Experience Tanzania

Book an unforgettable safari with Great Image Expedition in Tanzania, home to some of the world’s most renowned safari destinations.

For many years, safari has a way of life in Tanzania, a country renowned for its world-class game parks. The Serengeti draws visitors from around the globe, eager to witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration. Nearby, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area boasts an extraordinary array of predators. Further south, Ruaha National Park offers untamed, exhilarating game viewing in a breathtaking landscape. Complementing these experiences are the exotic island of Zanzibar, Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the lush, jungle-clad shores of Lake Victoria, making Tanzania one of the most vibrant and diverse countries in Africa.

Why Experience Tanzania ?

Luxurious and secluded wilderness retreats.

Great Image Expedition operates Safaris across Tanzania, such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Tarangire, Ruaha, and Nyerere National Parks. Our packages offer exceptional game viewing, unmatched hospitality, and a variety of activities to ensure a fully immersive safari experience.

Combine a safari adventure with a relaxing beach holiday.

The tropical beaches, turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs of Zanzibar Island offer a stark contrast to the safari experience. Affordable and brief internal flights make it easy and budget-friendly to extend your safari adventure with some beachside relaxation.

Experience the awe-inspiring Great Wildebeest Migration.

Every year, two million wildebeest and zebra travel 1800 miles from Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area, through the Serengeti into Kenya's Maasai Mara, and back again. It's hailed as the greatest wildlife show on earth.

Incorporate Kenya into your travel plans effortlessly.

Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara are contiguous and travel between the two protected areas is straightforward with fly-in itineraries. Flying eliminates the need for long road transfers, meaning you spend more time on safari!

Enjoy outstanding game viewing throughout the entire year.

The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area boast some of the most abundant wildlife viewing opportunities on the continent, largely due to the phenomenon of the Great Migration. Coupled with the expansive savanna plains and temperate climate, wildlife observation remains exceptional throughout the year, including during the green season.

Explore the wonders of the Ngorongoro Crater.

The Ngorongoro Crater boasts some of the most abundant wildlife sightings on the continent. Its mineral-rich floor, carpeted with nourishing grass, forms an idyllic habitat for a diverse array of herbivores and carnivores alike. Beyond the confines of the crater, the conservation area grants access to other natural wonders such as the Empakaai Crater and Olmoti volcano.

Experience Tanzania Destinations

Travelling encompasses more than merely the destinations you explore; it embraces encounters with people, interactions with wildlife, immersion in history, and the thrill of embarking on novel experiences. With the Great Image Expedition, you’ll traverse by car, foot, boat, or air, unveiling a plethora of new encounters and discoveries.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a must-visit destination in Tanzania. It boasts the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, formed some 2 to 3 million years ago. Spanning 30,000 hectares, the crater is home to approximately 25,000 large animals, including lions, black rhinos, elephants, and giraffes, offering an unparalleled safari experience. Its UNESCO World Heritage Site designation and listing as an International Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere Reserve Programme reflect the harmonious coexistence between wildlife and humans within the area.

Highlights:

The Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders, offers some of the continent’s richest wildlife viewing.
From December to March, the Great Migration brings wildebeest to the southern Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area for calving season.
Hike the Olmoti volcano, visit flamingos at Empakaai Crater Lake or explore Maasai culture in a Ngorongoro village.
The conservation area encompasses archaeological and palaeontological sites at Oldupai Gorge and early human footprints found at Alaitole in the Ngarusi region.

Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti hosts the world’s largest concentration of wildlife and is the stage for one of Earth’s most incredible spectacles – the Great Migration. Over a million wildebeest embark on an ancient route searching for grazing pastures and water. Their journey takes them across Kenya’s Masai Mara, south into Tanzania’s Serengeti, and towards the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater before circling clockwise back to the Masai Mara. Along the way, thousands fall prey to predators while thousands more are born, replenishing their numbers and sustaining the circle of life.

Highlights:

The Serengeti hosts the Great Migration from December to October each year, where 1.5 million wildebeest traverse the plains. The herds gather in the south between December and March for the calving season. From July to October, they head north, culminating in the dramatic Mara River crossing.
Apart from the awe-inspiring migration herds, the Serengeti draws visitors seeking encounters with the iconic Big 5 – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes. Additionally, it’s a hotspot for observing other apex predators like cheetahs, spotted hyenas, and wild dogs.
The Serengeti offers more than game drives; visitors can also enjoy a range of activities, like walking safaris and hot air balloon flights.

