The ultimate choice!
Sure, finding and choosing the right company for a safari is a tricky thing because there is a vast choice and a high number of mostly and reasonably good operators out there, and it isn't trivial to make pick from a distance, from home.
Well, I truly believe my choice couldn't have been any better!
I chose Great Escape Trials because of several reasons; and every detail turned out just great in reality, on spot!
Communication (with Issa) was just perfect - what a kind and responsive professional she is! The package put together fully met my expectations and I found the price to be fair when comparing it with other similar options I had.
And then the actual highlight - Tom, our driver and guide, stood out from the crowd. His (close to) 20 years of experience are truly visible, and it is clear that Great Escape Trials choses their staff carefully. Tom made things so wonderful, taking care of every aspect, driving well, super knowledgeable, and blessed with his eagle eyes that can spot animals (while you keep asking yourself "now how in the world could he see that from so far already"). Above all, he felt like a family member for those few days we had together!
Throughout our 5 days, my mother and I (family trip) had the most wonderful time watching tons of wild animals up-close, we stayed at wonderful lodges and hotels, and were taken care of by an incredibly great team.
If you hesitate on where to book your Safari, and if you're reading this review, I'd say you just found the right place.

Amazing experience. Highly recommend!!!
Going on a Safari has always beem my dream and doing it with this team was the best experience!!! I highly recommend the Lion King Adventures and Joseph.
Hubby and I chose the 5 day safari tour and it was just perfect! I fell in love with Serengeti. The experience of sleeping in a lodge inside Serengeti for the night was amazing as you can enjoy the day much more.
Joseph, our guide throughout the trip, was the very best! He answered all our questions and taught us a lot about the animals, the parks, the culture and the language. He is also an amazing photographer. We became his favourite mzungus for sure

Incredible safari
This safari exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were some of the best and most unique we have ever stayed in. Our guide Jasan was very knowledgeable about not just animals, but the cities we were visiting, the culture, and almost any question we asked. He was able to find time for us to stop at the Masai Mara village on the way back. Jasan was a fantastic driver. We saw a number of other vehicles that broke down or stuck in the mud, but Jasan always kept us safe and operational.
There wasn’t a single animal that we didn’t see on this trip. We saw the big 5 and some.
One of the best vacation experiences we have ever had. HIGHLY recommend.

Smart and great
Great journey starting with planning a fantastic tour to Uganda by DIAMIR Erlebnisreisen Germany und Speke Uganda Holidays while feeling comfortable with the program, especially the Chimpanzee and Mountain Gorilla tracking. All over awesome impressions to the wildlife, nature und culture of Uganda, the tour guide supported exceptionally our trip.

Absolutely excellent to work with for our last-minute safari/lodging booking! 100% recommend!
I contacted the Kruger Safari Co. one day prior for a last minute safari booking for 3 people since our plans had changed and we had three days off during a business trip to Pretoria. We knew we had to get to Kruger to see the animals and but we had done relatively little research since it was a hasty trip. Thankfully we reached out to the right booking agency who was able to ask the right questions about what we preferred! We had an incredible 3-day safari with excellent guides (Mylord and Maas) who enabled us to see the "Big 5", accommodations, and amazing prepared meals. The communication back and forth was first class, there were several ways to pay, and they followed up with us during our excursion and even days after we left to ensure we had a phenomenal time in Kruger and made it back to the United States safely! I cant recommend The Kruger Safari Company enough to anyone who is looking to book a safari of a lifetime!

A wonderful excellent trip much better as expected!
I had some headaches without a German tour operator to book our safari independently. Deposit and balance went smoothly with James via pesa link and credit card, and James travel promises were all kept in full. Our driver Tuja was concerned about our well-being 24/7, he made clear arrangements and everything worked smoothly. We saw Big5 and much more and afterwards during our beach holiday on the Indian Ocean we booked more smaller excursions via James. ( Mombasa city tour etc.).
Price performance ratio fits. Lodges were well chosen and better than we expected. It may be that there are better and more comfortable equipped cars, but we were driven safely, no risky driving maneuvers and that wants to be skillful in Kenya. Thanks for that wonderfull time to Tuja and James, and we will contact you again next time for any new trip within beautiful coutry.
Give you the best experience for beginning to end
my boyfriend and i did a four day tour with suricates! we loved every minute of it. from start to finish everything was great. thanks to our guide rocky we have seen the most beautiful animals and thanks to the cook salim we had a delicious meal every day. we had lunch with a hot fresh meal while giraffes walk by! this is an experience we will never forget! each park is special and has its own highlights. we will definitely come back and book with suricata again
