The experience was AMAZING. The service provided was much more than you are expecting!
The level of attention gave to us as stunning. The guide was very funny and with very knowledge about the animals and the area. Porcupine expedition gave us a amazing experience and much more....we forgot some warm clothes for safari, but they gave us clothes for the occasion and wet wipes. On the arrival at the airport we got a tour around arusha and they took us to places that we wanted visited. All the things mentioned on top were follow all the time with members of the company without any Extra charges. We felt completely secure and thankful for everything!! No regrets!! Thank you guy's!

So kind and knowledgeable, found me the best arrangements
The communication was seamless, i genuinely feel like i got the best deal during this tour and didn’t have to worry about anything. I was coming after my friend’s wedding so only had a couple days to spare for vic falls but really wanted to hit the must dos without breaking a bank. I shared some thoughts about how i want to plan asked for advice, Memo was straightforward and found me what i needed with all good options and just handled it from there. No need to chase down and just felt really easy. Thank you!!!

Outstanding - memorable, fun and life affirming!
Has genuinely been such an emotional and memorable experience, couldn’t recommend this tour company more. Our Tour Guide Eshe and Driver Abel were outstanding, so kind, professional, navigated what could have been tricky times across the whole of the South of the country, but always felt comfortable, safe and having so much fun! What an experience. I would tell everyone to come visit Ethiopia and with Kingdom - we will be back!

Best Safari Team in Tanzania.
If you are planning a safari, this is definitely the way to go. The logistics were flawless, and spending time at the lodge added so much comfort to our overall stay. The real highlight was having Jeremy as our guide. He knows the parks inside and out, shares amazing insights about animal behavior, and goes out of his way to answer every question. Thanks to him, our adventure exceeded every expectation.

Perfect service and safari 👌🏼
When I started planning my first safari, I was overwhelmed with the options. I ended up checking gemfinders amongst others and they immediately stood out: very quick responders, very thoughtful and helpful. I had so many questions, needed a lot of advice in planning a proper safari adapted to my preferences and Mildred dealt with everything with a lot of patience, kindness and great advice.
We ended up creating a personalised plan and when the date approached they contacted me several times to remind me of the dates, the things I had to bring, time and place of meet up, etc. This, amongst the quick responses I always got, made me realise how reliable the company was.
The funny part is that the safari was WAY better than expected! The guide, Lawrence, was simply AMAZING. I am a big animal lover and read a lot about animals so had a lot of questions and needed a lot of information: he answered everything and knew a lot about each animal. He was very friendly and extremely punctual and reliable. He is a great driver too. He was making sure to adapt to our needs and provide the great safari we did. Honestly, it was perfect.
Also, the accommodation combined cultural experiences with resorts and amazing views.
I will recommend Lawrence and Gemfinders to anyone who wants to do a safari here. I am very pleased, lucky and how Lawrence says: blessed. We saw the big 5, the 9 strong, the 5 ugly ones and way more animals than I had imagined. Simply incredible. Lawrence promised the best safari and it was. THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE.

Fantastic tour operator, real people building tailor made experiences.
Everything about our Safari with African big cats was seamless from beginning to end. They helped build the perfect itinerary for our family, I never felt pressured to commit and was given lots of advice and time to research. Our guide, Samuel, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and a fantastic driver who got us close to all the action. As a family with children he seemed to know how long to make game drives and when we were ready to relax at our lodge. The lodges selected for us were all fantastic and I cannot fault the food, facilities and most of all the friendliest staff! We truly had the trip of a lifetime that we’ll never forget.

Best experience
Lawrence is the best safari guide ever. He is devoted to make his guests have the best experience and make them happy. He has the desire to make every safari better than the last one (he got it). Funny, well-knowledged, kind, adorable and a lovely person. He made me feel confortable with him around.
His love for animals, environment and his culture has no limits (as his knowledge).
Definetly no animal can escape his binocular eyesight (he sees everything!!).
I was so blessed to have him, not just as the tour guide, also as a friend. 10/10 Thank you!

Professionals and kindness
Our experience was wonderful. The tour was very well prepared and the attention and information were good. Cibril and Mildred worked very much and had patience to prepare an amazing tour to our family. Thank you. Our guide, Lawrence, is a wonderful guide and person. He has done that our stay during the tour was comfortable and his knowledge and explanations about the animals were extraordinary and very imteresting. But the most important thing is that Lawrence is very friendly and very professional. Thank you so much Lawrence. We won't forget our stay in Kenya, we had a great time!
