EVERYTHING IS JUST PERFECT WITH THEM... ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS JUST WONDERFUL
Anne and her family are able to become your family in just a few days. I never met somebody like them, so passionate in welcoming, caring and making people feeling so confortable and at ease: she and all her family and friends are able to make people feel home even if guests are experiencing something so far from their home… they are so friendly natural spontaneous and caring that you always have the warm feeling of being protected but not in an intrusive way.. on the contrary, they respect privacy and all the cultural differences of their hosts… i have met other people who try to give this feeling to customers, but they seem artificial or just “working” and at the end they seem intrusive and fake…. Anne and her family have something rare and precious that no one else can give for sure: a passion so great and perceivable for what it does not look like a job for them. They really care, the want their hosts to have the most wonderful experience: we did a 3 days safari and we visited tribes along the lake Eyasi and the Materuni waterfalls : in 5 days we spent a lot of time together with them sharing point of views and life experiences, we learnt a lot about tanzanian culture and we became real friends. Everytime we had a doubt or we needed something they took care of everything without any effort, they took a lot of their time to share with us all that they could show about their city and the places we were visiting. All the people that work for Anne are superprofessional and all of them shows the same care for the needs of the guests. Mike the driver at the safari did all he could to let us catch all the animals, going faster than all the other cars we saw to try to be the first in front of the animals, and the chef who was with us managed to satisfy all our needs for our diets. also the driver in the city and to the waterfalls was perfect, frienly and competent on evrything we asked about. all the excursions were amazing experiences. we wish we could have more time to do all the rest they offer. Everything was just wonderful. After this experience with Porcupine Expeditions, i know i have people to visit in Tanzania, and i will do it for sure.

Porcupine Expeditions takes care of you.
We had a wonderful 3-day experience organized by Anna, including Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and a fascinating day touring Mto Wa Mbu. From the moment we landed being picked up at the airport, to leaving the country, Anna and her daughter ensured that we got everything we needed and more. I even broke my phone on our trip, and Anna and her daughter called around to different repair people who could offer the best price and fly in a part from Dar Essalam to Arusha, then took me to the store to get it fixed! We were overwhelmed by their hospitality, making us feel welcome and comfortable in Tanzania. We will never forget our time in Tanzania mainland and will always be grateful for the great time we had there thanks to Porcupine Expeditions 🙏

Incredible team❤️
We had a fantastic time on our 6-day safari. Everything was very well organized, and the communication with Anna was seamless - she was always available to assist us. Anna and her family were incredibly caring and welcoming, making us feel right at home. They were exceptionally generous and ensuring we were well taken care of. Even after the safari ended, they continued to check in, asking if everything was okay and offering their help.
Our tour guide, Jonas, was highly experienced and went above and beyond to create unforgettable memories for us. His instincts and keen eyesight were truly remarkable, allowing us to spot a wide variety of animals. Jonas is like a walking encyclopedia - he knows everything about all the animals, not just the popular ones. He was kind, funny, and did his absolute best to show us as much as possible.
In summary, this was an unforgettable experience, made even better by the incredible care and attention we received from such an attentive company❤️

Amazing experience!
Anna and her family are the most welcoming hosts ever. Anna is extremely helpful and always available to answer questions. She truly went above and beyond to ensure I had an unforgettable trip, even checking in on me after the safari to make sure everything was okay.
Anna’s daughters are also very friendly and made me feel like part of the family. They showed me around the city on the day of my arrival and helped me to get a local SIM card.
The safari was an amazing experience, and I couldn’t have chosen a better tour operator. Thank you, Anna and the team, for helping me to have the most memorable birthday of my life. ❤️

Absolutely fantastic
Anna and her children went above and beyond to welcome us and did everything right to help us organize the perfect safari trip.
We had some awesome local meals at her Inn, had a great guide for safari who is patient and responsible, and with some luck we saw a lot of animals including a glimpse of the migration.
Anna worked so hard to make sure everything goes smoothly for us - she checked in with us to make sure our asks are fulfilled. When we had down time, she also added a new activity for us in town so we get some additional cultural exposure outside of the pre-set itinerary. All these efforts she did it out of her genuine hospitality and kindness.
Highly recommend booking with Anna. This has been an unforgettable experience for us :)

Mama Anna goes the extra mile, and proves she is the mother of Safari
When our bus arrived 3 hours late in Arusha my girlfriend and I were panicking, without any WiFi or mobile service we thought our safari tour was over before it even began. From the moment we got out of the bus Mama Anna and her team got in contact with us and picked us up within a matter of minutes. We were stranded and all alone and Mama Anna saved us and gave us the most unforgettable trip of our lives. Our group were people of our age with whom we still hold contact, the communication went flawlessly, the meals were exquisite and everything was managed to perfection. On top of all of this when we were back from our dream holiday we were met with Mama Anna's daughter and son and their professional driver. We were a little stressed thinking we would not make it in time to the airport in Kilimanjaro and once again Mama Anna and her team proved they will go the extra mile. After a quick dinner they zoomed through the traffic and we were there in no time. Truly an exceptional experience and I recommend everyone to book with Mama Anna, for she truly is the one and only mother of Safari.

Best experience EVER!
Imagine being welcomed and treated like part of the family from the very first moment. Anna and Julianna are examples of wonderful people who do their work with love and treat people with the utmost purity. What's more, they're always there for you, for every question you have and they'll welcome you from the first moment to the last as if you were part of the family. Their care and professionalism is incredible. I celebrated my birthday there and had the best time of my life. They didn't leave me alone for a minute and it was full of nice surprises. If you're traveling alone, there's no doubt that this is the right agency for you to feel safe in Tanzania. Amazing!
