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.

Kenya Safari Arcade booked my flights and accommodation when I visited Kenya from Abuja.
Everything was dealt with very efficiently and with the minimum of fuss. We didn't go on a safari tour, just booked a trip to Samburu and a week later went to Diani. Everything went very well and worked out perfectly.

striiking experience
During 3 days and one night, myself and other six guys went to Massai Mara. The experience was absolute incredible. Accomodation was in Rhino Tourist Tented Camp, good option, clean, nice food, gentle staff... our driver Isaac knew very well the area and his knowledge about the park helped us in order to ejoy the trip.

Decent experience
The Safari experience was good in general. We got to see the big five. Our driver was very experienced and know what he was doing. The accommodation was basic but acceptable. The landscape of the safari is absolutely stunning! The visit to the local masai village was wonderful.

Good timely and enjoyable trip
The guide in the safari tour to Masai Mara was knowledgeable about the place. Stay in Masai Mara camp could be improved as there was no electricity throughout the night. Reached back Nairobi safely and on time. Nice journey.

Good but not exceptional experience.
The communications were good, the service also. All the people in the camp were very kind. However, I could not help being a little bit disappointed by the safari tours, due to a relative scarcity of animals, especially the lack of lions.

Awesome experience at Masai Mara and Amboseli
I had my awesome safari in Kenya with this company and I enjoyed from airport transfer to the days in the wild. I had an awesome driver guide who had knowledge about the animals and attractions. This company made my visit to Kenya enjoyable and worthy.

The experience was adventurous and knowledgeable
Koochi Adventures handles my safaris with promptness and it was such an adventure touring Masaai Mara with them. The staff are well informed and it was great to learn a lot I didn't know about my own country. I would recommend them to any traveller out there planning their safaris to Masaai Mara.

Very well worth it. The tour guide and the cook were the best. Please ask for Sam and Kevin
I saw any animal and every animal possible. Sam picked me up and I give it to James the owner, he made sure that Sam was at the airport and Sam took me along for the trip. Sam was very informative and James explained the trip.
Sam made sure that he did everything to get me to the places that I needed to go. He was cordial, polite and helpful. He knew the feeding hours and we saw it all. Sam was amazing.
Kevin was a great cook. Loved the food. Loved the hospitality. Wonderful.
The coordination was a little rough. We were told that we would start on the 1st early and arrive back in the evening on the 3rd. However, we lost a half a day picking up another couple at the airport. We also had to have them back at the airport at 1430 so I lost nearly a half a day on the tour. Furthermore, it takes about 1.5 hours to get into each park. The paperwork should have been completed sooner to accommodate the trip.
I would definitely recommend the tour. The tour guide was a little rushed, but did all he could to ensure a phenomenal trip. If they work out those details it will be great.
Also, bring a flashlight and some sweats. The first site was 7 degrees Celsius and I nearly wasn't prepared.
