Everything went smoothly and all the people we met were great and service minded!
The communication around booking and under safari was satisfactory. The service level was good and all the people we communicated with or med were very nice and helpful. Our guide was very experienced and we had a fantastic time on safari drives. The camp was also better than expected. Our tent was nice and clean, and very functional. The staff at the camp were very pleasant and service minded. All in all - we had a fantastic time!

A good experience
I was fully satisfied from their service and didn't experience any disappointment with them. Especially performance of masai tour guide (Logolie) was very impressive. What i see as a "black point" in kilometers ahead, he recognized that it is a "rhino" or "buffalo"
Excellent safari choice day trip to Terengere National park withMali Kale Africa Safaris
We booked our day trip online, everthing went fine, Richard greeted us day before and introduce with driver and give us breef about the trip. The next day we kick off, sharp at 6am in big safari jeep, they collected lunch on the way which was by the way delicious. After 2+h we arrived at NP. The driver was exscelent carring, and had good eye to spot anymals in the park. He realy put effort and we have seen enough of diferent animals for that day, maybe we were lucky as I am most of the time, so this time as well:). Just joking bit, great choice and I would use them again and highly recomend to people who search for safari company.

Serengeti and Ngorongoro
We took tour from Mali Kale. It was the best experience i’ve ever had! Thanks to Richard for organising everything in a perfect way and to our lovely driver and guide Masai Nogo for the great animal experience, driving nicely and carefully. And of course can not forget Dr. Nelson for the delicious food. We did Serengeti and Ngorongoro with them. Highly recommend it!!

Amazing safari - just perfect
After some online research we found Mali Kale Africa Safari's as a tour operator for our 7 day Tanzania-Northern-Circuit-Safari. We got in contact with Richard (the owner of the tour company). He replied very fast to our first email and answered all our questions... and we had a lot of questions in the upcoming months. He always gave us a very good feeling and we had confidence in him very fast. So we decided to book our tour with Mali Kale Africa Safari's.
I was the best decision we made. The safari (Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Eyasi) and the cultural tourism (visit of maasai, hadzabe and datoga) resulted to be perfectly organized by Richard. He was always prepared (permits, lodges, etc.), so we did not loose time to wait for permits at the entrance gates of the national parks.
During our game drives Richard always did his very best to get the most amazing animal encounters for us. It was not just good or very good, it was even better, because Richard is a person who goes always an extra mile for you. Therefore we had so many special moments and we had a time which was even better than we hoped or expected before.
What we can also mention: Every morning when we entered the jeep it was cleaned from inside and outside. When Richard dropped us around 6/6.30pm at our lodge he managed to clean the car and the windows and to refill the fridge with bottled water. So everything was always clean and ready to go in the morning.
Resumee: We can highly recommend Richard as a tour guide. He has the experience of more than 20 years as a guide. So he has a large knowledge about the animals and the sites (where to find them) and knows so many people around in the biz. If you want to have a very good organized safari, then go with Richard/Mali Kale Africa Safari's. It's such an amazing experience. Even after being back at home we are still flashed about our Tanzania holidays.

A week with the best eyes of the bush ;-)
We have spent an incredible week visiting the National Parks of Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha with our guide Richard Thomas Boniventure.
We have greatly valued his thorough knowledge of the area, his accute sense of observation and his highly reliable driving. He has always given us all the time we wished to admire the species we had already taken pictures of so many times !
Aside from all the animals we have seen, the highlights of our safari were the chance to get a very close look to a cheeta and to see a leopard go down from a tree after having been waked by the distant noise of our vehicule during his nap. The incredible starry sky we have seen at Ruaha is another wonderful memory.
The journey from one park to the other has given us the opportunity to discover beautiful landscapes and to get an idea the local population's life. The lodges where we stayed (Selous Kingalodge, Vuma Hills, Ruaha River Lodge) is everything one can dream of.
We can warmly recommend Richard's services and wish to thank him once again for his excellent job.
We had an amazing time on safari with Richard that exceeded our expectations in every way!
Richard Bonaventure provided my wife and I with an experience of a lifetime. We spent a full week with Richard visiting the Serengetti, Ngorongoro Crater and 2 other National parks. Richard planned and executed the entire trip to perfection! He communicated the plan for each day the evening before and we were able to customize the experience to our personal preference. His knowledge of where to go in each of the parks to best see the animals throughout the day showed his experience and his commitment to our enjoyment. He is extremely well organized and a great planner and driver! Richard was tireless in seeking out superior viewing and photographic opportunities for us. He answered any questions we asked about the animals, landscape, culture, politics, religion and lifestyle of the areas we visited. We have travelled quite extensively and Richard stands out as one of the best guides we have ever dealt with. We highly recommend a safari wth Richard!
