Outstanding team for a most memorable experience
I did a joint safari and there are some things that made porcupine outstanding against the other operators:
I was provided with some extra items such a binoculars (extremely valuable) and also, they checked in with me every second day if everything is well.
I felt extremely well taken care of during the entire experience: from the planning through the journey and also afterwards, the communication was quick, honest and they would rather suggest feasible options than promising anything and say later, that things might not be possible. (Which happened to other people in the group.)
What you have to know about joint safaris: you join with clients from other tour operators, so they might adapt the itenary slightly. I had the luck to not only have an amazing group, but have one of the most experienced guides and a very ambitious chef.
The guide Ismail Chalamila knows many Lions in Serengeti by their marks, knows the family relations and most important: where to find them. We saw about 6 times lions catching food and plenty of more with their cups. Ismail is not average but is extremely knowledgeable about all the species living in the northern circuit and he just loves nature and their creatures.
The Chef Eric provided us with breakfast and two warm meals per day and produced a perfect mix of local, traditional and fusion kitchen.
So all together this was a most memorable and outstanding experience, thanks to porcupine and the experienced team in the field. They even prepared a birthday surprise for me :)
Some tips: if you book camping, make sure to bring a torch or headlight and maybe a cotton sleeping back as you will be provided with sleeping backs and mattresses on the camp site.
Bring a jumper or so, as nights may be cold. Refrain from blue and black color clothes as the tsetse fly is attracted to that.
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.

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.

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.
