Superb experience and exceptionally warm service.
The travel agency arranged everything very well. The boss was very hospitable and made us feel at home. The driver was very responsible and kept helping us look for animals. With their assistance, we had a wonderful safari experience.

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!

Excellent
I had a perfect five days and four nights safari trip. We saw many, many animals every day, we saw a lot of elephants, a lot of lions and leopards, which was beyond my expectations. Thank you Anna for your kindness and I am looking forward to my next trip.

Super warm and supportive tour company!
I went on a 2-night, 3-day safari in Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with my parents. We found out about Porcupine through a friend’s recommendation.
In short, it was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. In the Serengeti, we saw the big cats—lions, leopards, and cheetahs. The most unforgettable moment was witnessing a hunting scene with a pride of female lions. Waiting patiently for them to start the hunt was the most worthwhile ten minutes I’ve ever spent—haha!
In the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw a true wildlife paradise. Compared to the Serengeti, the animals there seemed to live a more peaceful and relaxed life.
The price of the tour was very reasonable, even during the peak season. On the first night, we were able to relax in a luxury lodge, and on the second night, we camped in a tent. Although the weather was rainy, the sunrise from Simba Camp was absolutely breathtaking.
Thank you to Porcupine, as well as our guide and chef, for making this trip so special!

Look no further for the most authentic Tanzanian experience
Mama Anna looks after you like one of her own and ensures you have the most authentic and well-organised Tanzanian experience. From climbing Kilimanjaro, waterfall hikes, safari, airport transfers, meals, to staying with a local family, Mama Anna and her team carefully plan every detail which will leave you desperate to come back from more! I cannot recommend Anna and the Porcupine Expeditions highly enough and implore you to plan your visit to Tanzania with them.

Very kind and thoughtful
The trip to Arusha was lovely, with time to visit a waterfall nearby which was an amazing experience!! The tour itself was amazing seeing all the animals however our guide wasn't the nicest but we still had a great time! The host Anna and her team were so kind throughout our stay and served us some really delicious food!
