Fantastic safari, excellent guide, and everything was perfectly organized
We had an amazing safari experience from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. He had an amazing ability to spot animals, even those we would never have noticed ourselves, and always positioned the vehicle as close as possible while respecting the animals and park rules, giving us fantastic views and great photo opportunities.
The accommodation was comfortable, the food was delicious, and drinks were always available. Every part of the trip was well organized and of a very high standard. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the effort made to ensure we had the best possible experience.
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania!

Would book with them again and again
When looking for the right tour operator and planning the perfect safari, it can feel overwhelming. There are so many companies and so many reviews that it’s hard to know who to trust. If you’re reading this, just know we were in the exact same position until we came across this company—and we’re so glad we did.
From the very beginning, they made the booking process incredibly easy. They were flexible with our requests, answered all of our questions, and made everything stress-free. The moment we arrived in Africa, Mama Ana made and her family made us feel at home. Everyone who took care of us was welcoming, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure we had an unforgettable experience.
The hotel we stayed at had friendly staff, comfortable rooms, and good food. Once our safari began, we were lucky enough to have Julius as our guide and Freddy as our chef.
Julius was absolutely incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable, always happy to answer questions, and had eyes like an eagle. If you’re hoping to see the Big Five, he’s basically a cheat code. He somehow managed to spot animals that none of us could see, and every sighting came with interesting facts about the wildlife and the parks. His years of experience really showed, and we always felt we were in great hands.
Freddy was just as amazing. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner was ready on time, and every meal was delicious. We never felt like we were eating the same thing over and over, and there was always plenty of food. No matter what he prepared, we always left the table full and happy. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly and always had a smile on his face.
We chose the camping package where we stayed in tents each night, and honestly, we don’t regret it one bit. It made the experience feel so much more authentic. Hearing lions roaring in the distance while lying in our tent is something we’ll never forget. It truly felt like we were part of the wilderness.
This safari exceeded every expectation we had. From the planning, to the accommodations, to the people who took care of us, everything was outstanding. We would absolutely book with this company again, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. You won’t regret it.

A professional safari manager.
1,Attentive
Based on my safari requirements, a detailed plan was provided. During the process, the plan was repeatedly communicated and revised many times with very timely responses, demonstrating strong professional service capabilities.
2,Reliable
For money-related matters such as paying deposits and booking hotels, clear proof was always provided. Additionally, if the safari route needed adjustment due to external factors like the rainy season, we were informed in advance, giving us a strong sense of security.
3,Considerate
Anna maintained online communication throughout our safari, checking on our progress and experience. She even met with us in person after the safari and provided transportation in Arusha. It was truly thoughtful and considerate.

Great safari
I had a very good safari with porcupine tours!
They customised the safari for me to add an extra day at lake Manyara into the 5 day tour and the communication and value was great.
The tour itself was incredible and I saw so many mammals, plants and birds over the six days! The driver was very good at navigating the wet season tracks in the park. An incredible experience. The food the chef cooked was really great too. (I am vegetarian and there was always nice vegetarian options)
They were also very helpful arranging onwards travel.
Thank you very much Porcupine expeditions.

Absolutely unforgettable experience
I have no words to describe how this team treated us - not like tourists, but rather family members ❤️ Communication since the beginig has been exceptional: they’ve replied at 11:30 pm on sunday evening, answered all my questions, welcomed us at the airport at 4am - everything was incredible! Irene took care of everything and during the safari the whole experience was once in a lifetime - we saw so many animals, landscapes and our driver Niko was probably the best among the rest! The team also arranged transportation from Atusha to Moshi and basically took care of all the worries that we might have, so we could enjoy the experience in the best way possible! Super grateful for all the work they do and the way they treated us 🙏

They really care about you!
I booked a 5 day Safari of the Serengeti through Porcupine expeditions and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!
Not only did they find a great safari that fitted my dates and budget perfectly they really look after you as if your family. Julean and Anna are so kind! Julean picked me up at the airport, showed me around Arusha, took me out to her family’s restaurant for dinner and provided me with a hotel to stay in before my safari at no extra cost. Julean kept in contact with me through the tour to ensure everything was going to plan. She also booked my bus from Arusha to Dar Es Salaam for after the tour which was very helpful!
The safari they booked for me was amazing! I saw 5/5 of the big five plus so much more. My guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. He made sure we had great views of all the animals and didn’t rush us. The car, camping equipment and food were all very high quality.
As a solo female traveller who was a bit nervous about coming to Tanzania alone I would highly recommend Porcupine expeditions!

A flawlessly organized safari experience with exceptional personal service from start to finish
My experience with Porcupine Expeditions was absolutely fantastic. From the very beginning, everything was organized perfectly and ran exactly on time. I truly felt like a VIP throughout the entire trip.
A special thank you to Anna and Julia, who were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They responded to all my queries quickly and with great precision, which made the planning process completely stress-free.
The 4-day safari was the highlight of the trip. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5 along with loads of other animals, which was simply amazing. The accommodation was excellent, and the food was delicious every day. I highly recommend Porcupine Expeditions to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable safari adventure.

Attentive from beginning to end.
Anna and her daughters were very helpful and attentive throughout the safari. They offered us much more than what we had booked and made sure every day that everything was going well.

Amazing, she is the best
Porcupine Expeditions did everything possible to make my journey truly unforgettable.
From the very first moment, I felt truly welcomed and cared for, almost like a member of the family.
Anna, the owner, is a wonderful and kind person who creates a warm and loving atmosphere.
Her daughter Irene did absolutely everything to make my stay perfect and worry-free.
She was incredibly attentive, helpful, and always ready to assist with genuine kindness.
The safari was excellent and full of breathtaking moments I will never forget.
I gained so many beautiful experiences, both emotionally and personally, during this journey.
Visiting a local school was especially touching and became one of the most meaningful memories of my life.
2 day shared safari
Porcupine Expeditions organized a perfect and very smooth shared 2-day safari for us. Everything went according to the plan, timely and smoothly. They even helped beyond the safari with airport transfers, city tour etc. They are extremely attentive.
