Great Image Expedition is excellence personified offering the highest caliber safari experience!
BIG FIVE EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED ABOVE AND BEYOND
My husband and I just had an adventure of a lifetime while on safari with Godlistern from Great Image Expeditions. This experience was exceptional and we are extremely grateful! Godlistern was a marvellous guide who brilliantly conducted our tour through the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation and Tarangire National Park. He is unbelievably knowledgeable and has a laser sharp eye. In addition to having multiple opportunities to see lions, buffaloes, leopards, elephants and rhinoceroses, we also got to see zebras, hippos, giraffes, wildebeests, cheetahs, gazelles, secretary birds, flamingos, ostriches and a plethora of other birds and animals. We had the privilege of learning about their diet, mating, instinct and other critical behaviors as we intimately observed them. We witnessed maternal cub interactions such as a cheetah mother teaching her two cubs to hunt. We saw a lioness feeding on her wildebeest prey. We were also fortunate to see many different species of animals all converge at Crater Lake and Tarangire River to hydrate and cool down. We got to watch so many spectacular things and none of that would have been possible without Godlistern's expert skill and Mbeche's superb driving. It was an outstanding safari, absolutely 5 stars!!!

Tanzania
I am the huda of Morocco. I love trips and traveled all over the continents. Last August 2022, I traveled to Tanzania. It was a dream come true, especially with the wonderful company. From the time we arrived at Arusha airport, we found Youssef waiting for us, he made sure we reached the hotel. I am grateful to him for helping us with all the details, from tips and advice on places for tourist visits and activities to restaurants. ..... located in Arusha The next day he came with the tour guide goodluck who will accompany us for the next four days. For me and my husband, it was a trip we will never forget. .
The tour guide was a calm and understanding person who told us about the nature of wildlife wherever we went. We are guaranteed accommodation every time we move to a more beautiful place than the one before it. He does not leave an opportunity to meet the rare animals unless he takes us to see them, as for the cleanliness and the arrangement was at the required level. I would also like to thank the cook who always smiles. He cooked it the best. Thank you for this beautiful wedding. Travel success is linked to the people we get to know

5 star service and great communications throughout. Tanja is a delight to work with.
After 2 years of postponements due to Covid etc, we finally got to do our trip of a lifetime in Botswana and South Africa. We had a truly unforgettable trip with fantastic game sightings throughout and all of the lodges were just perfect. The whole thing went like clockwork, it was so well organised. Tanja's expertise, efficiency and communications throughout the planning were outstanding and we even got to meet her in person mid-trip which was an added bonus. Her attention to detail and understanding of our needs and concerns was first rate and the information pack we received on arrival was detailed and helped us throughout the trip. It was a long trip and so we probably won't be back for some time but we know that at some point the bush will be calling us back and when that happens we'll be straight back in touch with Tanja. In the meantime we'll be boring everyone with our amazing stories of game sightings and will be recommending anyone who wants to experience it for themselves to get in touch with Tanja.

Very good agency, perfect value for money
Very good agency, good communication, fair prices (they also accept euros instead of dollars), everything is included in the price. The food was very tasty and in good quantities, the car was comfortable, the tents are nice (it’s big and you can stand up in it). Serengeti and Ngorongoro camp sites are super, the one in Mto Wa Mbu is not so nice (you are in a garden of the city) but they are working on it. It is all well organized. Also, they offer you the transfer to airport, even if you don’t leave right after the safari but few days after, which is very appreciated !
The only reco I can do is for pillows, you should ask people to keep their pillowcase (or to have different colors as for the sleeping bags) so it doesn’t get mixed between people.
I do recommend Suricata Safari ! Very good value for money.

Once a lifetime experience
When we arrived, our guide Alex and the boss took us to buy communication card sim and took care to stay with us while buying all we need. We have booked the 5 days private Safari in Lodges with all the parcs Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. The hotels booked by the Safari agency were great, especially the Eileen’s Tree Inn and the Serengeti Heritage Luxury Hôtel.
Alex was a great guide, he did his best for us to see amazing animals. He was respectful of the rules of the parcs, and was a good driver, we felt safe with him taking the wheel.
The only negative point was the lunch boxes that were very basics, cold, and with the same chicken as every day. It’s too bad that we weren’t asked to choose the range of lunch boxe we wanted, as we saw other groups having fresh prepared hot meals.
However the experience was perfect, the 4 parcs are all different from one another, so I advise everyone to do the complete 4 parcs.

Great experience
Moses and his team helped us organize our Chimpanzee Permits last minute and was a huge help to the process. The system at UWA had changed but with his help we were able to see the chimps!
Thank you Moses and the team for helping us while we were in Uganda!

Fascinating, Beatiful and Friendly
We booked a 6 day safari for the family with Jocky Tours and then 5 days at the Flamboyant B&B in Diani Beach. The safari was excellent and Solomon our guide was a super-interesting and insightful person. He enriched our experience immeasurably.
Kenya is vibrant, different (for us Europeans) and very beautiful. We were there during the elections which added to our concerns before we travelled. In fact, passing through towns (in between Game Parks), was great and there was a lot of life on the streets and planty of very noisy trucks playing music and shouting slogans.
The people were universally friendly - however note that we didn't spend much time in the cities or in places off the tourist trail. I would love to explore more given more time.
The parks (Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Nakuru) were all excellent in their own way. We saw so much wildlife and, just as importantly, were able to get a strong feeling for what an exceptional environment the African bush and savannah are. Take your time to stop and just experience the silence and openness.
The Indian ocean was also wonderful - despite rain on some days. Our stay was super-relaxed and we couldn’t have been happier with the location and the people.
Kenya is a great destination.
