An Unforgettable Adventure in Tanzania
My mom and I took a dream trip to Tanzania this September. We visited Arusha NP, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Natron. It was something we wanted to do for a while, and the trip turned out to be be better than we imagined!
From the very beginning, we were impressed by Thom, who handled all of our bookings and was very patient with us constantly modifying the itinerary. He was always very quick to respond - super grateful for that!
Our safari became a real adventure thank to our guide and driver Hans. He is a true professional, very punctual, attentive and knowledgeable. He looked after us all the time, and made us feel very safe (this was our first time in Africa). Thanks to his shar eye, we almost saw The Big Five (apart from rhino), as well as some animals we didn't even expect to see - hyenas, leopards and servals. We even witnessed lions on the hunt, as well as after the hunt with the prey right next to them. Seeing the migration of the wildebeest was truly breathtaking.
A huge thank you to Great Escape Trails and Hans for such an amazing trip., The atmosphere was always so positive, warm and fun. We made some unforgettable memories and would definitely recommend this agency for anyone looking for an unforgettable safari escape!

An Amazing First Trip to Tanzania
Our first time in Tanzania was unforgettable! With Thomas as our guide, we saw the Big Five in ten days. He speaks excellent English, is humorous, knowledgeable, and truly understands animal behavior. He always found the best spots for viewing and photography an outstanding safari experience. Highly recommended!

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.

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
