A Wonderful Tanzania Safari
We had 3 days before and 1 day after our hike up Kilimanjaro to take a safari. So we contacted Bramwel Safaris a couple of months before our scheduled arrival in Tanzania in order to arrange a safari. From the very beginning, William Bramwel, the owner of Bramwel Safaris, was prompt and responsive to our many email inquiries. He made many suggestions and modifications to our itinerary in order to accommodate our interests and time limitations. He did a superb job. He arranged to have us picked up at Kilimanjaro International Airport the evening of our arrival and transported to our overnight accommodations at Karama Lodge in Arusha. The next morning, William personally met us at Karama Lodge to welcome us, answer questions, and go over our safari plans. He let us know if we had any questions or concerns during our safari, to feel free to contact him. He also introduced us to Denis, our driver. During our safari, we visited Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Arusha Park. Denis, was great. His language skills are excellent. He made sure that we were enjoying our safari and that we had many opportunities to see the diverse animal populations residing in the parks. We never felt rushed and had unlimited opportunities to take photographs. Both William and Denis were also very willing to share their vast knowledge of the local cultures and languages. Our trip included a visit to a Maasai village where we were experienced Maasai dance and music. Our evening accommodations during the safaris were excellent. We stayed at the Maramboi Tented Camp and Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge were we enjoyed great evening views and dining. We will always be thankful to William and Denis for making our Tanzania adventure a truly wonderful and memorable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend contacting William at Bramwel Safari if you are looking for a Tanzanian safari of a lifetime.

Turned out great despite hiccups
My husband and I booked our 7-night safari through Bramwel after receiving a prompt and charming proposal to our online request. Since it was out first time to Tanzania (we had been to Africa before, and on Safari in Kenya), we asked a few questions before confirming and paying. Although the trip ended well and we had the friendly and professional Freddy as our guide, it wasn't without several early hiccups including delayed airport pick up, grubby car, not meeting our tour guide until the first camp, hotel booking not found at the first camp, having to pay $840 at the Serengeti National Park gate (despite transferring the full amount 3 weeks in advance of our arrival. The amount was of course refunded to us in Arusha on our way back out), the cool box in the Land Cruiser not working, etc. Having said that, the rest of the trip was amazing, the experience highly memorable, we got to see the big five and more. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, professional and really passionate about showing us the best sights and he salvaged our initial disappointments and concerns.

16 day northern circuit, Selous and Zanzibar
Absolutely brilliant ! .William was very knowledgable and excellent to deal with, answering all my questions in a timely manner which made us feel so comfortable booking from Australia. Was also very accommodating with all the alterations we requested to fit our ever changing plans. Accommodation at African Tulip (Arusha), Maramboi ( Tarangire), Kati Kati (Serengeti), Sopa Ngorogoro, Lake Manze Camp (Selous) and Z hotel (Zanzibar) were all excellent and highly recommended. Thanks to Raymond our guide in Ngorogoro/Serengeti/Tarangire, you were fantastic and made our trip extremely enjoyable and memorable. Great job Bramwel Safaris.

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.

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.
