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.

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!

A family run business that takes care of all your needs!
I came across Porcupine Expeditions through this site and the reviews spoke for itself! From the initial contact prior to the safari, the communication was clear and prompt. As a solo traveller, I had so many questions about the tour but Mama Anna made me feel safe and assured that I was in good hands - I knew I booked the 2 day safari with the right tour company! Upon arrival at the airport, they were there ready to welcome me with open arms. The warm hospitality with Porcupine Expeditions was impeccable - it felt like I was home! Safari driver was very knowledgeable and was happy to stop by a Maasai village after the safari to do a village tour. After the 2 day safari, Anna also organised a day to visit Materuni waterfalls, coffee tour and Chemka Hot Springs. It was the most magical day! Loved every bit of the itinerary put together by Porcupine Expeditions! Highly recommend! :)

A really great experience!
Me and my wife did a safari with Tanzania Porcupine Expeditions and it was amazing! The prices are affordable and they take care of EVERYTHING. Anna, the manager, she is really lovely and she treated us as her own sons, she worried about every single detail and made us feel like home. Choosing them was the best decision we could have done by far!!!

4 Day Serengeti Safari with Porcupine Expeditions
I used Porcupine Expeditions to organise a four day safari in the Serengeti for my parents. It was the first time they had been to Tanzania, let alone Africa. Although they were a little nervous to do a tour on their own instead of with a group like they usually travel, they came back saying it was one of the best trips they'd ever done. From the beginning, Jullie from the team was really helpful and worked with me to tailor an itinerary that included the key spots in the Serengeti and being able to see the Mara river crossing as part of the Great Migration. This one of the main reasons I went with Porcupine Expeditions because most tour companies require you to be on a longer tour to see the river crossing, or are a lot more expensive. When my parents arrived, she took such good care of them and was always available to answer any queries. On the safari itself, the driver/guide was very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife and they saw so many animals. The accommodation was also fantastic and such a unique experience to be able to stay in glamping-like style tents that offered beautiful views of the animals and were comfortable, clean and safe. Thank you so much to Jullie and the team for going above and beyond for organising such a wonderful trip. What really stood out was the level of care, warmth, communication and organisation throughout, and I could not recommend them enough!

Great experience
Anna and Juliana were excellent hosts. The safari was exactly what we expected, and we saw more animals than anticipated. Our guide, Joseph, provided clear explanations of the Serengeti and Ngororgo. The Tourist Inn hotel has spacious rooms. Anna and Juliana's dedication was outstanding. We had a payment issue, but we were able to pay part of the amount after the safari. A driver was also available to take us to several locations. Porcupine is definitely recommended!
