Wonderful hospitality and well planned tour beyond expectations
We did a 3 day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide and chef were great, and went above and beyond to ensure we saw many animals including the Big Five.
This would not have been possible without Anna, who made us feel welcomed and comfortable. She is incredibly kind and ensured we had everything we needed for our trip and was very responsive, giving us all the information we needed before booking with her.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an adventure.

Once in a life experience!!
Anna was always super kind and supportive whenever we needed help.
Also, the price she offered was the most reasonable out of all the other tour operators that I contacted.
The safari tour itself was fantastic. It was definitely once in a life time experience that we will never forget.
We went for a five day budget tour, but still wasn't long enough, because we really enjoyed the nature, the animals, and the people!

Fantastic safari tour with Porcupine Expeditions
We had a very positive experience with Porcupine Expeditions. Tour organizer Anna was really friendly and helpful, she let us stay at their family hotel in Arusha and told us everything we needed to know for the tour. She immidiately made us feel like home and was like mother to us. The tour itself was amazing and we saw a lot of animals and so mabt beautiful views. Accommodation was well organized and it was easy to contact Anna if we had any problems. Most of the time we just relaxed while our guide took care of everything. Worth of money for sure.

Wonderful, good and professional guide, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro 3 wonderful parks
Stunning parks where I admired all the animals of the savannah. Indescribable emotions, took many photos and videos. It was the first safari and I hope to do another in the future. I was very satisfied with the owners of the agency. They helped me with all the problems I had, they always helped me as soon as I asked

The best tour operator
I highly recommend Porcupine Expeditions. We were on safari for 4 days 3 nights (Tarangire, Serngetti, Ngonkoro - budget option (in tents and a car shared with other tourists). The safari was amazing and we saw all the animals we wanted to see.
But most of all I would like to thank Mrs. Anna, who is amazing woman. Very caring and helped us with everything. Mrs. Anna picked us up from the airport and took us to the hotel from which we were leaving for safari the next morning. In the meantime, Mrs. Anna prepared a hearty meal for us in her restaurant. We also wanted to take advantage of the fact that we have a few hours in Arusha and visit the immediate area. Mrs. Anna's daughter showed us around the city and told us a lot of interesting stories. Only during the tour we found out that Abigale is a guide and that's why she has such amazing knowledge. Thank you, Abi!!!. Additionally, Mrs. Anna arranged and activated a local SIM card for us, ordered bus tickets for us while we were on safari and provided us with great care. We returned from the safari around 5 p.m. and the bus was at 8 p.m. Mrs. Ania arranged for us to take a bath after the safari in the hotel next door, prepared a meal for us again and then took us to the bus.
I will also add that Porcupine Expeditions offered us the best price of all and I compared the offers of 20 agencies. I highly recommend it again. You won't find a better company

Very kind mama and her staff
I chose Porcupine because the price was cheaper than other tour companies, but their service was the best.
When we exchanged e-mails, Mama Anna answered the questions well. She welcomed me when I arrived, and served me meals and drinks before and after the tour, so I didn't have to spend extra money.
Her daughter Abigail gave me Arusha Town tour before the safari. She was also as kind as her mother and the tour was quite interesting.
Even the safari driver Jonas was kind enough to take all the questions from the talkative group member, and he tried very hard to find leopards and cheetahs for us.
Among Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, Ngorongoro was the best because of its temperature and atmosphere. But I recommend visiting all three places.
I didn't expect to receive such hospitality from the other side of the world. So I will recommend this company to my friends as well.

Wonderful experience
Everything was perfect during our safari tour !! Before the safari, the communication was really fluid between Anna and I and she responded to all my questions. The day we arrived, Anna came to pick us at the airport and was really kind ! She responded to all our questions. During the safari everything was perfect too. We had a great guide with a lot of experience who showed us everything that we wanted to see ! Thank you again for everything !!

Well planned, well prepared and an amazing experience
I contacted several companies and found Anna's offering and communication the best.
Anna was really helpful, gave me tips on what to pack and helped me with other travel arrangements.
When we arrived in Arusha, Anna came to meet us the day before our safari and gave us some information, the next day we got picked up from our hotel and brought to the safari car.
We booked a group safari as we love to meet people and that was really a great choice.
Our guide, Mike was absolutely brilliant, great guy all around and we had lots of fun and laughs with him!
We loved every part of the experience and we couldn't recommend any one better than Anna and her team!
We loved the greenery of the area in November as it is the rainier season, but all of the national parks were green, there was less dust on the roads, there were less cars but also the weather was great in the high 20s.
We did the tour that included Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro NP and Manyara NP and we saw all of the big 5 including many babies! Absolutely an amazing 5 days and we felt very well cared for!!
Asante sana to Anna, our guide Mike and the amazing 4 people we met and spent 5 days with!
