4-Day-Safari
+ Tangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti Park: all worth seeing!!!
+ good accomodation
+ on time (which is not status quo) in Tanzania
+ Guide did a good job (Big 5, ...)
+ Cook did a good job: partly african food, partly european (e.g. spagetti) with an african touch
- mattress and sleeping bags were VERY used and partly disgusting !!!
Advice customers: You'll need more than an inlay sleeping bag for ngorongoro Crater (over 2000m above sea level on the rim, where you will spend the night)
Adive for Foot Slope: a camping mat is cheap and definitely more hygienic since you can wipe it quickly with something to clean it.
I would book Foot Slopes again and I will recommend it! BUT with an own sleeping bag :)

Very responsive agency and flexible on dates
Footslopes have been very responsive in emails and whatsapp. They are an agency that puts groups together and that has been a great experience because we met lovely people and the timing works for the 3 separate groups that we had. (5 of us) The arrangements included airport transfers, accommodation for the night before and the last night which we found to be very helpful in terms of having it all being taken care of. We opted for a budget package and were put up at Venice Hotel, clean, close to market and friendly staff.
Eric from footslopes was very friendly at the pickup and also was accommodating on the questions we had around the safari. He was also easily contactable via whatsapp/email and responded very quickly. The guide and cook were very good and we started our days on time and very early to make most of each day. Thomas, our guide, was also a very careful driver and very aware of park rules. He is also amazing at spotting animals from afar, almost like having bionic eyes!
As we were on our honeymoon, we were pleasantly surprised by being put up at a lodge at the end of our trip. A very kind and generous arrangement by Eric. It was a much welcomed gesture after a few days of camping. (Also first time camping since high school!)
One thing to be aware of is the payment arrangements culture where it is all settled upfront. (For Park fee payments, supplies, etc). Coming from an environment where payment is made in stages or when services have been received, it was something to get used to. Eric did a good job reassuring us and it was all hakuna matata after all.

Amazing experience! Safe and fun!
It was fantastic we were picked up at the airport, all accommodations taken care of, and brought back to the airport. All questions were answered quickly and I even forgot my IPod in the Safari vehicle and they mailed it back to me.

Flexible and professional
- Really easy to communicate prior the trip (WhatsApp, e-mail etc)
- Great and professional safari guides - and the best addition is that they also have common dinner with you in the evenings and chat about Tanzania, history, politics, nature etc.
- Normal price compared to other safari providers
- Tasty food
- Good cars
- Flexible - if you decide during the trip that you'd like to extend the safari for more days, all is possible

AMAZING
We spend two days on safaris and we were 3 girls !
It was a very good experience ! They booked everything, they are so Professional !
A driver came at the Airport and drove us to our hostel ! A guy from Foot slopes came to visit us and explain everything about the safari. We paid when we arrived at the hostel by VISA card. The safari was just AMAZING , we had a guide (Ask for sebastian) who was so passionate by animals. He had a story for each animals ! We spend the night in the camp site, foot slopes prepared everything (tents, sleepbag...) ! Lunch box and food at the campsite was good !
It was a good period, because there were not too much tourists !! Good memories !
Obvioulsy , i RECOMMEND them.

VEry good staff
I spent three days in Tanzania, having spent a day on a safari, a day in a Masai village and a day on kilimanjaro, and everything went very well.
The pic-nic was good and with enough food, worth having been the exact same "menu" in the three days.
The person in charge of the company received us on the day of arrival and at the end of each day of activities.
In terms of follow-up during activities, we can say that they have sinned but by excess, since we were only a couple and we had three guides.
I advise choosing this company for a few days in Tanzania.
From Portugal.
Amazing safari organised by Foot Slopes Tours.
Me and my girlfriend had the most amazing safari organised by Foot Slopes Tours!
They made sure everything was well arranged and their communication great.
We would definitely recommend this tour operator if you are looking for an affordable but great safari experience.

Very good experience
from the beginning, foot slopes has proved to be trustworthy, with very quick and helpful replies to our questions sent via email. On site, they have kept up with the good work and we actually didn't have any trouble during our safari. Also, we received a free upgrade in a luxury lodge in serengeti.
The guide, kindu, did his job. However, as, I presume, he had some issues with other guys that joined my group, he was not very communicative in presence of this people.
Overall, foot slopes made a great job

Amazing experience
I had an amazing time with the company. They were much more than I could ask for. Tour in Tarangire was one of the best moments of my life and Paul the guide knew many stuff about each animal and was really fun to spend time with him. In case I decide to do safari in Africa again, I will definitely go with this company again.
