Plan Your Perfect Tanzania Safari
At Porcupine Tours, we believe every Tanzania safari should be as unique as the traveler embarking on it. When you reach out to us, you're not just booking a tour—you're starting a partnership with a family-run company that combines German precision with Tanzanian hospitality. Our founders, Johannes and Jacqueline Weigl, personally oversee every itinerary to ensure your African adventure exceeds expectations.
What to Expect When You Contact Us
Once you submit your inquiry, our team responds within 24 hours (often much sooner). We'll discuss your travel dates, budget, interests, and safari dreams to craft a personalized itinerary. Whether you're drawn to the Great Migration in Serengeti, the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater, or the pristine beaches of Zanzibar, we tailor every detail to match your vision.
Our consultation process is collaborative and transparent. We provide detailed cost breakdowns, accommodation options at various price points, and honest recommendations based on decades of experience in Tanzania's tourism industry. There's no pressure—just expert guidance to help you make informed decisions about your once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book my safari?
We recommend booking 6-9 months in advance for peak season travel (June-October and December-February). This ensures availability at premium lodges and camps. However, we can often accommodate last-minute bookings with 2-3 months notice depending on availability.
What's included in your safari packages?
Our safaris typically include all park fees, accommodation, meals as specified, professional guide services, 4x4 safari vehicle with pop-up roof, and airport transfers. International flights, visas, travel insurance, and personal expenses are not included. Each itinerary page lists specific inclusions and exclusions.
Can you customize any of your itineraries?
Absolutely! Every safari we offer can be customized to your preferences. Want to add extra days in Zanzibar? Prefer luxury tented camps over lodges? Interested in gorilla trekking in Uganda? We'll adjust any itinerary to match your travel style, budget, and timeline.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. We typically require a 30% deposit to confirm your booking, with the balance due 60 days before departure. We accept bank transfers and can provide invoices for your records. Payment terms are clearly outlined in your personalized quote.
What makes Porcupine Tours different from other safari operators?
We're a family-run business with deep roots in both Germany and Tanzania. Jacqueline's Tanzanian heritage provides insider access and cultural authenticity, while Johannes brings German organizational excellence. We donate to the School of St. Jude, supporting education for underprivileged children. You'll work directly with the owners—no middlemen, no call centers, just personal attention.
What languages do you speak?
Our team is fluent in English, German, and Swahili. This makes us particularly popular with German-speaking travelers seeking authentic Tanzania experiences, but we warmly welcome guests from all countries. Communication is never a barrier with Porcupine Tours.
