Very nice safari, good price
My girlfriend and I went on a 4 day safari, visiting 3 parks: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Trip was well organized and included overnight in the hotel before and after safari. During safari we slept in tents, which were complete. The guide was very good and friendly, drove very well, showed and told us a lot. The cook made us a nice meal three times a day.
In short, very cool trip, complete, well organized and for a good price.

Best safari ever!!
Fredrick, guide/driver, was just excellent. He cared animals above everything else. We enjoyed the way he showed us the region. And he drove a safari car so good we felt safe for the whole journey! Food was also good. They cooked us plenty of food and we were full all the time. It is the best memory in Tanzania. ありがとう！

Incredible 5 day trip with Foot Slopes!
Myself and coworkers went on this trip ahead of a business trip elsewhere in East Africa, and we're all SO happy we did! It was right within our price range and gave us the level of support we needed. David was our driver and he was so wonderful - he was accommodating and very fun throughout the trip, he even spotted a rhino in ngorogoro crater before any other guide that day!! That was the last of the big 5 we needed to see and he was amazing in finding the rhino and then helping us and other groups spot it in the distance. We saw every animal you would want to see multiple times and up very close. Way better than I expected!
The only critique I have is that it would be nice to have a little more information ahead of time on what we're doing, how much to pack, what we should bring along. Sometimes their communication wasn't the best, but overall it was a once in a lifetime trip that didn't break the bank!

Unforgettable experience
We had booked a 4-day safari tour. Communication with Foot Slopes was perfect. All our questions were answered within a very short time.
Arrived in Arusha, we were picked up by the organizer Erik and drove to the hotel. Erik told us everything about the tour and even the city. He was very helpful.
The hotel in Arusha (Tourist Center Inn) was very good and clean. There was hot water.
The next morning we were picked up on time and drove to the group, which started the tour one day earlier.
We had a very experienced driver & Tourguide Mr. Issa. Thanks to him, we have had a great experience. He knew very well in the parks and showed us the best spots.
Also the cook (Philipp) each time prepared 5 star menus from nothing.
The car, tents, sleeping bags were in good condition. The only drawback, in the camps there was only cold water for showering and partly no light.
All in all, the tour was unforgettable and we would definitely recommend Foot Slopes.

Excellent value for money
The communication went very well by e-mail. They reply quickly to all your questions. The guide we had was very pleasant and knew a lot about the animals. He was very good at spotting as well. The cook that joined us was also very good at his job.
We chose the camping formula. I found it very pleasant, but you know you can expert very basic facilities. The atmosphere at the camp grounds is very nice though. It was our best experience during our Tanzania trip, we saw a lot of animals!

Great experience!
I was on vacation in abu dhabi, where my brother lives. And i wanted to go on a safari from their on. A friend of my brother got my in touch with them and from the beginning the contact and service was great!
I’ve been in Tanzania for 5 days. The picked me up from Kilimanjaro airport and brought me to Arusha. I slept in arusha for the night in a good hotel for a good price! The next morning they took me to the camp near all the parks. Everything was arranged great! I had no worries, i felt safe and most important it was on of the best vacations ever! Also during the vacation. I noticed that i had 1 day to kill and i didnt have a place to sleep. So i asker them if they could book an extra night for me in the hotel. That was no problem and they arranged everything for me!
I highly recommend foot slopes to everybody! A great tour operator for a good prixe!

4 day budget safari
Me and my partner went on a group safari, budget camping for 4 days, visiting Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro crater and we had an wonderful experience. Communication with Foot Slopes was very good throughout the booking, they answered our questions always the same days as we sent them. A driver was already waiting for us when we arrived at the airport and took us to Arusha and the rest of the group (we were a total at 6 persons). Our guide Nickson was very professional and patient (though the group sometimes had different opinions about how much time to spend at different places and animals) and did everything he could to make us see many animals as close as possible. We were lucky to spot a rhino our last day so in the end we saw the big 5, we also spotted giraffe, zebra, hippopotamus, cheetah, warthog, hyena, etc etc. The vehicle was comfortable. Food was OK though personally we would prefer to eat something more local as the chef sometimes failed being a bit too ambitious making us fries, pizza and other "western food" when we all were just craving for rice, chapati, curry, veggies or else. After safari Foot Slopes helped us to find a nice budget hotel in Arusha and the day after they drove us back to the airport for no extra cost. In summary we are really pleased with the safari and the excellent service Nickson and the rest of the team from Foot Slopes offered us. We can warmly recommend them. Have in mind before booking the same 4 day budget safari that it's a lot of distance and many hours driving at bumpy rodes if you want to go to Serengeti NP.

A bad organitzacion tour
It was a bad experience.
Every day they come to pick up late, the excursions were different that we read on the tour information. The last day they don't pick up us to take to the airport, we've got to take a taxi after waiting and calling them for more than 30 minutes.
The guides were so kindly and good, but the organitzacion was very bad.

Amazing 7 Day Trip with Foot Slopes Tours
This Safari went over and above our expectations, Perfect organization, very nice and qualified guiding crew. Foot Slopes Team did a great job sorting the trip out, from start to finish and was very prompt at returning my emails on the same day. Kindu our driver and guide was excellent! Very professional, friendly and super accommodating. With more than 15 years’ experience and still a great passion for nature and wildlife, you couldn't have to ask for any superior. The campsite we stayed in along the way were great, the service and food was very tasted
We are already trying to decide when we can come back and do more, and we will defiantly be using Foot Slopes Tours again.
From the first steps of planning up to the last transport to the hotel at the end to drop off at the airport, everything was perfectly organized by Foot Slopes Tours. With Kindu we had a very qualified and friendly guide and driver and Seif who cooked a very delicious food for us. Thank you, Foot Slopes Tours and Team for all this wonderful experience we will never forget
We thank you again for such great tour
