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!!

Absolutely Amazing!
I had an amazing safari tour with my husband in July 2022 in Tanzania. Despite our flight being delayed for over an hour, it was not a problem at all as Justin was always available and reachable. Our driver, Salum, was fantastic! He accompanied us throughout the entire safari and was a wonderful person. When I urgently needed a hairbrush because I had forgotten mine, he even helped us find a store. The safari itself was truly unique, and we saw many incredible animals. We even encountered a herd of elephants crossing the road right in front of us. The guided tour through the forest was also breathtaking. There were waterfalls, springs where we swam, and scenic viewpoints. Visiting the Maasai people was an absolute highlight as we learned a lot and discovered many new things. After the safari, Salum brought us back to Tanzania and even arranged the ferry tickets for us. We then continued our vacation in Zanzibar. Overall, the safari was a 10/10, and I would highly recommend it to everyone! It was a wonderful adventure!!

Kenya is a magical place
I would highly recommend anyone take the time and opportunity to visit Kenya. The land is pristine, the wildlife goes without saying, and the people are genuinely hospitable and excited to welcome visitors. This was a first visit to the continent of Africa and to Kenya, so I had no idea what to expect. What I encountered were truly beautiful people who were eager to welcome, share their stories, share their culture, share their dreams, and share their concerns. The place and the people reminded me of how less can really be more. I was also struck by how embracing of nature the people are and how real the constant struggle between man and nature truly is. I would recommend to anyone to visit Kenya. My only regret was that we did not stay longer.

Experienced and attentive company. Very professional, experienced and friendly guide
Very pleasant experience that exceeded our expectations. An unforgettable 3-day Safari with our very organized, attentive guide Benni who always took the time even with a busy schedule.
We were able to see 31 different animals, including the big 5!! And yes we saw the rhino
Great experience!!
We had a 6 nights safari with Bahati International Tours and Safaris and we had a great time. We visited Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara Park (we made a really nice night safari!), Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
All the parks worth a visit: Tarangire for its spectacular landscapes, Lake Manyara for the forest, Serengeti for predators and its amazing and different landscapes, Ngorongoro because its unique and fascinating.
Bahati International Tours and Safaris was professional from our arrival until our departure. The choice of Lodges and Camping was perfect: we recommend in particular Tarangire Safari Lodge and Kati Kati camps (Tanganyika Wildeness camps).
The guide was friendly and helpful.
We say all the big 5, a family of Cheetah, lots of other animals. It was great!
I believe that Bahati International Tours and Safaris has the best arrangement in terms of Quality service, our safari in Tanzania with them was superb.

Great travel company to go through for an amazing vacation
An African Safari is a must do for any avid travelers. But doing it is not something that is easily done alone. We heard about Odyssey through a friend who had went recently. We considered a couple Safari companies and ended up going with Odyssey. The trip was well planned out and organized. We had an amazing time. We had one hiccup at the end of the trip where we were scheduled to sit in the DAR airport (if you call it that) for 7 hours. After some back and fourth, Odyssey was able to come up with a solution for us to stop at the Serena in DAR. Overall, we had an amazing trip and going through Odyssey was a big reason for that.

Smile!
Our Safari in South Africa with Wildlife Safari was interesting and well organised. Our guide/driver, Hoppy, picked us up at Joburg Airport and from there we set off on a 5-day itinerary. Our guide was always kind and helpful. The route is relatively demanding, because it still involves long daily journeys, but it allows you to see interesting and varied landscapes. We saw all the famous big 5, as well as numerous other animals present in abundance in the Kruger. The landscape, at least in this season (South African spring) is rather dry and this allows you to spot fauna more easily. Overall a positive experience, although decidedly different, in my opinion, from Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania, essentially due to the high number of tourists present in the park compared to these other realities. South Africa has a lot to offer, even on the human side. I found very smiling people
