Really excellent Safari Operator
We were on a private 2 nights and 3 days safari at Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Parks with Professional Safari Africa. And our tour was just simply amazing. Our tourguide (Anthony) was superinformative, really friendly, and extremely professional. Everything went as we agreed. The accomodation (Farm of Dreams Lodge) was extremely beautiful, comfortable and the staff were really friendly. We have allergy to gluten and were a bit afraid but both the Safari Operator and the Lodge take extreme care. It was 100 % worth its price. We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Memorable Safari experience in my life
This was a major vacation to plan and Wandera from Spirit of Uganda made it easy. He was so patient with our requests and planned the perfect safari trip down to each minute detail. Everything from the time we were picked up in Kampala went off without a hitch. I really learnt alot of wonderful information about Queen Elizabeth. A great driver (can't recall his name) was so experienced. We had some unusually heavy nighttime rains which caused muddy and very hard to navigate roads. The driver always got us through them and kept us safe. He was so intuitive finding the animals and we saw everything. Also very informative and gave and taught us such valuable information!! All of our accomodations were lovely and we enjoyed them all for various reasons. Tiago was good at giving us a variety of places to stay! Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations were great. We had a great birthday party at our first camp to celebrate my friend's birthday that will probably be her most memorable birthday ever. Everything about this trip was perfection!

The Most Amazing Adventure
This trip to Tanzania was my top bucket list thing to do. Safari has always been my dream vacation.
Pendo was awesome to deal with from the start of my planning this vacation. She responded quickly to any questions I had. She made changes when I requested them. She gave us an amazing 2 week itinerary! We started with 2 nights in Arusha doing a city tour. Followed by an amazing 6 day safari, ending with 6 days in Zanzibar.
Our guide for the city tour and safari was Goodluck. And we will all tell you he was definitely Good luck for us. We had the most amazing experiences with the animals. We saw the Big 5 and the migration. Day one in Taranagire had us surrounded by elephants. Goodluck found us a tree with 6 lions in it, with another 2 on the ground.
We got stuck one morning after a night of heavy rainfall. Numerous other guides stopped to get us out. Goodluck returned the favour and helped out others that also got stuck that day. We arrived at one of our tented camps one evening and noticed some empty tables. We questioned where the guests were. Good Luck enquired and found out that two safari vehicles were stuck in mud on there way to the accommodations. He and another guide went out in the darkness of the night to bring these guests in. He is a very caring person. He even stops to help out the dung Beatles trying to cross the road
I highly recommend anyone wanting to book a safari to contact Pendo to organize it, and request Goodluck for your guide!

Always reliable
Tanzania is always great and I was happy to reconnect with my old friend and host Amos this time going for the ultimate prize - Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route.
Amos and his team did not disappoint, he arranged for perfect guides: Epa and Joseph who took the best care of us.
Getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro was much harder than we expected and I believe the crew of guides and porters made all the difference between success and failure.
Nothing can replace the presence of an experienced guide at your side, whose duty is to keep you going, safe, nourished, healthy and also much more than just a friend.
I know that the level of involvement during the planning phase and actual is huge because nothing took us by chance.
Thank you Amos and the whole Migration Ventures team!

One of the best trips of my life
What is not to love, when you are on safari an amazing guide like Thomas, experiencing some of the best wildlife encounters and beautiful nature scenes and then retiring to great lodges nestled in African bush.
We had an amazing five days in Tanzania steered by Thomas our host. He spared nothing to ensure that we were comfortable while on the road and also got to see wild animals. We encountered lions, ostriches, jackals, warthogs, elephants, antelopes, giraffes, crocodiles, wildebeest and very many different birds. (We are birding enthusiasts and were very happy that Thomas is well informed on the various species and travels with a book on birds in his jeep)
I am happy to say that our trip only had pleasant surprises, like the bottle of wine, roses, chocolates and cake on my birthday!!!!
I recommend Great Escape Trails with no reservations!

One of the happiest people you will ever meet!
Kikitu is amazing! He is friendly, welcoming, kind and accommodating. He went over and above to make us feel special. I'm feel very sad that I have to leave Kenya because Kikitu made Kenya feel like home. What a special safari! I will remember it forever! Thank you for choosing Kikitu as our tour guide he was fabulous! Godbless you all.

Loved it!
The safari was the best thing I've ever done. On the first day alone, we saw the big 5! The accomodation that we had arranged was so cool, there were hippos right outside the river next to our accomodation. I cannot wait to go back! We spent four days on the safari, and even though we saw a lot we wish we could have stayed longer. Our guide, Josphat was amazing. We learnt a lot from him and want to thank him again for an amazing trip. Price was high; but competitive compared to others.
