Unforgettable
We left Italy with so many expectations and so much enthusiasm and nothing of what we experienced disappointed us, indeed in many moments our heart was full of joy and emotion, as far as I'm concerned my eyes were often shiny, at times it seemed unreal as incredible as it was. We saw all the Big Five, an incalculable amount of lions and elephants, and even though we were afraid of not being able to see them, 9 black rhinos. Scenes of hunting, mating, resting, everything that usually fascinates you when watching a documentary we experienced it, we were surrounded by it every day. Fantastic!!! The organization was almost always perfect, but Alen, our guide was fantastic. We spent 9 days with him and in addition to being a prepared guide, he always had the answer in his pocket, we met a special, kind, thoughtful and discreet person. We return home with indelible memories and a new friend.. Alen gave us experiences beyond what he was supposed to do and if this experience was WONDERFUL it is above all thanks to him! Ask for Alen if you want a guide who speaks perfect Italian. Bravo BRO', keep it up! Fabio & Manu

One in a lifetime experience
We had a wonderful tour with Thom. We cruised through the parks for 9 days and got to know the country and its people. Thom has a very good feel for the animals and a lot of interesting information that he is happy to share. Otherwise he is a nice guy. The accommodations were all top notch.

9 days Safari experience
We just finished a 9 day safari with Thom and it was an amazing experience. Thom helped us set up the trip to our liking at a reasonable price. We visited Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Serengeti, saw the great migration at Ndutu and the Ngorongoro Crater. Thom is very nice and funny and has a great eye for spotting all kinds of animals. 100% recommendable.

Incredible, nothing but good things to say
We just finished a private 5-day safari with Great Escape Trails and I have nothing but good things to say. We saw countless animals, often from just a few feet away (the lions and baby elephants were my favourite); the guide, Thom, was extremely knowledgeable, personable (and funny), and accommodating; the “bush camps” we stayed at were nicer/fancier than many hotels I’ve stayed in; the staff at the camps were fantastic, and the food was amazing. To say the experience exceeded our expectations is an understatement. Plus, as an added bonus, Great Escape Trails is a small, Tanzania-based company, which is exactly what we wanted, as we wanted to support a local business. 10/10, highly recommend.

THE BEST SAFARI EVER
THE BEST SAFARI!!
It was a unique and unforgettable experience. Every day we had encounters with the animals, the accommodation and the organization of the Safari was without a doubt the best! Our guide Thom was very attentive and always tried to make this trip the best experience. I would repeat it a thousand times!!

It was truly perfect!
I think is the best traveling experience I have ever had! I’m so glad I made it with Great Escape Trails: amazing guide, the hotels were so good (looked way better than the pictures), the places we visited were amazing and the food was so good!! No complaint at all. Will definitely repeat this safari with them!

Long awaited trip to Tanzania national parks
We had an excellent trip and we were really impressed with variety of animals and nature. The guise did a lot to show different points of view of the impressive parts. The timing also was perfect and we were always on time in all of parks and stops. The guide seemed to be much experienced and we thought he knows all of the trails by heart so we didn't have a challenge to see rare species of animals and nature.
We are so thankful to have such experience visiting the most popular national parks in Africa!

Clear communication, you get what you expect
We had requested a few quotes online and great escape was one of the first to respond with a good offer. Communication went fine. The trip itself was wonderfull. Via the somewhat desolate lake natron area we went to the northern serengeti where we witnessed quite a large crossing, we further completed the safari via serengeti and ngorongoro. Guide was quick on the radio and with finding animals, lodges were as expected and good places to stay. Would recommend the organisation based on our trip.

Our unforgettable experience!!
For me and my partner, it was the first safari of our lives. What can I say-it exceeded our expectations. We will never forget all the wonder we saw, places, animals, people and most of all we will never forget our guide Thom who came into our hearts. It was a beautiful trip to experience 4 days of safari with him, he knew everything about the animals and always made sure to make us happy, to take the best position to see the animals even when there were a thousand Jeeps in front of us. There is not a single thing we did not like about this safari. The food was always plenty and delicious, the accommodations were wonderful, sleeping in the Serengeti is something we will never forget. I have to recommend Great Escape Trail to everyone, and I will do so with my friends and family as well, because they were perfect in everything: on time (they picked us up at 2 a.m. at the airport), reliable, always kind and helpful with any questions we had. I also recommend it for the incredible value for money, what made me choose this company after I had asked for many other quotes. But to this day I would choose them again because of the incredible experience they gave us. My partner and I thank Thom again for making our trip special and unforgettable.
