They are serious, responsible, meticulous, enthusiastic, and their rigorous attitude towards work is admirable. They are a trustworthy local tour comp
It was the first time for us to take such a long flight to come to the distant Tanzania, but the boss of the local company arranged it very well for us, and we felt at home throughout the Safari. The boss Oscar was very patient. He answered many of our questions before we set off, eliminated our doubts, and tried his best to meet our requirements. He also arranged a very nice tour guide Irene for us. Irene is a very experienced tour guide and has very skilled driving skills. In the process of leading us on Safari, she would always ask us if we wanted to stop and whether we could set off, and would constantly introduce the various animals, plants, humanities and geography we encountered on the road. We learned a lot from her. Irene always uses her rich experience to find animals for us. With her help, we found the four African hegemons, which can be said to be very lucky. In short, the arrangement of the boss Oscar and the tour guide Irene brought us a very good Safari experience. Thank you very much. We will recommend you to Chinese friends who want to come to Tanzania Safari, and look forward to meeting you again~

good
Very good, the driving skills are very good, the female tour guide is also very good, a very powerful woman. The boss responded to the questions quickly and carefully.
The price-performance ratio is also very high!

Great experience, would do it all over again!
Great value for money, we really enjoyed our safari. We did a 5 day tour and enjoyed every day. We saw so much, including the big 5! Our guide was really knowledgable and took good care of us. He also communicated very well the entire time. What an incredible eye opening adventure.

Very supportive !
I booked via Kale Voyage for my first safari, which I can say a successful choice.
Lucas, the tour operator, is very supportive and he reply me very quick whatever questions I ask and the payment is flexible.
Even the day before the safari, he took me to a local restaurant as I asked him.
For the safari itself, I joined the different tour company as it was low season and combining together with other tour companies is more cost efficient. Within the tour, I saw cheetahs, lions (babies too), buffalos, a serval cat, zebras, hippos, rhinos, and so many.
For the accommodation, if you stay comfortable, I suggest you take lodge as a camp / tent is more reasonable and shared toilet and bathroom.
I really suggest you to contact Kale Voyage as he is very supportive.

Extensive experience, knowledgeable, and fluent in English.
The contact with the tour operator was pleasant. Osca quickly understood what we were looking for and what was important at each moment. For example, my father fell ill during one of the safari days. The schedule was immediately adjusted, and we visited a Western-oriented hospital nearby. Our guide, Anouare, was very pleasant and spoke good English. He was dedicated to his work in the parks, but also made it clear outside the parks when it was customary to tip or not for certain services.

Top-notch experience with Kale Voyage Expedition
I did the 4-day shared Safari tour to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national parks through Kale voyage. It is an on-point Safari tour company! It's reasonably priced, trustworthy and has a good liaison. I had some special requests, e.g. to pay the rest of my Safari payment on the morning the tour starts, and they made it all possible. They really did everything to make me feel comfortable. The owner (Oscar) went even beyond and helped me with other concerns regarding my travels in Tanzania and let me just say I'm super grateful to him. He was the most polite, kind and patient local I met on my one-month long solo trip in Tanzania. He even meets his customers before and after the Safari trip to make sure everything is fine. We had few beers together and it was fun.
I was joined with another group and tour company called Suricata Safaris. It's very common in general that Safari companies combine groups with each other if there's not enough people to fill in the car and make the tour possible. Suricata Safaris had the loveliest chef (James) and tour guide (Mandela). Food was good and the tour guide knew a lot about animals and the nature. However I wouldn't recommend doing the Maasai tribe tour optional to the Safari. It's only an hour long, you don't really get to see their culture and they will persistently sell you things. I think the selling is the main focus for the Maasai tour. Also 3-days would've been enough for the Safari. The days will be long and sometimes tiring but you will probably see a lot of animals. Serengeti and Ngorongoro were definitely the best ones to experience.
Only problem I had was with my health and getting to the hospital. I would've appreciated if the Suricata Safaris' tour guide was honest with me straight from the beginning about when I will be driven to the hospital. Apparently you cannot drive in the park when it's dark, but the bigger obstacle was the high entrance fee to the park you have to pay again for the whole group if you leave and come back to the park. I didn't know this and I was very scared about my condition since I also have type 1 diabetes. It wasn't nice living in the uncertainty. So if you have any health problems you should talk to your Safari company in advance and tell them you have an insurance in case of an emergency and you can pay for the required costs.
Anyways, this was not Kale voyages fault and they kept in touch with me and Suricata Safaris during that time. Everything turned out well in the end. Regardless of my health troubles I had an amazing and unforgettable Safari experience. I would recommend Kale voyage and especially Oscar from the bottom of my heart. He really cares about the customers and wants to make a good impact.

The tour was good organized
The tour overall was amazing. Our tour guide Simba was very friendly and experienced in answering our questions about the animals and nationalparcs. The food was very very delicious and various. Also the other staff members were really welcoming. The environment around the campsites was beautiful and the washrooms clean but some of the sleepingbags smelled a little weird.
About the payment you should be aware that you might only pay cash.

Great experience for small budgets
We were able to see all animals that we hoped for and waking up in the middle of the Serengeti was truly magical. Organisation was good and we really loved the food that the chef prepared for our group every day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)!
We picked the low budget option and stayed in a tent, which was spacious. The facilities are truly low budget but for two nights it was tolerable.
Thank you for the great experience!

Dream-come-true experience
Everyone stars their safari with the negotiation with agents, because of the time difference, the immediate response is very important, luckily, we have kale voyage, every question and request got answered ASAP. The itinerary was changed many times while we discussed, but kale voyage has always been patient, and sent me the changed version right away.
As we arrived in Kenya and tanzania, both journeys are amazing, our guide Susu told us a lot of knowledge about the wild animals , very professional and a good sense of humour keeping a good vibe in the car.
As for the hotel, we have tried different hotels and camps nearly every night. But we highly recommended tarangire safari lodge and ngorongoro Serena lodge, both of them have great views that are out of our expectations, and also the night drive in tarangire was an unforgettable experience with the milky river above your head and fireflies flying around you.

Went the extra mile to assure we got memories for life
Thank you for a wonderful experience!
We saw all big 5!
Lion, Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant and the Leopard.
And a lot of other animals including Zebra, Giraffe and wild beast.
It was so easy to communicate with Oscar beforehand and after, and definitely went the extra miles to meet our needs and make it as smooth as possible for us.
Further on the Guide did a great job sharing his knowledge, building the excitement and making sure that we got to see the animals as close as possible and getting the angles for the photos.
Would definitely use this company again, and so should you
