The trip was perfect! Would recommend! - An amazing trip. Our guide Joshua was very komf and very friendly, he had an amazing knowledge of the wild animals. He drove us to see the migration and he drove us wherever we wanted and stopped for the smallest things as birds. Joshua was kind and friendly and talked with us about menu things. He also has a very good eye to see animals. Some hyenas hiding on a very long distance and he saw them. We got to see so many things with Joshua as our guide. We saw 1 Leopard, 6 cheetahs (2 brothers, and 1 mother with three cubs) we also saw 2 rhinos 40 elephants and 25 lions (3 big males, 2 cubs and 20 females) we saw a big pride of lions eating with ca 18 lions. We also got to see a lioness try to hunt. The migration Joshua showed us was amazing and we also saw some chacals following the zebras. The luxury matawe camp were so nice, the chief made very good food and we could hear lions rawing and hyenas howling. The rooms were very good with an amazing staff. They had a very good energy especially when my little brother had his birthday there, they sang songs and had a cool show with dance, song and cake. The hadzabe tribe is something you won’t miss, they took good care of us and showed us their culture, we went on hunting with them and they were good at letting us also try. Overall an amazing trip and we will miss Joshua very much.

Had the most unforgettable experience! - Going to a completely new country and wanting to experience something special was going to be difficult. Nope. Raymond from Great Image took care of everything. He gave us the best experience. After a long safari and tribe visits, I can call him not only a friend but a brother. The man is genuine and he goes out of the way for you. We got so lucky finding him. I would recommend everyone to him.
