Our Story
About Kingse Safaris
A Small Team. One Operation. Every Detail Covered.
Kingse Safaris is built around a simple idea: the people who design your trip are the people who run it.designs the trips, the itinerary, the lodge selection, the timing.runs the client side, your enquiry, your bookings, and the answers to your questions along the way. Our own senior guides run the ground in Tanzania, the vehicles, the guide team, and the moment-to-moment decisions that make a safari actually work.
Between us, we've spent years across East Africa. Not in offices, but in the field. That's not a marketing line. It's the reason our trips run the way they do.
Jackson Potter
Founder & Managing Director
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.
He handles every enquiry personally, building itineraries from scratch, selecting lodges, timing seasonal movements, and staying in contact from the moment you reach out until you're home. Withalongside him on the client side, you're always talking directly to the people who run Kingse. No sales team, no handoff, no call centre.
Peter Nanyaro
Senior Guide
Peter grew up in northern Tanzania and has spent his career guiding through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. He was Jackson's guide on the 2023 trip that started Kingse.
He knows the parks, the routes, and the people. When something needs adjusting in the field, a road condition, a timing, a last-minute call,handles it before you've noticed there was anything to handle.
Samara Imhoof
Head of Operations & Client Experience
Samara runs the client side of Kingse, from your first enquiry through to the day you fly home. The planning detail, the bookings, the run sheets, and every question along the way, that's Samara's side of the operation.
She works hand in hand withon every trip, so there's always a real person who knows yours inside out. No call centre, no outsourcing, no handoff, just a straight line to the people running Kingse.
Our Guide Network
Your guide is the person you'll spend every morning with in the bush, and they make or break the experience. We work with a handpicked network of senior guides across Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Namibia, Botswana, Victoria Falls and South Africa. Professionals who've spent decades in the field and know their parks with a depth no classroom can teach.
They don't just find the animals. They read the landscape, anticipate behaviour, and position you for moments that most vehicles drive straight past. Every guide in our network has been personally vetted byor bydirectly, and carries a track record with our guests that we stand behind completely.

Why Kingse
Conservation With Purpose
The Nanyaro Foundation
Pete grew up in Karatu, and there's a small community school there we've committed to for the long run. Power and water first, then classrooms, transport, and more year levels. A lot of our guests stop in on the way through.
