Travelled with comfort, knowledge and expertise.
We had three jeeps as we had a group of 15. They were well organised, knowledgeable and extremely courteous. They are kind and will do whatever they can to accommodate and adapt to you.

Good with communication and managing needs.
The trip was well organised and we were looked after well. No issues with any financial transactions.
Hotels were clean and provided good buffet meals.
Our safari guide in Kenya,Jackson was very attentive and went out of his way to show us as much as possible. We had a good Toyota cruiser, 6 seater for 4 travellers
Issue we had were with vehicle breakdown on 2 of out 8 days safari. We lost 2 half days. However given the terrain it is no wonder vehicles breakdown. However I feel there could have been some small compensation given our loss of day and unlikely we will return to Kenya, Tanzania.
On the whole, I would recommend the agent.

Very helpful
I had an amazing 3-day safari in Tanzania! Communication was smooth from start to finish, and everything ran perfectly on time. Our drivers, Michael Prosper and Husseini, were absolutely fantastic – super knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip so enjoyable. The tour was well-organised, great value for money, and we saw so much wildlife. Highly recommend!
Hassani knows everything!!!
Really enjoying our safari so far. Hassani, knew the answers to the millions of questions I asked about the safari and surrounding areas. He's also so eagal eyed, spotting animals where you'd never think they were. He's polite, professional and helpful. Catered to our needs, especially as I had a baby, they accommodated with a child seat and stopped for nappy changes. Highly recommend Gosheni Safaris.

Greatest trip ever
I spent 6 days with Agusti Renga and the Wings of Africa TZ guys.
We climbed mount Meru and took two day safari trips.
I must say, i have never met such friendly and trustworthy people. They took us from the airport and show us the country. We had great climbing experince and enjoyed the safari very much.
I highly recomend you to book your trips in Tanzania with the Wings of Africa. You will not regret it.

Easy going, professional, punctual
It was a great experience. Everything worked out as it should have. The timing, picking up at hotel, everything! We got to see lots of animals, get good angles for photos and enjoy our experience!

Avoid This Company – Lost €2,153 Due to Their Negligence
We booked our wedding safari with this company and had extensive communication — over 10 emails exchanged using their official email address — where we agreed on all the trip details. After everything was confirmed, we received a request for a 50% deposit, again from their same official email. Trusting this, we sent €2,153 to the account details provided.
Some time later, we received an email from telling us to contact them via WhatsApp. We then heard from them on WhatsApp, where they told us their email had been hacked. I have proof email regarding payment request, and WhatsApp communication confirming these facts.
During later discussions, instead of showing any regret or empathy, they told us it was our fault for sending the money — even though they admitted their own systems had been compromised. To make things even worse, they then demanded we pay the full price again — even higher than the previously agreed price — claiming that the lower price had not been agreed by them and that the “real” price is higher.
This is especially outrageous because this was meant to be part of the most important day of our lives — our wedding — and their attitude has completely ruined the experience before it even began.
Recommendation:
For your own safety and peace of mind, avoid this company at all costs. We lost our money, and instead of helping us find a fair solution, they blamed us, refused responsibility, and tried to charge us even more.
Great, reliable tour operator!
Before the safari, Tabitha was very communicative on WhatsApp, answering any questions and concerns. I went on the 3 day safari to Maasai Mara with the guide, Raymond. As a solo traveler, I was paired with 3 additional solo travelers and 2 couples. All from different countries, we had a great time, driving back and forth between Nairobi and Maasai Mara, and doing the safari. Raymond was extremely knowledgeable about the park and the animals. A guide for 15 years, Raymond’s appreciation for the wildlife is very apparent. He went above and beyond to make sure we would see animals we were looking for. The tour was well organized and ran smoothly. The campsite I stayed at felt safe and secure, and they attempted to fix any issues that arose with things like hot water and electricity for different guests. But also, in the middle of rural Kenya, do not expect everything to be perfect. The weather and some things like that are just difficult! We were very muddy on our first day and dusty on our second. My group found things to laugh about through any unexpected circumstance, because everyone was able to go with the flow - something important for this experience. So expect your clothes to be dusty or muddy, expect the roads to be rough, but most of all expect to have the best time!

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! :)
