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 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.

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.

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 :)

Great company and awesome experience!
Our tour with foot slopes in tansania was amazing and everything worked out perfectly well. Gabriel, the owner of foot slopes, took care of all our wishes and needs and made sure that we had an incredible experience without any problems. The transportation was always on time, the food during the tour was delicious and all accomodations were clean and welcoming. Due to the small group they were flexible on timing according to our wishes. As they are a rather small company, foot slopes is very concerned about every individual tour, that's why I highly recommend this company over bigger safari companies in tansania. Thank you from Austria for the amazing experience!

Amazing 7 Day Trip with Foot Slopes Tours
This Safari went over and above our expectations, Perfect organization, very nice and qualified guiding crew. Foot Slopes Team did a great job sorting the trip out, from start to finish and was very prompt at returning my emails on the same day. Kindu our driver and guide was excellent! Very professional, friendly and super accommodating. With more than 15 years’ experience and still a great passion for nature and wildlife, you couldn't have to ask for any superior. The campsite we stayed in along the way were great, the service and food was very tasted
We are already trying to decide when we can come back and do more, and we will defiantly be using Foot Slopes Tours again.
From the first steps of planning up to the last transport to the hotel at the end to drop off at the airport, everything was perfectly organized by Foot Slopes Tours. With Kindu we had a very qualified and friendly guide and driver and Seif who cooked a very delicious food for us. Thank you, Foot Slopes Tours and Team for all this wonderful experience we will never forget
We thank you again for such great tour

Great value for money
Communications were great with foot slopes. We got picked up and dropped off at the airport and they provided us with 2 extra nights at the hotel free of charge. The hotel in Arusha (Venice Hotel) was clean, had AC and even hot showers. The food was average but this was to be expected. The safari itself was excellent. Be prepared to spend a lot of time in the jeep getting to and between different parks. Having said that our driver had 15 years of experience which meant that we saw all the animals (including the big 5) we wanted to and had a fantastic time.

Good Budget Safari
Communication with company was very good prior to safari. They were quickly responsive to any question that we had. 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 was professional and Footslopes arranged for a good price.
Footslopes walked us to an ATM machine and helped us pick out SIM cards and then properly load them on our phones. This was really appreciated.
The safari vehicle was nice and comfortable with a pop-top to be able to take good pictures of the animals.
The wildlife and bird watching was excellent in all of the parks we visited. Our guide was quite knowledgeable about animals and birds.
This is a budget safari and if you're not as worried about dining selections and hot water and more worried about animals and birding, then this is the safari for you.
We do recommend this tour but with the knowledge that it is a budget/value option.
