Incredible and unforgettable journey
We joined on the 8-Day Epic Great Migrations Wildlife Safari with Great Escape Trails in August 2025. It was an incredible and unforgettable journey.
First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our tour guide, Tom. He is fun, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. During the game drives, we spent a lot of time in the car, but Tom's talkative and entertaining nature made the transit times enjoyable. Throughout the 8-day journey, we travelled through various parks, endured rainy days in Serengeti, drove up hills in Ngorongoro, and even climbed over hills to reach Lake Natron. Tom's driving skills were exceptional, and despite my tendency to get carsick, I never felt ill. My friend even managed to sleep well during the transits. Most importantly, the journey was very safe. Heading to Tanzania and having Tom as our guide was truly fortunate. Tom has a keen eye for spotting animals and even birds. Thanks to him, we witnessed many precious moments, such as animal migrations, hunting, feeding, and playing around. Although seeing the migration is not guaranteed, I believe our good weather, luck, and Tom's efforts made it possible. We spent two days waiting for the migration, and just when we were about to give up, Tom's persistence paid off. On the third morning, before leaving Serengeti, we successfully witnessed the migration. I am grateful for his effort and determination!
Secondly, the arrangements were excellent. The parks we visited offered diverse wildlife experiences. I particularly enjoyed our time in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park. The food and accommodations met our expectations.
Lastly, the staff at Great Escape Trails were friendly and responsive to our inquiries. This was my first time booking a safari, and I feel fortunate to have chosen a great tour company and had the best tour guide ever.
professional operator
My wife and I chose a "great migration" safari with Great Escape Trails in August 2025, it was a very full itinerary and very well organised with great attention to detail. They were very easy to deal with, allowing us to add an extra night and always replying promptly as our arrival times changed due to airline rescheduling and to confirm any small detail. Our guide, Hans seemed to always have us in the right place at the right time for game sightings, all the big 5 and much, much more, we saw a river crossing of a small group of animals and a number of first sightings for us including cheetahs, snakes and a black rhino. Hans was always ready to explain things to us and help identify what we were seeing - a very likeable man to spend such a long time on the road with.
Absolutely Fabulous
Great Escape Trails are amazing. Right from when we first contacted Thom to find out about their Serengeti safari he was fantastic.
Thom was always quick to reply to any queries we had and when we decided to book with them the process was easy and straight forward.
Once on safari Thom was also great as our driver/guide. His ability to find the animals was amazing and his knowledge of them excellent.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5, even if the rhino's were via binoculars.
Thom knowledge of what we saw was great, no question he could not answer.
Accommodation throughout the tour was great, Rooms clean and comfortable and all with our own bathroom.
Food was great and really enjoyed out packed lunches each day.
It was great just being on safari wiht just our small group of 4 which allowed everyone to have a window seat each day.
Tour was great value for money and would highly recommend Great Escape Trails if you are looking at going to the Serengeti

Wonderful Safari
We had a wonderful time on our Safari, one day with Alex and 6 days with Hans. They were really knowledgeable and informative about everything we encountered. The lodging options were really wonderful as well, especially our nights in the North Serengeti.

Beyond expectations
This was a truly wonderful experience that went beyond anything we expected. Thom's careful guidance and incredible knowledge allowed us to spot all the animals on our wish list, plus some amazing surprises! We wholeheartedly recommend booking a trip with Thom – he's fluent in English, incredibly organized, always on time, and remarkably well-informed.
