We visit the Lake Manyara National Park on the last leg of the tour, where the lion on the tree and flocks of flamingos amaze us.

Everything was perfect—beautiful lodges, delicious food, and the extraordinary hospitality of professional guides. Great Image Expedition organized the entire tour perfectly.

Our luxury safari with Great Image Expedition in Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, every detail was impeccably curated, offering an unparalleled blend of adventure and indulgence.

The accommodations were lavish, offering the perfect mix of comfort and nature, while the game drives were both exhilarating and intimate. Expert guides ensured we witnessed Tanzania's most iconic wildlife, from lions to elephants, in their natural splendor.

The seamless service, exquisite dining, and thoughtful cultural experiences made this safari unforgettable. For anyone seeking a truly exclusive safari experience, Great Image Expedition sets the gold standard.

Our honeymoon in Tanzania was an unforgettable experience, and we owe much of it to the wonderful service provided by Great Image Expeditions. From the initial ideation and itinerary planning to booking and execution, every step was handled with professionalism, care, and a personal touch.

From our first contact, Galina helped us design our itinerary and fine-tune it according to our wishes and preferences. But her support didn’t stop there—throughout our journey, she regularly checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly and was always available to answer our questions. We felt we were in good hands every step of the way.

Then there was the agency's owner, Raymond, who greeted us warmly even before our safari began. Upon arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport, we realized that our airline had lost both our suitcases. While this was entirely outside the tour company’s responsibility, Raymond went above and beyond by following up with the airport, arranging for our luggage to be delivered as soon as possible, and helping us purchase some basic necessities in the meantime so we wouldn’t have to worry about our missing bags. Thanks to him, we were able to focus on enjoying our safari instead of stressing over the situation.

The highlight of our journey was undoubtedly our safari guide, Joseph. He is a living encyclopedia of Tanzania’s wildlife, landscapes, and ecosystems. Thanks to his keen eye, we witnessed remarkable scenes we would have otherwise missed. Additionally, he was an expert driver and navigator, effortlessly handling all types of terrain and weather conditions. Beyond that, he was simply a great person to spend time with. Spending a week on safari with him was an absolute privilege and made our experience all the more memorable.

Tanzania was a wonderful place to visit. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the people were incredibly kind and accommodating. The lodges were excellent, the food was always delicious, and our hotel resort in Zanzibar was fantastic. We were already missing Tanzania on our flight home and would love to visit again!

We cannot recommend Great Image Expeditions highly enough. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine care for their guests made our honeymoon a truly extraordinary experience. If you are considering a trip to Tanzania, we wholeheartedly encourage you to trust this team — you will not be disappointed.

After I contacted many safari companies from internet, only Raymond from Great Image Expedition met my expectations. He swiftly responded to any queries, was honest and suggested good solutions. My husband and I had decided to select the private 4 days safari tour which was great choice. Couldn't have had a greater experience. Everything was well organized, although they were flexible to our needs. We stayed in luxury tented camp Kubu Kubu in Serengeti and Serena Ngorogoro lodge. Both accomodations were outstanding. Our guide Godlistern Mathew was a superb guide, easy to be with, extremely friendly, helpful and able to spot animals at a distance. We learnt so much about the animals, Tanzania and the flora while with him. We were often the first, or within the first few trucks, to amazing wildlife action.
We surey recommand Great Image Expedition to anyone who wants to experience a Safari tour in Tanzania.

I recently had the privilege of going on a safari guided by Mathew and Mbechetero, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. they truly went above and beyond to ensure that our safari was not only safe but also incredibly enriching and enjoyable.
Mathew and Mbechetero demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and knowledge throughout the safari. they were able to identify various species of wildlife with ease and provided fascinating insights into their behaviors and habitats. His passion for wildlife conservation was evident in every aspect of the safari.
Thanks to Mathew and Mbechetero, we had numerous memorable experiences during our safari. Whether it was witnessing a lioness with her cubs, observing a herd of elephants at a watering hole, or marveling at the beauty of a sunset , every moment was truly magical.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are an exceptional guides, passionate about what they does, and it shines through in every aspect of their work. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari experience, they are the perfect choice.

