An excellent weekend with Bramwel Safaris
We were a group of 15 people who went in safari with Bramwel safaris. We was very satisfied with our trip and felt like Bramwel Safari had a genuine wish to give us the best experience we could get. They made a program that was made out of our wishes, budget and our timelimit. They were available 24 hours the days we spent with the company. The food was good, the cars were comfortable and the guides made the weekend complete! Than you Bramwell for giving us a wonderful weekend, we will recommend Bramwel to everyone!
Unforgettable Experience
From first moment till the last one, unforgettable experience, great service with the help of our guide Fred. Thanks Bramwel...

Amazing!!!!
We used Bramwel to arrange for us a tailored safari in Tanzania and trek up Mt Kilmanjaro. It was an amazing experience and organised by William with an attentive and professional approach. I recommend and endorse Bramwel as a reputable and professional tour agency for other people interested in visiting East Africa. Our group were two mid-30s couples from Australia and we had a great time with all of our guides who explained a lot and made the whole trip awesome!

Experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend Bramwel
My friends and I recently visited Tanzania for work and decided to do a safari in the area. We were staying in Dar-Es-Salam. We did our research and given the time constraints, we decided to enjoy the Ngorongoro Crater. We made our own flight arrangements from Dar to Arusha. The rest was taken care of Bramwel. William is very responsive and on time with every additional bit of information we asked for. We requested to stay in the Sopa Lodges - Best decision ever.
On Sat morning - We flew from Dar to Arusha. Julius was waiting for us at the airport with packed lunch boxes. He was our tour guide for the trip. He was really engaging and made our experience very memorable. Our flight was delayed a little so we headed straight to the crater. The sopa lodge is a great place! Excellent service and really good food. We spent Sunday exploring the crater, all day long. We drove to Serengeti on Monday with a stopover at the Masai village. We left crater Tuesday with a stop at the Lake Manyara and flight back to Dar on that day.
Overall it was a great trip. We will not trade anything out of this. We definitely recommend Bramwell and sure to use them again if we go on another trip.

They did what they said they would do THEN exceeded our expectations!
When we started interacting with Bramwel Safaris from Australia, it immediately felt we were dealing with a good friend. Their response to any questions whilst finalising our itinerary was consistently prompt and gave us a lot of confidence.
They exceeded our expectations, not just by what we saw, but how they went about it. Our guide was fabulous and every day showed so much care to ensure we maximised what we saw on each game drive, tried to minimise too much dust engulfing us and was not only very skilled in his knowledge of the wildlife but was very flexible to ensure we achieved our goals. We were also able to learn so much from him, including about the culture in Tanzania.
As enthusiastic photographers, we saw everything we hoped to see then some. For 3 hours we followed and watch enthralled as a cheetah searched for, stalked then successfully hunted for its next meal, just amazing.
Would happily recommend this company but more importantly, use them again.

Trip of a lifetime!
We came across this group through google as well as tripadvisor for it's ratings and reviews. When I travel, I rely heavily on word of mouth, Google search, trip advisor, travel sites (lonely planet, Conde Nast, fodor's, etc). Climbing Kilimanjaro has been on my bucket list for the last 4 years. So, it was important to me that I have a travel crew who is accommodating and flexible and professional. Bramwel Safari is just that. William helped us create a personalized itinerary with all the things we wanted to accomplish. First of all, we were interested in climbing the Lemosho route for Kilimanjaro. Secondly, I was amazed that we could get a personalized trip for such a reasonable price. William answered all of our questions leading up to the trip itself. We took care of our international flights to and from Tanzania while he handled all other transfers for us. In addition, we were interested in doing a safari after our climb and he was able to set us up with a detailed safari itinerary in the time we planned. Lastly, after the safari, we wanted some R&R in Zanzibar. And he easily arranged this for us as well. Now, this is all pre-trip. When it came time for the actual trip itself... Weather would prove difficult and we had a full day delay in Amsterdam. Yet, we kept William updated with our updated travel plans and he accommodated the changes to the start of our climb with ease. His professional demeanor is top notch. I can't say enough about him or his team at Bramwel Safaris. Originally, we were planning on doing an 8 day Lemosho route climb, however, given the travel delay... And our lost bags for another day... We quickly discussed options and his team took us on a waterfall hike (Materuni waterfall -- highly recommended) which was stunning to help pass the time while waiting for our bags. Finally our bags arrived and we were ready to start our climb. We met with our climbing team (Mussa-guide, Abu-assist guide and porters) and after they deemed us "fit" we decided on a 6 day Lemosho climb with overnight stay in the Crater. It was incredible. Every step of the way, Mussa and Abu made sure we were feeling well.
After our climb, William stayed in contact with us in starting our safari. We opted for a 3 day safari and we couldn't be happier. Our driver Elly is incredibly knowledgeable and led us to all the sights for the animals. We located the Big 5 and then some!
Our Zanzibar flights were arranged by William and he took care of all the details. Basically, we're getting a car to discover the island as well as snorkeling and doing a tour.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the flexibility, personalization, and professional demeanor of Bramwel Safaris. Because of this outstanding company, we had an incredible trip that went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you a million times over!!

