You are so kind and affectionate
I'm here for the happiest of travelers. It's amazing.
You suspected manipulation because all the reviews are 5-stars, right? I was like that too, haha.
But don't worry! Since their main clientele is Europeans, they seem to give them almost all 5-star ratings.
And I highly recommend this tour company!!
The owner is incredibly friendly and creates a comprehensive tour. If you have any concerns or schedule concerns, he'll try his best to accommodate them.
However, as the name suggests, this is a budget tour. Unlike other tours costing millions of won, you'll actually sleep in tents in the grasslands. This is unavoidable if you want to avoid spending millions of won on a Serengeti Plains tour. Many people underestimate the value of tents and end up disappointed, so I'm letting you know in advance!
And the food at the accommodations is delicious. The chef seems to be quite skilled. The Arusha accommodations are also clean and spacious.
In short, if you don't mind staying in a tent, you won't find a better tour than this one. However, if you don't want to, I recommend spending more money! (It'll cost you about 500,000 to 600,000 won more.)
Have a great trip!

Perfect experience from the begining till the end
Best compagny for a safari. They are a family compagny and they give all they can for making sure that you will have a perfect experience from the begining to the end. They have amazing guide who know how to spot animals in every park and they are explaining a lot of nice facts. I did a lot of research to find a perfect compagny for my safari and I took the good one. They are also offering a really good price for what you have. We saw all the big five, a lot of lions actually.

considerate and friendly
Upon arriving at the airport, I was warmly greeted by staff who efficiently handled my check-in and provided clear, friendly briefings. The driver was already waiting, ready to load luggage and assist with any immediate needs. Throughout the process, the team responded to messages and inquiries almost instantly, making everything seamless. After the safari, they kindly arranged for the driver to take me to a local souvenir market, ensuring I could bring back special memories from the trip.

Incredible
I had an incredible experience with Porpucine Safaris in Tanzania. This is a local family-run company that truly cares about the people they host — you feel right away that you’re more than just a client.
Our guide, Anwar, completely transformed the safari. With over 30 years of experience, his knowledge of wildlife and nature felt endless. He’s passionate, always eager to share what he knows, and also very attentive to vehicle maintenance — which is absolutely essential in places like Serengeti.
During the trip, I had some health issues and was supposed to stay in a tent, but they arranged for me to sleep in a lodge instead, without charging me extra. In the condition I was in, that was priceless. The next morning, I even forgot my raincoat at the lodge, and although we were already 4 hours away, the manager from Porpucine made every effort to try and recover it. Their care and attention to detail truly stood out.
I highly recommend Porpucine Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic safari experience, guided by people who are passionate about their work and genuinely care for their guests.
Fantastic
Best experience. They are super charming and professional. From the moment they picked us up until we left, they took great care of us and arranged everything. The safari was amazing! The guide, Anwar, was very experienced and spotted every animal while also explaining a lot. The cook, Micheal, made the best food we have tasted in Tanzania! He even took great care of different diets. We definitely recommend booking here!

The most caring company!
Porcupine Expeditions were the best company we could have chosen for our safari experience. It was very much a family feel, with Anna and Juliana giving us the most attention and care to ensure we were ok.
I can't recommend them enough, you will have the best time!

Excellent. Recommended
When I started to research for booking safari at Serengeti, I found out Porcupine Expeditions and right from my first email inquiry to Anna until we departed from Arusha the experience has been so amazing. Was so easy to deal with Anna and her family who treated us like their family members and fed some tasty food. Aside that the booking on safari and whole experience to deal with the team has been awesome. Would love to visit again and highly recommended to book Porcupine Expeditions for your next Tanzania adventure. Special thanks to wonderful daughters of Anna who were so welcoming and hospitable towards us.
Anna and Juliana were super welcoming and helpful, they took care of us every step of the way!
We had a great safari! Everything ran smoothly, our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable, plus the food made by the chef was wonderful. Anna and her daughter Juliana went above and beyond to welcome us to Tanzania in the days before and after the tour. Would highly recommend!

Incredibly amazing Tour, guide, and experience. Juliana 🫶
We did a 3 days tour into the Safari, Juliane Maxmillian was waiting for us, helped us to get sim cards and got us out of trouble when we were trying to buy out things. She was constantly checking on us and made real my desires of getting braids on and sent me to the correct markets to buy my souvenirs. She was working together to her siblings Nancy and Phillip, the coolest teens in Tanzania. my friends thanks for everything I will miss you! Hakuna Matata
