What guests say
Below are short extracts from reviews our guests wrote themselves on Google and Tripadvisor. Each one shows the reviewer's first name, the date and the site it came from, and links to the original so you can read the whole review. The wording is theirs. We have only chosen which sentences to show.
Ratings and counts were read from the two public pages on October 18, 2026. Google shows how long ago a review was posted rather than a date, so Google reviews are placed to the month.
“Jackson’s communication was exceptional. He always responded promptly to our questions and made the whole process incredibly easy.”
“Communication was always swift, and whenever an issue arose, they were incredibly responsive and quick to find a solution.”
“We felt supported from beginning to end. What a great team Kingse are.”
“He goes well beyond other companies I have traveled with by setting up our own personalized portal so we could reference all our accommodation, paperwork and even included some Swahili language for us to practice before arriving.”
“Long before we arrived in Tanzania, Kingse Safaris were on the job. Building a portal that would help us as we prepared and kept us informed and up to date on everything throughout our whole Kingse Safari adventure.”
“As a group of girls traveling, we also felt completely safe the entire time, which was really important to us.”
“The accommodations throughout the safari were stunning, very comfortable, and perfectly located.”
“He organized the safari exactly according to our wishes and was always eager to show us the best spots and hidden gems.”
“We really appreciated the fact that we were not part of the safari caravan and it felt like a personally tailored adventure.”
Reviews are the opinion of the people who wrote them. We reply to some of them on Google.
