Extraordinary
Communications were excellent. We were staying with friends in suburbs outside Dar and they were able to communicate with our friends and pick us up at his home.
Service? There is no way to describe it. By example is better. My daughter became very sick with fever the first day. Our friend is a doctor and at end of the day he contacted us and told us to get penicillin. Our guide told us it would be easy to get and that he would do so and return to our room later. Some time passed and I assumed he was unable to get it. Much later he knocked on the door with the medication. The pharmacy was closed. He then inquired with the park rangers and they tracked down the pharmacist. They picked up the pharmacist and he reopened the store. They then drove him home and returned to us with the medication for my daughter. Enough said.
The safari tour was just as incredible. We were lucky to see animals doing what they do rather than just lying around and this was clearly do to the experience of our guide Sahid. He was a delight. We laughed most of the day as we were mesmerized by the animals and his stories.
The camp was a level 3 facility and the staff was wonderful. Waking up at 5 a.m. to the growls of the lions was exciting. They seemed to be only a few yards away from our room. We dared not walk outside without the guard of our Massai Michael. We felt absolutely safe in his company.
Mikumi Park is a gem. We were almost alone and would go back. I intend to return and see the northern parks that hold so much of the romance of Hollywood and adventure books but there is a great advantage to the southern parks. There were six people at our camp facility on other tours. The park was ours!
I suspect that when I return, I will not travel with anyone else and certainly not without Sahid. Enjoy!!!!!!!

Tanzania Tour January 2015
Where do I start? So much to do, so much to see and overall so much to experience but unfortunately not enough time. Everything was well planned and our driver was an absolute star. We toured the 4 famous national parks on the Northern circuit and look forward to coming back next year to experience the infamous Southern circuit which we will without a doubt arrange with Safari hub.

Gorilla Tracking Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
Gatatu Safari, especially Richard, gave us an unbelievable experience!
Everything was perfectly organised! We could call and reach Richard at any time. He even picked us up from the Rwanda-Uganda border and drove us around after the Tracking for free (e.g. we could visit Lake Bunyonyi or the market in Kabale). He is very nice and obliging. I can fully recommend Gatatu Safari! It is a small company and there "the customer is king" ;)

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!!

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.
