Great holidays organized by a professional office
Realization of stay in absolute compliance with previous plans. Discreet control by the operator allowed for optimal rest and complete satisfaction with the stay. if you think about a professionally organized holiday Mali Kale Africa Safaris seems to be the right choice.

Outstanding Service & Support
Had a no problems with communicating with Richard, his replies were always very speedy and helpful, and all hotel transfers were organised. On the first day of the safari we met with Isaack, or driver and guide, and thought we were going off to pick up others for the tour, but found out we were on a private safari. So pleased!
Isaack was perfect as a guide, so knowledgeable, and such a good driver. On the few occasions we weren't the first to a see something, he guided the 4x4 into the ultimate position.
He always checked to see if we were satisfied - and we couldn't have been more so. Food boxes for lunches were provided by the hotel / lodges (which were an absolute treat - arranged through Richard).
We visited Manyara, Ngorogoro & Tarangire parks in our 3 days - an experience of a lifetime.
Thank you Richard & Isaack - it couldn't have been better.

Wonderful 3 day tour
Richard took us on a wonderful 3 day tour around NgoroNgoro, Manyara and Tangarire . He has been in the business for many years and is very knowledgeable about his home area. He struck a perfect balance between helpful, knowledgeable and discreet.
When we organized our safari, I was somewhat reluctant to pay the full amount of the safari up through a wire transfer, but he was very accomodating and in the end we did not regret one second booking with Mali Kale for their great professionalism and great prices.
Thanks again Richard !
Dream Trip Realized!
An amazing adventure and a dream trip realized! Thanks to our local tour guide Richard and Mali Kale African Safaris. We got to see and experience everything we hoped for.
We were impressed with the prompt responses to our email questions and Mali Kale Safaris customized every part of our safari experience based on our schedule and budget. All the details were taken care of (from lodging, dining, and transport to tours of the amazing parks, animals, and culture). Richard was knowledgeable, thoughtful, accommodating, and professional. A top-notch tour guide, a wonderful host and now our friend. Mali Kale African Safaris exceeded our expectations and gave us a memorable trip of a life time that we will always treasure
Richard is the MOST careful driver we have ever had.
We asked Richard to be our driver and guide. We have had many Safari experiences in several countries, and Richard is the best driver we have ever had. He slowed down for the many pot holes and ditches we drove through during our 14 day Safari. Over the years we have had many drivers and some have gone so fast over bumps that we were bounded out of our seats and hit our heads on the roof of the vehicle! We truly appreciated Richard's driving skills and the care he took to make sure we were comfortable.
We saw many areas of Tanzania, and our favorites were:
- Balloon ride over the Serengeti
- Tarangire National Park for the MANY elephants there. We took tons of photos and videos of elephants close to our vehicle (Tarangire park has tsetse flies, so take good bug repellant)
- Ngorongoro Crater is amazing for seeing almost every species of animal in one day. If I only had one day for a Safari, I would go to Ngorongoro
We also went to Lake Victoria, but it was a long drive to get there, and we felt it wasn't worth the travel. We enjoyed our boat ride on the lake and seeing the local fishermen, but it is not a place to see any wild game, and is not as set up for the tourists.

Excellent Safari with Richard as our driver and guide
We, party of 4, travelled twice with Richard as our guide and driver. In 2014 and 2015! I can strongly recommend him and his Safari !
Everything worked out well, he was always on time, always caring about our well being and comfort, we had excellent sightings and good hotels. Tanzania has a lot to offer and we really enjoyed both trips a lot!
