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.

Really great Safari
We really enjoyed our first Safari, it truly was an once-in-a-lifetime-experience. Thom has an excellent knowledge about wildlife animals and lots of fun facts about the nature and also an impressive eyesight! He‘s patient and his company is reliable and professional.

A crazy and unforgettable experience
I really liked the trips in the jeep with Tom, our guide - driver, who was very kind, always in a good mood and with a sense of humor and always knows how to answer any question related to nature and the behavior of the animals.
Every day we left early in the morning in order to see as much of nature as possible before the sun went down, and the accommodations we arrived at each evening were of a very high standard with excellent service and very good food.

Great experience with Thom from Great Escapes
Absolutely wonderful experience and respectful contact with nature. Thom is an exceptional guide, both for his kindness, friendliness and availability and for his preparation and professionalism. His knowledge of the territory, of the animals and their habits, of local receptivity, of the cultures encountered is essential to be able to enjoy this experience fully and in complete safety. During our tour he managed to make us meet giraffes (one day we were in the middle of a herd of 17 giraffes!), zebras (herds of hundreds), wildebeests (we witnessed about 5,000 specimens crossing the Mara river), lions (we also witnessed the hunting of a jackal by two lionesses), hippos, rhinos, various antelopes, elephants, baboons and monkeys, etc... at each encounter Thom helped us interpret their movements and behaviors in the herd, greatly enriching the experience. I recommend letting Thom design the tour, because he knows where the animals are when you are planning to go. Also ask for help with international flights. We didn't do both things and, after meeting Thom, we know that we could have trusted him with both things, and made planning our trip much easier. 150% recommended

The Best Best Tour with the best guide Thom
We had a very fantastic experience of the safari tour with the excellent tour guide, Thom!
When we contacted this tour operator at the first time, Thom’s react was very fast and correct. We felt this operator very reliable, then we decided to request the tour.
During the tour, Thom’s hospitality was very good. He was very kind, his preparation was perfect, his explanation was always helpful for us to understand.
We could see everything what we want, such as the big migration, lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos and so on.
Accommodation was also very nice, meals was very nice.
I strongly recommend this tour operator with Thom to everybody who is looking for the best tour.
