Hassle free, comfortable, very safe, best deal
No hassle. Very safe. Team was very helpful and responsive from beginning till end of tour. Got the best deal compared to many operators. They helped arrange my train tickets and other bookings, apart from the safari, for no additional cost.

Efficient, well-organized, and seamless
I did both the gorilla trekking tour at Volcanoes NP, as well as a customized half-day Kigali tour with New Horizon. Both were executed flawlessly. Clear pick-up location and time, no issues with transportation, and my driver/guide, Theo, was so wonderful. If I do come back to Rwanda, I would use their company again without a moment of hesitation.

Perfect
That was a phenomenal 2-day safari. Kenya without a safari would be a sin. Ali, the tour guide, speaks very good German and is very well educated. He can explain everything to you and is very entertaining. There is no fixed route, but he reacts very quickly and flexibly and gave us a very great and successful safari. Thank you.

Ticked all the boxes
Enjoyed a 4 day trip with no issues at all . Our driver/ guide Joshua was excellent he managed to find all the animals apart from the leopard which was just sadly too elusive on this trip
He was also happily to assist me with advice and help for the rest of my trip

Good experience.
We had a truly amazing trip to Tanzania, and Michael was an outstanding guide throughout the entire journey. One of the highlights for me was seeing the lions and giraffes right along the road, which was such a unique experience. During the safari, Michael's team did an exceptional job of finding wildlife for us, ensuring we had an unforgettable day. The dedication they showed in searching for animals, as well as their deep knowledge of the area, made the experience even more special. Additionally, the food was delicious and of high quality throughout the trip. I would love to return for another adventure in the future!

Authentic, helpful, nice
We had a perfect time with Safari Porini and our guide Charles.
We had booked a 5-day stay with 6 overnight stays.
We landed at Kilimanjaro Airport at 7am the next morning and were met by Charles.
He took us to the Venus Hotel in Arusha, where we spent the first day and then set off from there the next morning for our first safari day.
Charles helped us with the first problems that arose, buying a local charger and exchanging money or withdrawing money from an ATM.
1st safari day Tarangire Park:
We drove 2-3 hours to Tarangire Park the next morning. There we were able to observe lions and elephants up close and many other animals.
Overnight stay night 2-3 Marera Valey Lodge:
Outstanding food, everything clean, nice pool and super friendly people
2nd safari day Manyara National Park
A park that is rather untypical. Very narrow paths, more like you would expect from a jungle. The absolute highlight is the large number of elephants. We were also able to see the first giraffes and zebras
3rd day Serengeti
The drive to the Serengeti is already an absolute highlight, as you cross parts of the Ngorongoro crater.
Here we were able to see giraffes, zebras and wildebeest in large numbers. Hyenas were also spotted and unfortunately a bunch of vultures that were attacking a dead wildebeest.
At the gate to the Serengeti we were greeted by 3 cheetahs and saw a large number of lions on the game drive. The absolute highlight was that we were able to watch the preparations for the hunt. Even if it failed.
Overnight stay 4-5 Thorne Tree Tented Camp:
In the middle of the Serengeti we were allowed to spend the night in a giant tent with a bed and our own toilet and shower. The prepared dinner was absolutely delicious and the stay was an absolute experience!
4th day safari Serengeti
Early morning game drive, which in the end didn't end until 5 p.m. Here, too, we got to see a large number of animals. Lions, hyenas, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, crocodiles, a variety of birds of prey, etc.
5th day Ngorongoro Crater:
Here you could finally experience everything you had seen before in one place. Absolutely fascinating and a rhinoceros was added to our list 😊
6th night Bougainvillea
Extremely comparable to our accommodation Marera Valley Lodge. Everything was simply beautiful
Conclusion:
It was a fascinating experience with absolutely breathtaking animal experiences.
That was perhaps to be expected, but what impressed us in a really positive way was the friendliness of our guide Charles and practically every single employee we met somewhere.
Everything was 100% authentic and recommended.
By booking with Safari Porini, you can be sure that your money stays with a local company and you have a private experience.
Best wishes, Kevin

Communication with agency is excellent.
Well organized. Had excellent sightings of all big 5 between Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. We had 2 lunches in the bush which were memorable.
