3 days safari tour - foot slopes
This safari tour was perfect. All begin with the online discussion on the web page, where you can gain all information you need before spending the money. The you are picked up from the airport by the owner (included) and taken to the hotel in the middle of the arusha where you sleep night before and night after the safari tour (both nights included). In the morning the guide takes you directly from the hotel. We have made 3 dayes safari with tarangire, ngorongoro crater and lake manyara. The guide in the jeep is communicative and educated to answer all questions.We had the budget version with the sleep in the tents in the camp between the parks (with swimming pool), which was very nice and we liked the "family" dinner with the other safari guests (like 10 people).
I would definitelly reccoment this company becouse of the very reasonable price and mainly the personal approach of all the staf, who really try to you enjoy the safari.

Great experience
Overall a great experience with Foot Slopes. They answered all my questions before the start of safari promptly and provided the service just as promised. Our driver Juma was amazing. He had great knowledge of all the animal and plant species. I went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Maybe all the safari operators can think of ways to imrove food as some people had stomach issues, but Foot Slopes was great in taking care of people who had any health issues. I totally recommend it.

Supersafari
We booked our 6 days safari through Foot Slopes. They responded very fast on every e-mail I sent. The feeling was just good. And ofcourse, they did offer the trip we wanted against a good price. Including airport pickup, hotelstay before and after the trip.
They hired another company (guide and cook) to organize our trip. They were absolutely fantastic! The best guide you can wish for. Very experienced and a genuine person. Our cook was great, he made delicious food.
Because Foot Slopes hired another company for our trip, there we no towels as promised and no unlimited water. This was not really a problem. We organized it ourselves. But is felt ackward towards our guide.
We had an amazing trip and saw the Big 5!

Great value for money and first class service
We did a three day safari round Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Manyara reserve. Top quality jeep with friendly and knowledgeable guide called John. He was a good and safe driver which was good as there are some nutters out there!! We had a number of requests to stop at various shops etc. and it was no trouble at all. John spent lots of time driving round the parks to spot animals and communicated with other guides to find good areas to head to.
Our accommodation was upgraded to luxury tents which was a real treat as had proper beds and a shower room & toilet out back.. All food and water provided. Quality hot meal for breakfast and dinner. Lunch was a pack up that was traditional African food so not amazing yet enough to get us by with a juice. On the last day John also arranged for us to have a tour of a Masai village so we got to see their huts and way of life.
Overall a great experience and one I would recommend. The hotel in Arusha the night before/after was of a good standard yet probably only a 2* in the U.K. so don't set expectations high. It was called Arusha tourist inn and food was poor so perhaps get a taxi to a local restaurant if you want to eat out when there - we went to Fifi's coffee house and it was great. I didn't feel safe walking in darkness in arusha so taxi a must. Enjoy!!

Great safari experience in Tanzania with Foot slopes.
Me and my boyfriend were in November on a 3-days Safari with Foot slopes. We visited Ngorongo crater, Manyara Lake and Tarangire. It was great. Everything was good planed. They picked us up on Arusha airport and brought us to our hotel. The next morning the safari started. Our driver was really kind, communicative and he also knew many things. The accomodation camp was great. It was clean and nice, all people were helpful, always smilling and kind. I would always go with them again.

Remarkable experience from start to finish
We had an absolutely wonderful time on safari and would highly recommend Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris team especially having Gideon for a guide. We could not have asked for a better trip; our experience far exceeded our expectations. Gideon was extremely knowledgeable and it was very interesting to learn more about Africa especially Tanzania as a country and about the animals as we were traveling. Not only was Gideon excellent at been able to find the animals, but would also get us in a position to take fabulous photos. His English was very good and he was a fun person to be around.
Also, it was a great experience dealing with Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris. They were very attentive to our needs, and very prompt in answering all our questions. We was very pleased with all the arrangements that were made. We also, appreciated being given choices to accommodate our budget. And, the overall expense for the trip was much less than what I have heard others have paid, and in comparison to others online.
They took as from the hotel and the safari started. Foot Slopes takes from and to the airport which is 1 hr drive from Arusha for free. The company is responsible and serious. I have to highlight that there is no need to book hotels by yourself before/after the trip. Foot Slopes provides comfortable accommodation before and after. The price is included in the tour offer.
But there is always possibility to make your own booking for a family or friends.
I highly recommend Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris

Wonderful safari!
This was our first experience in a safari and we choose Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris. We had a 6 days safari in the North of Tanzania (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater) + 6days base climb to the Kilimanjaro and 1 day to the hotsprings.
We think that the support from Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris gave us was excellent from the very first day when we ask a quote via email. All of them have always been very helpful. Since day 1, when we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport, we realized that our guide Innocent & Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris team was great people.
During our 5 days safari Innocent was amazing: good driver, excellent and very patient in spotting animals, very knowledgeable about nature/animals, an incredibly nice person and always ready to help us in case we needed. Cook was so amazing, food was so great, Last but not least, we had a lot of fun together.
They pick up and drop us at the airport and they give us 2 nights accommodation in the hotel
Summarizing, we definitely recommend Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris for your safari in Tanzania.

Very nice but...
I booked my safari tour through Mohji website. The communication was very nice and easy, I received quick and clear answers to all my questions before, during and after the trip! I did 2 days safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The first day was perfect: good guide, good food, perfect organization, wonderful Park etc. The second was a bit harder: I planned to take my flight at Kilimandjaro airport after visitting Ngorongoro, and this was more difficult. We were all in a hurry because I had to take my flight, so the other ones, who had no flight to take, felt a bit frustrated to have to go fast sometimes. On my side, I was feeling guilty for the others, and I was quite stressed, because the guide wanted to satisfy the others, and we left the Park at 4PM (it was originally planned to leave it around 2PM so that I have time to reach the airport). The guide kept telling me: no worries, you have time! So in the end, I wanted to arrive at Kilimandjaro airport at 7.30 and we only arrived in Arusha around 7 (still more than 1 hour to reach the airport). They then provided me with a cab that drove super fast in order to arrive on time, I was super scared because it was night, and we sometimes drove at 100km per hour, slaloming between the cars. I arrived just at the end of the check-in, just on time.
So the only problem I really found was that mismatch between people having plenty of time and wanting to enjoy their safari, and me having to take my flight while they told me that would be no problem. Except this, everything was fine, nice and well organized. I can just recommend you not to include a safari day the day you have your flight, even if you are said it will be easy.

Best safari company with the best driver
Footslopes company respond to every email really fast, they listened to out wishes and they organized the best safari! We had the best driver Hilary - he's funny, he jokes a lot but also he knows a lot of stuff about animals and knows where to find them. We saw 3 huntings in 4 day safari, a big migration and a lot of baby animals, all thanks to Hilary. All camps were perfectly fine and the food was delicious.
