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!

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！

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.

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!

An extraordinary wildlife experience
What an extraordinary experience. My friend and I joined a 5-day safari visiting Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire national park. The communication beforehand was timely and adequate. The trip was well organized and thus transpired smoothly. Our Safari experience was especially succesful due to the amazing guiding and driving by Mr. David, and the delicious cooking by Mr. Philip. David is an experienced safari guide and can thus provide ample information and interesting stories of previous safaris. Philip made sure we always had tasty, wholesome food which was a true blessing after a long day of game drives. The flora and fauna of the parks was astonishingly beautiful, yet the safari would not have been the same without David and Philip. Asante sana kaka!!

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.

7 days safari:Tarangire,Lake Manyara,Serengeti,Ngorongoro
I had a wonderful experience with the Foot Slopes team who kept me comfortable and satisfied.The communication via email prior the safari was excellent. Almost every time i sent a message to Foot Slopes I received a reply the same day.Upon arrival, pick-up at the airport was smooth and tour group was able to arrange for in-town transportation for us as we had a full day in Arusha before the start of our safari. The driver (Thomas:the best driver i know!)was professional and Footslopes arranged for a good price. I visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara..and i saw the big five.The safari vehicle was nice and comfortable with a pop-top to be able to take good pictures of the animals. This is a budget safari and I slept in a tent in the open fields.The chef was very good and served us some very good things to eat. I can definitely recommend their services to anyone who likes to deal with solid and professional companies
Thank you Foot Slopes Tours&Safaris!!!
The wildlife and bird watching was excellent in all of the parks we visited. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about animals and birds