Bramwel safaris, the company that lead by exemple.
this company only goal
Is to make sure that you entire day and all experiences are safe, properly meet and an unforgettable experience. They are trust worthy, fairly priced and honest. When going half way around the world where you dont know anybody. I never write reviews, but they are this good.

stunning, trustful and affordable journey
This company is a local company. It mattered to me to get through a local one and not through another European swindler that would only make profit on the back of people of Tanzania for the same thing.
An outstanding quality of service and sense of taking care of the customer. Flexible company able to make up all kind of safaris according to one another's expectations (from the camping to the super luxury lodges, anytime from the reception of the program, anywhere in Tanzania with the possibility to get whatever you want to be happy,...).
They know how to analyze people. The guide, the cook and the director were always here for me to make sure that I had a safe journey and make my dream come to life. You have the possibility, as I did, to stay with the locals and have lunch, diner with them (they appreciate a lot and they share even more : Real priceless extra experience though) or just isolate and relax quietly. You feel like being a spoiled king with all the unspeakable landscapes, meadows, animals etc. For the rest, please go ahead, take a flight ticket to Arusha and then William will take care of you. You will have the same result for at least 30% less than a jumbo international company.
By my side, next time I do a safari I will for sure context them again wherever I am.
Thank you Bramwel really.

Amazing safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We had booked our 6 day safari with Bramwel safaris about a year in advance and they took care of everything for us. William was always there to help us plan out our safari because our dates were not flexible, reaching Bramwle by email or telephone is very simple and the staff are really helpful.
Our port of arrival and departure was Nairobi airport in Kenya and Bramwel were so kind to arrange for our transportation to Arusha and our safari guide Gideon and William were at the bus stop in Arusha at 8 in the evening waiting for us to take us to our hotel for the night and we were in for a big surprise as we were alone on our safari and this was a bonus for our honeymoon.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and all the Sopa Lodges booked by Bramwel were exclusive and gorgeous hotels, with wifi services also.
Gideon, our tour guide was very keen on our experience within the Serengeti and was well informed about the animals and very enthusiastic to show us the beauty of the plains of Africa.
After 6 days of an unforgettable experience, I must say that Bramwel left us with a very good taste of Tanzania and with an appetite for coming back to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro for another nourishing adventure.
I recommend Bramwel to anyone wanting to visit Tanzania.

Fantastic Safari with Bramwell - Highly recommend!
I went on a three-day/two-night safari with two friends to Tarangire National Park, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara with Bramwell Safaris. We overnighted at Sun Bright Campsite both nights which is located just a few minutes from the entrance to Lake Manyara National Park. Our driver and guide, Mark, was excellent, funny, had 10 years of experience and was happy to oblige our requests as to our movements in the national parks. The land cruiser vehicle was very comfortable, didn't break down at all and even had outlets so we could recharge our mobiles and cameras if the batteries ran low. Our cook, Josephat, was an absolutely lovely man and I ate extremely well under his care. I was very impressed with his dishes despite not having a real kitchen at his disposal. William, our safari agent, was very friendly and professional. He replied to emails very quickly and followed-up with us throughout the trip to make sure everything was going well (he even picked us up from the bus station when we arrived in Arusha and made sure we made it to our next destination safely). I thought the trip was great value for money (we had researched quotes from 6+ different safari tour operators and Bramwell came back with the best quote) and we saw a lot of animals, I felt safe the entire time, I ate really well and slept like a baby! I will definitely recommend Bramwell to family and friends when they consider safaris to Tanzania.