Tarangire National Park

In Northern Tanzania, Tarangire National Park is a serene oasis renowned for its enchanting elephant migration, vibrant birdlife, and tranquil safari ambience. This seasonal gem, particularly vibrant from July to October, offers a distinctive safari experience, perfect for wildlife enthusiasts seeking an authentic encounter with nature. Elephants, a hallmark of Tarangire, grace the landscape year-round, ensuring unforgettable sightings. Moreover, the park’s verdant swamps host an impressive array of 550 bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers, boasting the highest concentration of breeding species in a single habitat globally.

Highlights:

This wildlife haven boasts massive elephant herds (up to 300 strong!) and thriving populations of buffalo, lions, and leopards.
Tarangire National Park transforms into a haven for mammals during the dry season, boasting the highest concentration in Tanzania.
Tarangire isn’t just about classic game drives. Explore the savannah on foot, uncovering the fascinating world of smaller creatures and learning the art of animal tracking. For a truly breathtaking experience, take a dawn hot-air balloon ride and witness the park awaken from above.

Ruaha National Park

Ruaha National Park boasts an untouched wilderness, blending superb wildlife sightings with breathtaking vistas. Its pristine ecosystem offers a more intimate and genuine safari experience than the bustling Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Vital lifelines like the Great Ruaha River and the Mwagusi, Jongomero, and Mzombe Rivers sustain wildlife through the dry spells. Creatures like Waterbuck, impala, and Grant’s gazelle brave the journey for water, navigating the problematic banks where lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, and the elusive African wild dogs wait.

Highlights:

Ruaha National Park offers exceptional wildlife sightings with few visitors. It’s a vital lion conservation area, hosting over 20 prides.
Other predators include endangered wild dogs, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and jackals.
The park boasts 570 bird species, including the iconic Ruaha red-billed hornbill. During the rainy season, migrants from Europe, Asia, Australia, and Madagascar enrich its biodiversity.

Nyerere National Park

Nyerere National Park, situated in southern Tanzania, was formerly part of the expansive Selous Game Reserve. Encompassing a vast area of 54,600 square kilometers since 1940, it gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1982. In 2019, approximately 30,000 square kilometers were redefined and renamed Nyerere National Park, paying homage to Tanzania’s inaugural president, Julius Nyerere, renowned for his conservation efforts. Second only to Namib Park in Namibia in size, this park epitomizes wilderness and remoteness. Its rivers and lakes, vital lifelines, teem with an incredible array of wildlife, boasting Africa’s largest populations of elephants and wild dogs.

Highlights:

Larger than Switzerland and featuring only a few small camps, Nyerere National Park in southern Tanzania offers travelers a truly exclusive and wild safari experience.
The park is a haven for wildlife, housing over 50 percent of the continent’s remaining endangered African wild dogs.
Visitors can also encounter buffalo, giraffes, elands, hyenas, sable antelopes, hippos, crocodiles, kudus, baboons, wildebeests, zebras, impalas, hartebeests, and both black-and-white colobus and vervet monkeys. Rare sightings might include black rhinos, Nyasa wildebeests, sable antelopes, elands, and Lichtenstein’s hartebeests.
Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled with over 400 recorded species, including the elusive Pel’s fishing owl.

Rubondo Island National Park

Rubondo Island, located in Lake Victoria, is Africa’s largest island national park, stretching 26 kilometres long and 10 kilometres wide. Covered 80% by dense tropical forest, it serves as a sanctuary for diverse wildlife. Birdwatchers will find over 400 species of resident and migratory birds. The island’s forests are home to elephants and giraffes, while sitatunga antelope inhabit the papyrus swamps, and crocodiles and hippos reside in the lake. The opportunity for chimpanzee trekking, along with the island’s remoteness and exclusivity, makes Rubondo a highly desirable safari destination.

Highlights:

The island, largely uninhabited except for a few park wardens, wildlife researchers, and camp staff, serves as a sanctuary for endangered animals.
Rescued chimpanzees were introduced in the late 1960s, and following an extensive habituation program, visitors can now observe them up close.
Visitors can also encounter buffalo, giraffes, elands, hyenas, sable antelopes, hippos, crocodiles, kudus, baboons, wildebeests, zebras, impalas, hartebeests, and both black-and-white colobus and vervet monkeys. Rare sightings might include black rhinos, Nyasa wildebeests, sable antelopes, elands, and Lichtenstein’s hartebeests.

