Getting around
This is a sample itinerary, not a package. Every lodge, day and park can change. Get in touch and we design your trip from scratch.
An example itinerary, built to flex
The same legendary route, done the way you'd do it with no compromises. You drive the beautiful southern arc, treehouse suites above Tarangire, a historic coffee farm on the crater's shoulder, then trade the long road north for a light aircraft straight into the heart of the Serengeti.
Three nights at Asilia's Namiri Plains put you in the best big-cat country in the central Serengeti, with a private guide, beautiful tented suites and the time to simply be there. Lake Manyara steps aside to a scenic drive-through, because at this level the trip is about depth, not ticking boxes. The flagship camps (Singita, &Beyond) are available on request.
Your Trip, Day by Day
Drive the highlands, then fly to the cats. Scroll the days and follow the route, Arusha up to Tarangire and the crater, then a light aircraft onto the Serengeti and home off the plains.

Met at Kilimanjaro and settled into Gran Melia Arusha, polished, calm, with Mount Meru filling the window. An easy evening to land properly before the safari begins.
OvernightGran Melia Arusha
South into Tarangire for an afternoon among the elephant herds and thousand-year-old baobabs. Tonight you're up in the canopy at Tarangire Treetops, one of the most memorable beds in the north.
OvernightElewana Tarangire Treetops
A scenic climb with Lake Manyara shining below, and time in Pete's community along the way. Tonight is Gibb's Farm, a working coffee and vegetable farm on the crater's forested shoulder, all wood fires and garden-to-table food.
OvernightGibb's Farm
A first-light descent into the crater for the morning, then back up and a short flight that drops you deep in the Serengeti by afternoon, straight onto the game, no long transfer.
OvernightAsilia Namiri Plains
Namiri Plains was closed to the public for twenty years to protect the cheetah, and it shows. A full day with your guide in some of the richest predator country on earth, at your own pace.
OvernightAsilia Namiri Plains
Drift over the waking plains at dawn by hot-air balloon, then a champagne breakfast in the grass. The rest of the day is yours to spend on the game, or simply on the deck watching it come to you.
OvernightAsilia Namiri Plains
A last morning drive, then your flight back to Arusha and onward home, or a smooth connection to Zanzibar for the beach finish.

Where You Sleep
Lodges flex with your dates, your group and the season. If something is full or you fancy a step up at one stop, we swap it and re-cost on the spot.
The Investment
Twin share, excluding international flights. That works out around AUD $2,820 per person per night, all-inclusive on safari.
What's included
Not included
From-pricing is a starting anchor on a two-person sharing basis. Every Kingse quote is built live against the day's lodge, park and flight rates for your exact dates and group, never from a brochure. International flights you book yourself, so you keep your points and your routing.
Get this costed for your datesAdd the beach
Finish on the ocean in style. A smooth connection takes you to Zanzibar for four nights at a premium beachfront resort, all transfers and flights handled. Spa days, a sunset dhow, dinner at The Rock out on the reef, the slow, warm end the trip deserves.
Beach base: Melia Zanzibar
From AUD $7,800 pp
Zanzibar charges a visitor insurance fee (about USD 44 per person, paid online before you travel) and a small infrastructure levy (about USD 5 per person per night, paid at your hotel). We flag both in your pre-departure pack so you land prepared.
Compare
Same route, different level of comfort. Mix and match freely, plenty of our travellers land somewhere in between.
Tell us your dates and how many of you there are, and we'll build this exact trip around them, or tweak it however you like. No obligation, no pressure, just a real quote built live.
