We had an incredible and unique safari experience!
5/5

Our guide Thom was extremely knowledgeable—he knew everything about the animals and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife, even those we could barely see through our camera zoom. His sense of humor made the trip even more enjoyable; He is very cool and relaxed. Beyond wildlife, he was well-versed in culture and geopolitics, making every conversation insightful. He was also an exceptional driver—while many complain about long game drives being uncomfortable, we had no issues at all.
The accommodations booked were excellent, and the food was delicious throughout the trip. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend the agency. I doubt we could have anything better. Thank you very much Thom.

Thom can spot all of the animals!!
5/5

My husband and I had a 5 day safari with Thom, he is a great guide. He has the most spectacular eyesight, he saw animals long before we could spot them. We did not miss seeing any of the big 5. The Ndutu plains was the best safari I have ever been on, so many animals.
The accomodations and food were wonderful.

Communications with Great Escape Trails was on time and meaningful. If you are going to Tanzania to see the animals and meet the people, pick Great Escape Trails

Unforgettable
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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!!

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
5/5

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!
