Great Image Expedition: Redefining Bespoke Luxury & Photography Safaris in Tanzania

When you think of a dream safari in Tanzania, what comes to mind? Endless golden plains of the Serengeti, the misty rim of Ngorongoro Crater, or the towering silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro? For travelers seeking to experience East Africa in its purest, most exclusive form, Great Image Expedition (GIE) stands out as one of Tanzania’s premier luxury and photography safari specialists.
Founded in 2010 and proudly operating out of Arusha—Tanzania’s safari gateway—GIE has carved a niche for delivering custom-made safaris, immersive photo tours, Kilimanjaro climbs, and relaxing Zanzibar escapes, all designed with care, precision, and passion for authentic African experiences.
🌍 What Makes Great Image Expedition Unique?
1️⃣ Tailor-Made Private Safaris
Unlike off-the-shelf package tours, GIE builds each safari from scratch to match your interests, timeframe, and comfort level.
Every private safari unfolds in a modern Land Cruiser (models 2016–2023) custom-fitted with Wi-Fi, fridges for cool drinks, charging sockets for your devices, and onboard radio communication for seamless coordination in the bush.
You decide when the adventure starts—there’s no rigid departure schedule. Whether you want to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti, spot rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater, or track big cats in Tarangire, GIE’s itineraries prioritize privacy, flexibility, and unhurried exploration.

2️⃣ The Signature “Great Image Experience” – For Photographers
For wildlife and cultural photographers, GIE’s dedicated photography safaris are a serious step above the usual. Under their “Great Image Experience”, guests benefit from:
- Golden-hour game drives when light and wildlife are at their best.
- Professional photography guidance from expert local photo-guides.
- Cultural shoots that open doors to authentic village life.
- Optional hot air balloon flights over the Serengeti for breathtaking aerial shots.
Whether you’re a pro with thousands of shots under your belt or an enthusiastic hobbyist eager to up your game, these safaris are purpose-built for capturing East Africa’s raw beauty in vivid detail.

3️⃣ Kilimanjaro Climbs & Zanzibar Extensions
For those who crave adventure beyond the savannah, GIE designs multi-day Kilimanjaro treks on renowned routes like Machame and Marangu. Treks include highly experienced guides, robust safety measures, and authentic cultural interactions that enrich every step of the climb.
When the mountain is conquered, why not celebrate with a Zanzibar beach holiday? White sand, turquoise waters, spice farms, and historic Stone Town round out an itinerary that blends wild adventure with coastal bliss.
