Friendly, forthcomming, problemsolver and a good organiser - a wounderful experience!8
We praice our luck for booking with MamaAnna Mmbaga and Porcupine Expeditions! The price was good, the service exellent, and every little obstacles were taken care of. Every tanzanien involved in the safari took good care of us, and were most friendly. The driver on the safari was knowledged and told us a lot about what we saw, hos animals live, and the whole ecology in Tangerine, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We thank them all for making this an experience of our life! For me as a women of soon 70, I am most grateful for all help.

Perfect and professional support
We just wrapped up our 5-day safari, and honestly, everything was amazing. Ana and her daughters planned it all with such care, professionalism, and a super high level of service — right from the moment we landed at the airport until the moment we left. Every single lodge and tented camp lived up to (and even went beyond) our high expectations.
The nights we spent in a tent in the Serengeti were something else — a totally immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
And we can’t forget our guide — he was incredible! Super knowledgeable, answered every single question we had and always added extra info about the animals, the ecosystem, and the local tribes.
We had a small issue with the payment at the beginning, but they trusted us and let us start the trip anyway while we sorted it out on the go — that really says a lot about the kind of people they are.
They welcomed us and truly made us feel like part of Mama Ana’s family. We 100% recommend this amazing agency to anyone thinking of going on safari!

The owner is a beautiful and kind-hearted lady.
I went on a safari in Tanzania and booked with this travel agency. When our flight arrived that night, it was already 2 a.m., but the agency’s owner personally came to the airport to pick us up. He was extremely warm and welcoming—helping us with our luggage and introducing us to the local culture and customs. We immediately felt at ease.
The next day, after breakfast, we set off on our safari. Though the journey was a bit tiring, it was incredibly enjoyable. The agency’s driver was very responsible, making sure we saw as many animals as possible. After the safari, we returned to Arusha. We were about to book a hotel, but the owner kindly offered us free accommodation, dinner, and breakfast the next morning. The following day, he even took us to a local African art gallery to experience the culture, accompanying us the entire time until he dropped us off at the airport.
This is an excellent travel agency with an incredibly kind owner. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend them!"

The most worthwhilip expedition，He gave us the most amazing trip to Tanza.
They are very serious, friendly, responsible and professional. Choosing them is my proudest decision. We arrived at the airport at 2 am, and they were waiting for us in two cars. They are also very patient. 2. The five-day safair trip was very reasonable, and the driver was very friendly and professional, which allowed us to find many animals. And will carry our luggage, protect our safety, try our best to help us find animals, and be patient. 3. The boss pays great attention to our experience: he will ask me how I played every day. Tell them all the problems and they will help us solve them. Of course, the most touching thing is that after the trip, they also provided extra hotel accommodation and provided breakfast and lunch. On the last day, the boss took us to the art gallery and the market for free. Take us to the airport. We play and sing happily. The boss is very friendly and kind. The boss says that I am like her child and will prepare dinner for us. juneal is very beautiful and friendly. I like her very much and have unforgettable dinner and play experiences with her. Finally, we will come back next time and recommend it to our friends.

Tanzania trip: The warm details of the ground pick-up and the driver make the journey perfect
This trip to Tanzania with my friends, because I chose this reliable travel agency, the whole process was surrounded by warmth and surprises. What touched me most was the enthusiasm of the ground pick-up at the late night. Although the boat and car were tired, she was full of smiles all the way and skillfully helped us carry our luggage. On the day of the return trip, the beautiful boss offered to provide free accommodation and prepared a delicious dinner.
Every link of the journey is full of care: the driver is simply an animal encyclopedia, who can not only accurately find the cheetah lion hiding in the bushes, but also explain the unique habits of animals; the chef team changes the dishes that combine local characteristics every day. Every frame of this perfect journey condenses the professional and humane service of this travel agency. It is highly recommended to friends who yearn for Africa!

The stay was beyond our expectations!
I will recommend Porcupine Tours to every friend who comes to Tanzania. The reception staff is warm and lovely. The staff arranged the entire safari process very well, the food was delicious, and at the end they prepared dinner and accommodation for us at the hotel. At the time, we were worried about a problem with the hotel we had previously booked, but their actions directly solved our problem. When allocating rooms, they even considered the problem of the three of us staying together. It was really thoughtful and the price-performance ratio was super high. I recommend it!!!
The stay was beyond our expectations! From the cozy room layout to the thoughtful service, we could feel the hotel team's dedication everywhere. The staff's warm smiles and quick responses instantly melted away the fatigue of the journey. The environment was clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious.

An Exceedingly Perfect Safari Experience – Professional, Thoughtful, and Flawless
Our 5-day safari trip far exceeded all expectations! The ground service provided by the tour operator was impeccable, with every detail meticulously arranged, ensuring a completely hassle-free journey.
Despite our late-night arrival due to flight delays, the pickup staff greeted us warmly without any complaints. Throughout the trip, the team patiently adjusted our itinerary multiple times to accommodate flight changes and special requests—all without charging extra fees. Their customer-first attitude was truly heartwarming!
Our guide was incredibly experienced—not only was his driving smooth and safe even on rough terrain, but his deep knowledge of wildlife behavior also allowed us to observe lions, elephants, cheetahs, and many other animals up close. He even spotted some rare species! His professionalism and sense of responsibility made us feel completely at ease throughout the journey.
The chef was another delightful surprise! Despite the wilderness conditions, every meal was delicious—from fluffy pancakes at breakfast to perfectly grilled meats at dinner. He even customized dishes to suit our tastes.
In short, this tour operator’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made our African adventure unforgettable. If we ever go on safari again, we wouldn’t hesitate to choose them! Highly recommended!
