Tour Operator did not disclose the details of a group tour correctly or in detail
I booked group tour with Porcupine and while the Safari itself was AMAZING, Porcupine did not disclose that other guests on the trip would all be staying at different accommodation. The result of this was that we spent easily 4 - 5 hours per day travelling to collect and drop off other guests. One evening, they expected the guide to drive an additional 2 hours in the dark in the Serengeti to drop me at an alternative location. It was already after 8pm. Effectively the result was tat I paid for a 6 day safari and in essence only got a 3 day safari if we remove all the unnecessary and undisclosed travelling. Furthermore, the operator made an error on my return flight to South Africa resulting in a 6 hour trip to the airport and back again unnecessarily. In the interim, the accommodation that I had paid for was cancelled and I was left at the Arusha Tourist Inn which was horrific. It was filthy dirty, I could not even use the bathroom due to the amount of mould and scum build up on the taps - this place has not been cleaned in YEARS. As a single female traveler, this location was not only unsafe but a health hazard. I have communicated respectfully and openly with Porcupine about my concerns however they are taking no accountability. I am so disappointed as this was a once in a lifetime bucket list trip

The tour operator was incredibly kind, friendly and helpful, and made us feel very welcome throughou
We had an amazing safari experience and were absolutely satisfied from start to finish! We had a private tour, and our guide really did everything he could to give us the best experience possible. He was incredibly kind, friendly and knowledgeable, explained so many interesting things to us and always took the time to answer all of our questions. He put so much effort into making our safari special, and we are sure he would show the same dedication and enthusiasm on a group tour.
The organization was also excellent. Everyone we communicated with was incredibly kind, helpful and welcoming. They really tried to make everything possible for us and even arranged hotel rooms for us both before and after the safari, so we could freshen up, shower and get ready before our flights. The hotels were also very nice. We truly felt welcomed and cared for like family throughout the whole experience.
Overall, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience, and we would definitely recommend this safari!

Would 100% recommend, excellent service!
After contacting several safari tour operators, we chose Porcupine Expeditions, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made.
My friend and I arrived on different flights, and the team kindly arranged separate airport pickups for both of us at no extra charge. Before starting our safari, we had a day in Arusha to relax and recover from our journey. We had originally planned to explore the city on our own, but instead, the team took the time to show us around, which we greatly appreciated.
From start to finish, they took care of everything, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience without having to worry about a thing. We truly felt like princesses!
Mama Anna and her daughters were incredibly professional, welcoming, and kind. We encountered an issue during our safari, and they immediately did everything they could to find a solution.
We did a six-day safari followed by a one-day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. Both our safari guide and mountain guide were knowledgeable and experienced.
The agency also helped us arrange a taxi from Zanzibar Airport to our hotel after the safari. Thanks to this contact, we were able to book all of our transfers and tours in Zanzibar as well.
We highly recommend Porcupine Expeditions. They made our trip completely stress-free and unforgettable!
Excellent!! Mama Anna and Samantha make you feel like family!
Following the safari, I am recommending Mama Anna and her team to everyone I know.
Mama Anna and Samantha treat you like one of their own. And there were several examples of this. She insisted we had breakfast before the safari, insisted we had dinner afterwards and then insisted we get a private transfer back to Moshi, all on her own dime and arranged beforehand as a suprise. Mama Anna is truly wonderful!
The safari itself was wonderful. Saw all the Big 5 and the guide was great! Super knowledgeable and paced it just about right.
Only regret is that I wish I found Mama Anna and her company sooner!
Very helpful, kind, and organized!
This tour is truly a life changing experience and this tour company makes you feel so welcome and taken care of. They make sure you have everything you need to have a wonderful time and have exceptional service and are very kind. I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone looking to do a safari here in Arusha. I cannot praise them enough for the hospitality and kindness I received before, during, and after the tour.
