4 Days Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater

Unforgettable safari experience

We had an amazing experience with The Great Escape from start to finish. Even before our trip, the booking process was smooth and easy. The team was always available, responded quickly to every question, and made us feel confident and well-prepared. A special thank you to our guide, Hans. He was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely passionate about making our safari unforgettable. He did everything he could to make sure we saw as many animals as possible, and his knowledge and enthusiasm made every game drive exciting. More than just a guide, he felt like part of our group, and we never felt like we were with a stranger. Thank you, The Great Escape, for an unforgettable safari experience. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized and truly memorable adventure!

Response from the operator: Thank you very much we appreciate for your Safari feedback. We happy to hear we have made your trip memorable. Thank you for choosing us.

A reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring guide who made our Tanzanian safari unforgettable.

Our 4-day, 3-night safari with Great Escape Trails was an amazing experience, and our guide Hans played a huge part in making it so memorable. Every morning, he arrived with a clean vehicle, made sure our hotel lunch boxes were loaded, and always prepared enough drinking water for the day. During the game drives, he had an incredible ability to spot wildlife quickly and always found the best viewing positions, giving us plenty of time to enjoy and photograph the animals. What impressed us even more was his enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge. He helped us identify animals using our East African wildlife guidebook and patiently explained their habits and characteristics, making every sighting even more meaningful. At the end of our trip, knowing that we were nervous about traveling on our own, he even took us to the bus station and helped us buy our tickets. That extra kindness and responsibility went far beyond what we expected from a guide. Thank you, Hans, for all your help and for making this safari such a wonderful experience. If we come back to Africa in the future, we would definitely choose Hans as our guide again. Highly recommended!

Response from the operator: Hello Thank you for good feedback Our team is very happy that hear we have exceeded your expectation. It was great to host you and show you around our beautiful country

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Highly recommended!

We had an incredible 4-day safari experience in Tanzania, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Hans. From the very beginning, Hans was professional, reliable, and exceptionally kind. He always explained our daily schedule, routes, and plans clearly in advance, which made us feel comfortable and well-prepared throughout the trip. Safari days often involved very long hours of driving, but Hans never complained or showed any sign of fatigue. Instead, he remained positive, patient, and encouraging the entire time. One thing that impressed us the most was his punctuality. He was always waiting for us before the agreed meeting time, ready to start the day with a smile. He never overwhelmed us with unnecessary information, but instead shared exactly what we needed to know, along with fascinating stories about Tanzania, its culture, history, wildlife, and local life. Thanks to him, we learned so much more about Tanzania than we ever expected. Hans is also an outstanding safari guide. Throughout the game drives, he constantly communicated with other guides via radio and worked incredibly hard to locate wildlife for us. Because of his dedication, we were able to see the Big Five as well as many other amazing animals from close range. It was obvious that he genuinely wanted us to have the best possible safari experience, and his passion for wildlife was evident every day. His driving skills were excellent, and we always felt safe and comfortable, even on rough roads. From the hotel pickup to the final drop-off, every part of the journey was handled professionally and with great care. What touched us most happened on the last day. We arrived in Arusha around 7:30 PM and realized that we did not have the exact location details for our Airbnb. Without hesitation, Hans personally contacted our Airbnb host, coordinated everything for us, and made sure we could check in smoothly and comfortably. This was far beyond his responsibilities as a safari guide, and we were deeply grateful for his kindness and willingness to help. Hans is not only a fantastic guide but also a genuinely caring and trustworthy person. Thanks to him, our first safari in Tanzania became an unforgettable experience filled with incredible memories. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend asking for Hans as your guide. He truly made our trip special, and we cannot thank him enough. Thank you, Hans, for everything. We will never forget this amazing adventure.

Response from the operator: Dear Seunghee, Thank you for your safari feedback we really appreciate. Our team is dedicated to meet your expectations and exceeding. We thanks for choosing Great Escape Trails Tanzania. Asante sana

An 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.

An amazing safari, got to see all the animals we wished for. Great escape travel is a really good company, easy and good communication with Thom the owner. Our guide was great, good knowledge about the national parks and really gentle. The lodges were fine.
