Great safari experience with Foot Slopes Tours!
The two of us booked last-minute through Foot Slopes, after we found their website online. Foot Slopes' prices were some of the most affordable out there, and they were extremely responsive to all our questions. They were in frequent touch via Skype and WhatsApp, and we felt secure in their services based on their great reviews on Trip Advisor. It was also a plus that they have a website and Facebook page. We were able to book the 4 day safari with them from North America, without having to send them a deposit or payment in advance. They confirmed the safari closer to the start date, and were incredibly flexible allowing us to change last minute to a 3 day safari (we were exhausted after our Kili climb!). The first and last night's hotel stay was covered as part of our price (at the Tourist Inn hotel - quite lovely and safe!) as was our airport transfer. They were also very receptive to feedback from us related to our experiences with our particular tour guide (nothing major). Overall, it was a good experience! Thanks again Foot Slopes Tours!

What a great experience!
I chose Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris mainly based on the reviews I read online combined with my price level and time schedule. I don't in the least regret it! My two sons and I had a marvelous time on the 5 day Safari we enjoyed with them, with Frederick, our guide and driver, and Action, our cook, who kept us fully fed. We were greeted at the Riverside Bus Station in Arusha in the evening after our six hour trip from the Nairobi airport, taken to a very decent tourist hotel for the night, and met everyone in the morning when we started on our 5 day adventure. Frederick was wonderful and handled those very daunting roads with aplomb, filled us in on everything we needed to know, and was a fun guy to be around. We toured Tarangire, the Serengeti, the Ngorodoro Crater, and Lake Manyara (some of my spellings might be wrong), and saw everything possible (except the Rhino, as Frederick warned us we probably wouldn't). They also included an evening of cultural activities where we toured a woodcarving village and met incredibly talented painters, and were introduced to Banana wine and beer. I will add one caveat: we chose the budget Safari (Camping - but only had one real night of camping for which I was grateful), so don't expect western level accomodations. Also be sure to bring with you spare toilet paper (always keep a roll on your person), and hand sanitizer or wipes (but that applies to most places in Africa!). I highly recommend this tour company; they stayed in touch from the very beginning of my inquiries and through the entire time there. They were all just great! Thank you, guys!

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.

Big five;)
We did a 4 day safari with foot slopes on november 9,2016. There was a group of 6 of us with our guide and driver Omar and cook William.Omar was very knowlegable and patient and answered all of our questions. And thank to him we saw the big five and many many more. Chef was also good and kept us well fed. Nature is gorgeus and it really was like in national geographic. My favorite thing was sleeping in tent souranded with open plains and wild animals. The only thing that could be better is the state of showers and toilets in campsite but that is just the way africa is. Overall we are very satisfied with everything. Thank you
Christmas Safari - Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
We had a wonderful experience with the Foot Slopes team who kept us comfortable and satisfied. We realised we had forgotten our camera battery which could have been a disaster but they organised a new one for us and got it delivered in less than 24hrs!! Godfrey our tour guide and Hamisi our cook were exceptional. They were patient and friendly and went above and beyond the whole trip to make sure we had the very best experience. We were sorry to say goodbye to them in the end. We have had many tour guides throughout our travels and Godfrey ranks among the best!

Great service, affordable prices!
From the very beginning the communication via email was excellent. Almost every time i sent a message to Foot Slopes I received a reply the same day. They took care of everything, starting from picking up from the shuttle bus, arranging a comfortable accommodation in a hotel, organizing the professional staff for both Kilimanjaro trekking and safari trip, everything was exactly as agreed and discussed prior to our arrival to Africa. I can definitely recommend their services to anyone who likes to deal with solid and professional companies.

Good value for price
The company has provided us with a nice safari experience. During the booking the communcation was fast and they provided feedback on a down payment (which we chose to do so we don't have to get a crazy amount of money from the ATM in Tanzania) on their own initiative. Due to the proper communication I already felt the company is trustworthy. The stay in Arusha, included before and after the safari, was properly arranged and went without problems. During the safari we had an excellent driver, Mr. David, who kept the vibe up. He has interesting stories and is nice to talk with. Mr. Philip, who was our chef (or as they call it, the stomach doctor), prepared tastefull food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Portions were also of good size! All in all, our safari with Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris has been an amazing experience.

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！

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!
