The Best Experience
This was probably the best trip, and we thought that it would be a group safari, and it turned out to be private. It was luxury. The lodges were marvelous and the food delicious. We stayed at two wonderful lodges and two comfortable tented camps. We had the best driver guide and he knew exactly where to go to see action! We saw adult and baby giraffe, lions, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, gazelles and baboons and many more. Most amazing trip.

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.

nice trip
Our 6-days safari of veterinarians with Safarihub through Taranagire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti NPs and through Ngorongoro crater conservation area was a wonderful, stunning and breathtaking experience.

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

Hakuna Matata!
It took me a while to write this as I was busy travelling elsewhere after my safari trip. My contact with Safarihub was first made in February 2018. Usually we arrange our own itinerary and etc but since this would be our very first safari as well as trip to Africa , we decided to contact few operators to arrange the trip after we made up our mind that we gonna do our first safari (perhaps the only one) in Serengeti (bucket list item) last June 2018.
Not only Safarihub was among the fastest who reached us via email but I was pleased with them (especially Vummy) who helped to clarify everything be it from vaccinations, visa and etc (her patience and attention to even the smallest of details were outstanding compared to others who just want to close the deal asap). FYI, I had like an over 80 plus email correspondence with Vummy! Talk about me being a perfectionist and constant worrier! But I glad to have all details mapped out because the moment we settled for the deposit payment, I hardly in contact with Vummy up until the moment we managed to convince another couple (my wife’s boss actually with the wife) to join us. Having dealt with Vummy before, “hakuna matata” (no problem).
I would like to say the service is excellent be it from airport transfer, accommodation, halal food arrangement, vehicle, game drive throughout the safari. Anthony, our safari guide also very informative and very patience person. We managed to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo) in the wild during the entire trip (exception for rhinoceros as we saw them in the Ngorongoro conservation area) and we truly appreciate seeing them out in their own habitat. Our last day in Tarangire, Anthony with the help of fellow guides managed to spot three cheetahs (wow they are hard to spot even at the location itself) and that truly made our day.
We did our safari mid June but only saw a portion of the migration (well you win some, you lose some) and also opted for the Serengeti balloon trip, another highlight of the trip where we saw the endless Serengeti. Honestly speaking, safari in Serengeti for me is at another level compared to our previous trips (sunset in Santorini, watching northern light under the cold night in Tromso, husky safari in Alta City, whale watching in Husavik, Iceland road trip and etc).
No doubt there are some hiccups (very minor as there is no such thing as perfection) but it is more like suggestions to improve their services/offerings which I will glad to convey to the management directly. But like i said, nothing major.
To Vummy, her supervisor Victoria (who took the effort to call me in London to clear the air on some negative comment on them) our driver/guide Anthony, we cannot thank you enough to give us a memorable safari trip. I wish you the best in all your undertakings.
To others, if you are going for safari in Africa especially for the very first time, please have a chat with Safarihub and rest assured, you are well taken care of. On Africa, to say we like it is an understatement. We love it and intend to do another safari trip in other African countries in the future, in shaa Allah.
