Plan Before You Book
Long-form guides that help you decide before you commit. Real numbers, real photos, no fluff. Written by Jackson and Pete from the inside of the business.
The Big One
Wildebeest, calving, river crossings. The complete annual cycle of Africa's biggest wildlife event and exactly when to be where for what.

For Australians
Honest pricing, what's included vs hidden, and why a $5k safari and a $25k safari deliver such different experiences. An Australian's guide.

Gorillas
Permits, terrain, drive times, who it's right for. Both deliver the same magic from opposite ends of the difficulty curve.

“Pete is one of the most hospitable, knowledgeable and passionate people I’ve ever met. From the moment we woke up each day to when we went to sleep, everything was handled so smoothly. We were shown every side of what makes Tanzania so special.”

“Everyone should be so lucky to have someone like Peter guide them through Tanzania. His 20+ years of experience mean he can predict animal behaviour, knows where to go and where to stop, and how to position the vehicle for the best views and most exciting encounters.”

“Peter was more than a guide. He became our friend. He found game that others were not seeing and was able to cater to our whole family’s needs, including our son’s neurodiverse requirements on long journeys. One of the most magical experiences of our life.”

Meet The Team
The people who design your trip are the people who run it. No sales team, no call centre, no handoff. When you message Kingse you’re talking straight to Jackson, Samara or Peter, and one of our own senior guides leads you in the field.
Planning & Guest Relations
Gold Coast, Australia
Planning & Guest Relations
Jackson has spent years living and travelling across East Africa, from the Serengeti to Bwindi, from the Masai Mara to Volcanoes National Park. He knows what a destination feels like at 6am when the mist lifts off the crater floor, not just what it looks like in a brochure.
Ground Operations & Guiding
Arusha, Tanzania
Ground Operations & Guiding
Peter runs everything on the ground across East Africa. Vehicle coordination, guide assignments, lodge check-ins, supplier relationships, and the real-time decisions that keep a safari moving exactly as planned.
Operations & Client Experience
Samara runs the client side of Kingse, from your first enquiry through to the day you fly home. She looks after the planning detail, the bookings, and every question along the way.
No Agents. No Middlemen.
Jackson and Pete design your safari themselves, and Samara runs the client side. No sales team, no call centre, no handoff. The people who plan your trip are the ones running it on the ground, with one of our own senior guides beside you in the bush.
Book through an agency and part of what you pay never reaches Africa. Book direct with the people who design and run your safari, and your money goes into the trip itself: better lodges, longer game drives, a guide who knows you by name.
You book with Kingse Safaris Pty Ltd, our Australian company on the Gold Coast (ABN 37 698 821 886). Your safari is operated on the ground by our own team at Kingse Guides Ltd, a Class A licensed tour operator in Tanzania (Licence 036650, TIN 154-217-169) and a registered TATO member. We're accountable in both countries.
Every itinerary is built from scratch. Your travel dates, your pace, your interests. We don't run group departures or set routes. If you want to spend two extra days somewhere, we make it happen.
Start Here
Tell us what you’re thinking. Rough dates, who’s travelling, what you want to see. No commitment, no pressure, and you’ll hear back from our team, usually the same day.
