Tarangire and Ngorongoro safari in October
My wife and I did a two day safari in Tanzania, on 13. and 14. of October 2016. as part of our honeymoon trip, and experience was really great, even better than I expected it to be.
We booked the tour with Mojhi.com about one month in advance, and Mojhi team connected us with Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris for further arrangemens concerning pick up, drop off and some safari details. Every step of that process was very smooth and eficient.
I would especially emphasise the effort that Gabriel and the rest of the Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris team made for us to enjoy the safari. Our inbound flight to JRO airport on the morning of the beginning of safari was delayed, so the group we were supposed to join had to leave for Tarangire NP without us. Even so, Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris arranged a special driver to take us to Tarangire so we could join the group and catch up with afternoon game drive through the park. Also, the other day was apparently a national holiday in Tanzania, so there were some complications with making a deposit in a bank, needed in order to get into Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We managed to get in even so, and had a really great day there. After the end of Ngorongoro safari we had to get back to Arusha, while rest of the group was bound to Serengeti, so again they provided a special driver to take us back to Arusha. They did all of that without any additional charge.
We were also very satisfied with accomodation, both the tents in the safari camp in Mto wa Mbu and a hotel in Arusha. Everything essential was provided, meals were served as agreed, so we really had an opportunity to rest and relax properly in both locations.
Our guide was professional and trustworthy and made our game drives even more interesting by providing additional information about the wildlife in the region. He was also very open to make some plan adjustments according to our needs.
Overall, we had an unforgettable experience of safari in Tanzania, and I can fully recommend Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris for thieir friendly and personal approach in organising our wildlife adventure.
Thanks again guys!

The Footslope experience was excellent. Friendly staff, well organised, fab glamping.
The whole experience was excellent. Excellent staff and communications. Loved the whole experience with Footslopes. The guide particularly was very knowledgable and attentive. The tents were so lovely and having one base for the two nights was ace also. The organisation also was spot on.
The only negative for me was the tourist hotel in Arusha and that was a couple of the staff were unfriendly, that was all. Thank you for the experience.

A 3 day safari through 3 national parks.
We were met by Foot Slopes' Gabriel upon arriving in Arusha. He was immediately warm and friendly, and very helpful. He gave freely of his time, even spending an evening out in town with my husband and myself and another couple. He helped us navigate the troublesome banking system, and advised us of a bus we could take on our way out of Arusha.
The 3 day safari was a little different than we expected, in that we were shuffled around into different groups with different drivers for each of the 3 days, however we understood that this was the most effective way to use drivers and vehicles to the maximum. We saw many animals and very much enjoyed the tour. The food was plentiful and dining with the large group of tourists in the evenings was very enjoyable.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