 Verified Great Image Expedition is the best local talent Great Image Expedition isn’t just another tour company, it’s what a Tanzania experience should be. What makes them stand out is their local connection. They use local guides and experts who actually know Tanzania, its people, its wildlife, and its culture. That local knowledge creates experiences you simply can’t get from a company operating from the outside. From incredible safari moments to authentic cultural experiences, every detail felt personal, genuine, and thoughtfully planned. Their team didn’t just show us Tanzania, they connected us to Tanzania. If you want luxury, adventure, authenticity, and experiences that go beyond the typical tourist itinerary, Great Image Expedition is the company to book.

  We were referred to Great Image Expeditions through our photographer when we were planning our elopement, and unfortunately, while parts of our experience were amazing, our overall experience with the company has been extremely disappointing. Our safari was fantastic, and Humphrey was absolutely incredible. He made the experience memorable, and the accommodations were also great. Unfortunately, our experience with the company itself has been a completely different story. We have been trying to get money that is owed to us from Raymond for almost two months now. What should have been a simple matter has turned into an exhausting cycle of excuses, delays, and what feels like being given the runaround. We have repeatedly been told different things and are still waiting for the money we are owed. That experience has really overshadowed what should have been an amazing overall trip. If I knew then what I know now about climbing Kilimanjaro, I would choose a different company. There are companies that offer better amenities and, based on our experience, a much better overall customer experience. I’m disappointed because we had such an incredible experience with Humphrey on safari, which makes the way the financial issue has been handled even more frustrating. I hope Raymond eventually makes this right, but after almost two months of excuses and games, it has become difficult to have any confidence in the company.

 Verified Exceptional Service from Start to Finish We went to Tanzania for our honeymoon, and Raymond from Great Image Expedition made the entire experience so easy. He planned our whole trip and took care of every detail, so we could simply enjoy it. For our safari, we were with Humpher, whose knowledge, experience, and passion made the adventure truly unforgettable. We learned so much and had an incredible time. We had an amazing experience with Great Image Expedition from start to finish and couldn’t recommend them more!

 Verified Must visit tribe in Tanzania Anyone who visits Tanzania should visit Hadzabe tribe to at least get a glimpse of what life should have been for the hunter gatherers during human evolution. We took this trip as a part of our tour package with Serengeti Wakanda tour operator. I will break down the experience to elaborate better. 1. Start early - Since we visited a true nomadic group, our guide asked us to go as early as possible before the men leave on hunts. We left Ngorongoro park by 5;50 AM and reached the tribe around 9:30 AM (we stopped in the jungle before visiting the tribe and had a packed breakfast). 2. Road - Once you leave the main road, then you are in the real bush. Since there is very less traffic to visit these tribes, the jungle tract to get to the tribe is very rough. 3. Guide - We had to pickup a local guide since our guide George from Serengeti Wekanda tours did not speak Hadzabe language. This guide Gunan is from a tribe called Datoga who trade with Hadzabe. You should visit that tribe as well and will write about Datoga tribe separately. Gunan the Datoga guide spoke the best English out of all the folks I met in Tanzania. He is a very young man, very knowledgeable about the tribes. Get Gunan if you plan to visit Hadzabe tribe. 4. Hadzabe tribe - From what I heard from Gunan, the Hadzabe population is around 700. The group we visited had about 30+. They had moved to this location only two days ago. Their tents were still getting built by the time we visited. The wood and other plant parts were still getting fixed. They have an interesting language that has click sounds interspersed with normal words. First we met the males who had done a hunt of a warthog the day before. They showed the different arrows for different animals. The poison laced arrows and the arrows for monkeys were quite interesting. All of the metal arrow heads were made by Datoga tribe. Once the men told us how they hunt, then we met the women and the kids. They did a tribal dance there. 5. Hunting with the Hadzabe - we were told that they will take us on a hunt which may take about two hours. Since we had to get back to catch our flights we only went with them to shoot some arrows in their training place. However, I think it may not be real to do a hunt in two hours. It may be to give some excitement to the visitors. Hadzabe have long hunts that takes 2-3 days where they go to hunt big animals. The shorter hunts for tourists may be only to get Baboons or smaller animals in the close by areas. 6. Giving money - Though they maintain a hunter gatherer lifestyle, they all ask for money. You should give the money to the ladies and ask them to share with the group. We did the mistake of giving to men and then the women came. Gunan the guide later said that we should have given to women. They actually need the money to buy arrowheads from Datoga tribe who are the blacksmiths. 7. Time to spend - We spent about 45 minutes there. The drive to the tribe is what consumes most of the time. Overall, it was a great experience.
