full of amazing experiences
Generally everything went to plan. Foot Slopes Tours & Safaris were prompt to reply to emails before the safari and very helpful while in Arusha. Our driver and guide, Kindu, was polite, helpful and knowledgeable. Our accommodation was comfortable and the food was tasty. Even when we were help up in Ngorongoro with a torrential downpour the experience was amazing. If I had made list before I came, all the boxes would have been ticked. It does pay to remember that it is Africa, relax and enjoy and keep a sense of humour.
They were extremely helpful with some of my other failed travel arrangements, sorted out my new bus ticket.
Great job.

Amazing Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara tour
I took part in the Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara 2 days safari.
The staff was very kind to us, and the tour, which include airport pick up and drop off service, was so comfotable and enjoyable.

It couldn’t have been better than what Isaiah arranged for us
We did 3 day trip to mikumi national park with Kihindo. Isaiah made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying every hour of our trip. The accommodation, food and safari everything was excellent. We loved the hike to uluguru mountains to chooma waterfalls. Though it was raining but Isaiah kept motivating us and took extra effort for us to complete the hike.
We will definitely choose to plan our trips with Kihindo.

Professional, affordable and very kind!
My extended family and I went on 2 separate trips with Kihindo Tours & Safaris. The first was with some family members who were visiting Tanzania and the other was with Tanzanian residents. We planned both safaris fairly last minute... but Kihindo was absolutely the best choice to go for, here's why:
1. Isaya's communication was phenomenal. He was very quick to answer all my questions and responded to my ever-changing requests for packages. Even the night before we went on Safari, I had a last-minute request and he quickly helped us to get it sorted. During both tours, Isaya also regularly checked to ensure everything was going well.
2. The safaris were very affordable. I did a bit of shopping around and I can say without a doubt that Kihindo Tours & Safaris provided the best value for money.
3. The tours themselves were absolutely fantastic. We all had a great time seeing all the animals and the stunning landscape. The tours were also child and baby friendly (with a car seat provided upon request). We were provided with all we needed - food, drinks, music, etc... and our guide frequently asked us if we needed anything. The hotels we stayed at were also comfortable and spacious.
4. Our guide Mdee was fantastic!!! He was very knowledgeable, safety-conscious, friendly and entertaining. He ensured we were comfortable and that we had all we needed. He was also quick to solve any problems that came up which showed resilience and professionalism.
Overall we all had a FANTASTIC experience and look forward to more safaris and tours with them. We would highly recommend Kihindo Tours & Safaris to anyone looking to tour Tanzania!

A perfect tour.
When we got to zanzibar there was a driver waiting for us out of the airport. We saw a lot of animals during the safari tour. The meals were not very good.

Fantastic 5 day camping safari with an excellent guide!
Our group of 6 --> Footslopes tour: Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Arusha National Park 5 day safari.
The BEST part about this tour was our guide Nixon. I had seen his name mentioned in the tripadvisor reviews but you have to truly meet the man to appreciate his awesomeness. He was full of energy and truly loves his job as a safari guide. Beyond studying wildlife management at university, he is planning to get more training as a safari guide in a summer course to be, in his words, “even better.” He has the eagle eyes required for a guide, is attentive to his clients’ needs, and a warm heart. When I asked him why he chose Footslopes, he said a big reason is that the manager Gabriel is “a good man”. A company where the staff respect each other is sure to provide excellent service, which is what we got!
Highlights:
Comprehensive customer service -
1. Whatsapp messages and emails were replied to within 1 hour. I don't know how they did this, but someone must be always working in the office. My friends from Hong Kong said they also had rapid replies.
2. We got a complimentary pick up by the manager Gabriel and driver Nixon from Haidom, a small town very far from their office from Arusha, where we were doing some medical work. This was included in our safari price, as was a separate airport pickup for one of our party. They also dropped us off at the airport the day after our safari ended and we were all staying in different places. AMAZING.
3. Our cook Rama met my special request and made chapati, a roti-style pancake, on our last day which was delicious!
Competitive pricing -
I had done some field research and asked about 5 other companies for quotes for similar itineraries and Footslopes was by far the most competitive. I learned that it was because they own their own gear, so prices can be quite low for camping. The main office has 10 desk employees, excluding the field operators.
Fabulous itinerary
Totally worth it for 5 days, as each park features slightly different animal viewings. Of course, this is nature, not an enclave! But we saw very different things in each park, including lions hunting and feeding, tree sleeping lions, flocks of flamingos, and of course the hugely entertaining baboons.
Lodging Notes:
1st night at a tented lodge - the tent was comparable in size to our camping tents, with slatted beds. The beds were not my favorite but the view of Lake Manyara was stunning. Also entertaining after dinner show.
2nd night - camping at the Serengeti Nyambi site. There were hyenas at night, a bright full moon and a beautiful sunrise/sunset. SUPER COOL experience. Cold showers + toilets on site.
3rd night - camping at Ngorongoro Hills Simba A site. African buffaloes at night grazing next to our tents, an even larger moon over the mountains, and lukewarm showers.
4th night - a hotel in Arusha (?!?!?!?!) I didn’t realize this was included but the Venice hotel was FABULOUS and the best place I stayed in Tanzania. Really updated interiors, nicely designed mosquito net, new showers with plenty of hot water. The dinner was slow to come out (we missed our camping cook Rama!).
TL:DR;
Safari of the amazing East African wildlife with an BEYOND amazing company and staff. I strongly recommend Footslopes!

Unforgettable experience!
My experience with Foot Slopers Tour & Safaris was amazing.
I organized my holidays in Tanzania by myself and it was hard to find the right safari tour.
After contacting a lot of company I chose Foot Slopers Tour & Safaris as they are really professional, flexible trying to suits my needs ( I had some issue paying the activity in advance from Europe).
The tour itself was amazing. Our guide Victor had good eyes catching animals and we saw all big 5 and lot of other rare to see animals.
I highly recommend this tour, It was an incredible experience!
