Our Story

Not a tour operator.
A Tanzania family.

Johannes and Jacqueline Weigl started Porcupine Tours because they were tired of seeing Tanzania sold as a commodity. Jacqueline grew up on the slopes of Kilimanjaro; her family have been mountain guides for three generations. This land is in her blood — and every safari she designs reflects that.

  • 3 generations of mountain guide heritage on Kilimanjaro
  • Direct relationships — no middlemen, no agent fees
  • Every booking supports the School of St. Jude, Arusha
  • We only recommend camps we would take our own family to

Loved the tours loved the people from Jackson and Jacqueline for organizing it. Loved everything about this tour and the people enjoyed all the wonderful animals and my tour guides Danford and Jackson were awesome will be back for more next year.

With every interaction with Jacqueline and her husband, I grew happier with our choice. Their responsiveness, itinerary recommendations, and willingness to video call were outstanding. Clear, transparent quotes with no hidden surprises. Simple and trustworthy!
