Best Safari experience
I booked my Safari Tour ( 3 days, where 2 are in Serengeti and 1 in Ngorongoro) with Porcupine Expedition not knowing how amazing it would be. The staff is really attentive and fast responsive, and the prices are really good as well (620 USD).
My tour was guided by Jonas, and he was amazing. He had so many curiosities from wild life to share. And the tour went really smooth.
The chef cooked really good food, the infrastructure they provided was also good (camping in tents with a lot of space inside).
By the end of the Tour, I got to know mama Anna. The owner of the company. She is so sweet and caring. She helped me getting in contact with some locals from Zanzibar as well and even gave me a gift (some local paintings).
Thanks so much for the amazing experience! I am recommending this tour to everyone I know that wants to go to a Safari.
The rain season ended up being the best one, because of better prices, there were not many people doing safaris, we didn't get any rain during the Safari and we also managed to see the big 5.

Helpful, caring
I think the tour exceeded my expectations. Everything was arranged, everything taken care of. Taxis, tour itself, everything around. Mama even borrowed us binoculars and pillows for free when we didn't have them. 10/10 experience. Thanks!

Above and Beyond. Attention to Detail. Friendly, and safe.
Anna went above and beyond to make sure I could get into an excursion last minute. She organized a two day trip to Nrongroro crater and Tarangire NP within an hour of me landing into Kilimanjaro Airport. A tremendous effort of hospitality was demonstrated she took care of everything and left me nothing to worry about. My transport was seemless and the driver Joshua was AMAZING, educative and a jokester. 10/10 experience if i come back to tanzania i will rebook with Anna.

Authentic and warm Tanzania, a real joy! Anna and her family welcomed us and pampered us so well!
We experienced extraordinary moments of sharing, laughter, discovering nature but also discovering the inner beauty of Tanzanians. We are not about to forget! From the first contacts Anna planned everything: at the airport, Joseph (the driver) and Juliana (Anna's daughter) were waiting for us to take us to the hotel, then, after a little rest they kindly showed us around Arusha. The next day we left for a 5-day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) with Thomas, a very professional and experienced driver as well as Coco, a very good cook. Back, Anna organized a day for us at the Materouni waterfalls (+ visit to the coffee plantation, swimming in the natural pool), a day that we shared with Yrine, Philip and Joseph; then the last morning we were taken back to the airport. We flew to Zanzibar leaving a piece of our hearts in Arusha!

Go the extra mile of excellence!!
Porcupine Expeditions exceeded all of my expectations. From the multiple airport pickups to the airport dropoff. Me and my family was treated as if we were their family. Even prior to our arrival the communication was top teir. Mama Ann and her family made us feel so comfortable with all of our concerns. If you are looking to travel to Tanzania, Porcupine Expeditions is the company for you and yours for all your safari and local tours. We were able to squeeze in our trip the coffee tour, waterfall, and hot springs.

They also took me to the airport for free, moreover Juliana take me stop by the African art gallery and explain the whole things about the gallery
When the middle of going to the airport
I'm sorry I couldn't share a meal with them
If my friend is going to book a safari tour in Tanzania, I would 100% recommend here
Anna and Juliana must be angels from the Heaven

A new African family plus VIPs feeling ( safe and exciting adventure)
If you want to be sure everything goes according to your dreams on safari , be sure that choosing Anna and Porcupine expedition is the best you can do. We had beautiful and safe 3 days safari (Serengeti and NgoroNgoro by the tents) and generally a great stay in Arusha and felt like VIPs and a part of the true family at the same time. This is a great value for money. We will recommend it to all our friends and family and who knows maybe come back again to ask Anna and her fantastic doughter Julie to organise our trip to Kilimanjaro? If we only decide to do it we will think of no one else but Porcupine Expedition :-))))))))

An unforgettable journey and an incredible family!
Our safari in Tanzania was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The country is absolutely stunning and should definitely be on your bucket list! A special mention goes to Ngorongoro, which is truly magical. We were lucky enough to see all the big five and witness some breathtaking sights.
Anna is an amazing person, so helpful and kind. We had issues with our luggage due to an airline error, and she went above and beyond to resolve the problem. We completely relied on her, and she made sure we enjoyed our trip under the best possible conditions. Juliana was so lovely and attentive, ensuring we arrived and departed comfortably.
The level of hospitality from this wonderful family was truly unique. Go without hesitation—it’s 100% recommendable!

Definitely coming back
Absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, the safari was beyond my expectations. The wildlife was stunning, but what made this trip truly unforgettable was the care and warmth of Anna and her daughter, Juliana.
Anna ensured every detail was perfect, while Juliana went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. We bonded so much during the trip that we became like sisters. She was always by my side, making sure I was okay and sharing laughs and stories along the way. It felt less like a tour and more like an adventure with family.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience with people who genuinely care, this is it. Highly recommend!

Fantastic
We had an incredible welcome with Mama Anna and her lovely family. You are incredible!
Impeccable care and lovely staff.
Even after a breakdown in the middle of the savannah, everything was resolved very quickly given the context.
We were lucky enough to see all the animals expected and more!!
Night at the campsite in the middle of the park and zebras.
We lived a dream.
Obviously a big thank you to our cook Paolo it was great.
Asante sana Mama Anna <3
