Great Escape Trails

Highly recommended!

We had an incredible 4-day safari experience in Tanzania, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Hans.

From the very beginning, Hans was professional, reliable, and exceptionally kind. He always explained our daily schedule, routes, and plans clearly in advance, which made us feel comfortable and well-prepared throughout the trip. Safari days often involved very long hours of driving, but Hans never complained or showed any sign of fatigue. Instead, he remained positive, patient, and encouraging the entire time.

One thing that impressed us the most was his punctuality. He was always waiting for us before the agreed meeting time, ready to start the day with a smile. He never overwhelmed us with unnecessary information, but instead shared exactly what we needed to know, along with fascinating stories about Tanzania, its culture, history, wildlife, and local life. Thanks to him, we learned so much more about Tanzania than we ever expected.

Hans is also an outstanding safari guide. Throughout the game drives, he constantly communicated with other guides via radio and worked incredibly hard to locate wildlife for us. Because of his dedication, we were able to see the Big Five as well as many other amazing animals from close range. It was obvious that he genuinely wanted us to have the best possible safari experience, and his passion for wildlife was evident every day.

His driving skills were excellent, and we always felt safe and comfortable, even on rough roads. From the hotel pickup to the final drop-off, every part of the journey was handled professionally and with great care.

What touched us most happened on the last day. We arrived in Arusha around 7:30 PM and realized that we did not have the exact location details for our Airbnb. Without hesitation, Hans personally contacted our Airbnb host, coordinated everything for us, and made sure we could check in smoothly and comfortably. This was far beyond his responsibilities as a safari guide, and we were deeply grateful for his kindness and willingness to help.

Hans is not only a fantastic guide but also a genuinely caring and trustworthy person. Thanks to him, our first safari in Tanzania became an unforgettable experience filled with incredible memories.

If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend asking for Hans as your guide. He truly made our trip special, and we cannot thank him enough.

Thank you, Hans, for everything. We will never forget this amazing adventure.