One of the best experience we had with the greatest company of mathew and bechetero we saw a-lot of animals in rare scenarios thanks for their experience

I just concluded my Serengeti trip today. Saying that I enjoyed it is an understatement. It was a heartwarming experience. I saw the big5, several wildebeest crossings in the Mara river; a lion stalking and eating an antelope; hyena/vultures eating a carcass plus many more. This once in a life time experience will not be possible without a solid and professional team from Great Image Expedition. I’d like to thank Raymond, Bruno and Godlistern who took care of me through out my entire trip. They are friendly, professional and knowledgeable. To those who would be going to Tanzania, book your tour with Great Image. You will be in great hands.

If you're seeking the best safari adventure of your life, you should travel with Raymond and Bruno of Great Image Expeditions. Our experience was so beautiful that I cried tears of happiness and emotion when we left and took the plane from Serengeti to Arusha.
Our 7-day safari was nothing short of breathtaking, with landscapes and wildlife encounters that left us astonished. Every moment was a testament to the magnificence of the natural world (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Oduvai, Central, and North Serengeti).
From the very beginning, our safari experience was perfect. Raymond and Bruno's deep knowledge of the places we visited made this journey not only thrilling but also educational.
The wildlife encounters were the highlight of the safari. We saw elephants and giraffes walking through the grasslands, lions prowling in the shadows, cheetahs surrounding the car, and herds of wildebeest and zebras engaged in their great migration. Each moment spent observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat left us in awe of their beauty and grace.
The lodges where we stayed (all of them Lemalas) were nothing short of luxurious, offering a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in nature. Falling asleep to the distant sounds of animals and waking up to the symphony of birdsong was a surreal experience that rejuvenated the soul. The sunsets at the lodges were breathtaking.
The meals served at the lodges and during lunchtime (in the bushes) were full of flavorful and amazing dishes, and I didn't have any problems with my dietary restrictions. The night sky was striking. Dining under the stars while recounting the day's adventures with other travelers made the trip even more memorable.
Raymond and Bruno made our safari experience not merely a vacation but a transformative journey. Going on safari is an adventure like no other—an experience that will remain in your heart and mind long after you return home. The sights, sounds, and emotions it evokes are beyond words, making it unforgettable. If you want a remarkable safari, you need to book your trip with Great Image Expeditions.
Assante Sana, Raymond, and Bruno!

We had a fantastic and adventurous experience in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. Thanks a lot to Raymond for his wonderful organisation and Mohammad(Modi!) for his excellent knowledge of the parks and the wildlife in the parks. Mody never hesitated to go extra length so that we could have a best experience. The chosen accommodation in all three places provided top class facilities and safety deep inside the safari parks. All the food arrangements were very good. Modi took some wonderful binocular assisted photos of animals sighted in some distance! Zanzibar offered a completely different holiday experience in a massive beach front resort and Raymond made sure that we received wonderful transfer arrangements. A highly recommended company.

We used company for our safari and beach holidays. It was great experience from the starting point till the end of our holidays. Hospitality and communication was good. Accommodation was excellent , European standard middle of the jungle. Life time experiences with out any issues . Thank you Raymond, Mohameed, and Abubakarr 🙏🙏

We had the most amazing experience on our Safari. We saw every animal we wanted to, and our guides catered the tour to us and our interests. Bruno and Godlistern were amazing and gave us the best personalized experience that we could have hoped for. Raymond was promt in his responses to questions prior and during the trip. I would highly recommend using Great Image Expedition for your safari!

After a family visit we wanted to do a 5 days safari trip from Arusha. Great Image Expedition (Raymond) gave us an excellent advise based on our preferences and the time of year. Communication with the office was very good and clear. We did a short 5days trip from Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The booked housing was perfect and we saw more wildlife than we had expected. And best of all: Raymond provided us with an adventurous, pleasant guide, Godlistern who had excellent knowledge of nature and the animals. We simply had a great time! Thank you Raymond and Godlistern.

The experience with Raymond and his team was amazing, best experience in my life I highly recommend this agency, high professional and high luxury standards Thank you for everything
