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.

Woderful and super kind
Anna and her daughter Juliana
Was super kind
Before safari tour
She lent me a pillow and a
telescope for free and gave me a full refund when the hot air balloon tour I booked was canceled due to the weather
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

Unforgettable and magical trip to the Serengeti
When I was preparing to undergo a safari deep in the Serengeti, I was initially overwhelmed by the sheer amount of tour groups and places to go. Let me make life simple for you - Porcupine Expeditions is undoubtedly the way to go! The respect, kindness, and friendships that they provide are truly unforgettable and make this an exceptional experience. I had the honor of working with Mama and hearing her story about what it means to be a "porcupine"; small, but fierce and protecting. Rather than branding the safari group as a proud lion or a dangerous cheetah, the philosophy behind Porcupine Expeditions is one of compassion and family. Here are a few reasons why this safari will change your life:
- The guides are knowledgeable, down to earth, and friendly. On this trip, I got very close with Jonas (tour guide) and Paulo (chef). Jonas would point out animals and share fun facts that kept us all entertained. From stories of culture and history to tunes filled with Bongo flavor, Jonas made this trip one of a kind. We had late night talks watching a vast field of stars. Paulo, the chef, taught me to cook local dishes like Jagera and Ugali. Chopping vegetables, stirring soups, and hearing about his experiences was eye opening. We also smashed charcoal blocks to bake bread and used different methods to disinfect the water. The trip was both culturally enriching and fulfilling for wildlife exploration!
- This trip is friendly for solo travelers. Coming alone from the US, I was worried that it would be dangerous to go to the Serengeti alone. Mama and her family made sure that I was taken care of, fed, and safe. She constantly went out of her way to check that I was enjoying the trip and taking care of myself! Even after the expedition, Mama will update me on her life to keep tabs. The friendliness, warmth, and compassion are something you won't find on other expedition groups. Our safari became a family road trip.
- Of course, the wildlife is breathtaking. Lions, hippos, warthogs, baboons. Anything you could imagine would just be an arms length away! Once you see the world, you will realize just how beautiful and majestic our home is.
This is a wonderful experience that I would recommend to ANYONE! I am excited to book another tour and bring my family to Tanzania to meet my African family: Porcupine Expeditions! To the Porcupine team - I will see you soon!
They made us feel at home and very especial
The communication was quick and effective. They answer any question and give us excelent advice.
The service was beyond expectations, the took care every minute we were with them.
Transfers, accommodation and food, excellent.
The safari itself was the best I ever had. Serengeti, tarangire are not to be missed.
Thank you Anna and Juliana for such a great experience.
We saw all kind of animals in great abundance and all the time.

The best experience with the best company
If you want to have an unforgettable experience, go on your safari with Porcupine Expeditions. Initially, we booked for 3 days, but with the amazing service and facilities provided by Ana and Juliana, we ended up staying for 6 days. We’ll definitely be back. 200% recommended. Thank you so much for everything, ladies!
