Great People, Fantastic Service
Our Guides were wonderful and it was definitely an experience to remember. The people we met on the trip were fantastic as well! Also, they found a camera that we lost on the last day and arraigned for it to meet us in Johannesburg before we flew home. A beautiful time to in a beautiful place.

Tour Addo Elephant Park
Personal, professional and attentive to details, this tour orchestrated an amazing adventure! Went to Addo Elephant Parka while ago and it truly was terrific. Our tour guide Benji was amiable, very knowledgable, organised and humorous. I strongly recommend. Our trip was absolutely amazing and definitely ‘an experience of a lifetime’!
Holiday of a lifetime.
I have just enjoyed a wonderful safari holiday with my family and have nothing but praise for the company and staff.
We had an excellent guide and driver in James. When he promised leopards and lions etc., he delivered. Nothing was too much trouble. If he heard us say elephant or giraffe we immediately drove to find them.
We stayed in the lovely Sopa Lodge where the staff again were so kind.They baked a cake for my son's birthday and danced round the whole dining room to deliver it to the delight of all the guests.
I would encourage everyone to consider them when booking a safari holiday. You made my dreams come true.

Very good return on price, cheap and as good as the others
I went for a 3 days Tarangyre, Ngorongoro & Manyara with Arusha Expedition & Safari
Everything was perfect, I slept in a wonderful Lodge with view on Lake Manyara 2 nights. I was almost alone, and I paid only 806 €. Other agency were asking arround 1,200 €.
So, very good bargain, I recommend.

Amazing Safari - life long memories!
Our guide Eli, was amazing, kind and very patient. We´'re big phography fans (though amateurs), so he's patience for waiting 20' in the very same spot until we got the picture we wanted was a huge plus for us in our safari. The parks (Serengueti, Ngorogoro, and Tarangire) we visited and the lodges (Coffee Lodge, Tree Tops, the Manor and Pioneer Camp) we stayed at were astonishing and beyond our expectations.
It was no doubt the trip of a lifetime!

Great value and service on a budget
This was our first-ever safari in Tanzania (females, 60 and 35). We arranged a 4-day safari through the company starting at Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, Ngorogoro Crater and then added another day for a guided hike on Kilimanjaro.
We were originally going to join a group, but when we arrived they let us know that the other group had decided to start earlier, so we would have the safari experience and the guides to ourselves. This was a huge plus!
The guides were friendly and polite. Their primary language is Swahili and command of English varied but each spoke at least one other language fluently. Freddy, our driver and primary guide (fluent English), was great! He handled the roads like a pro (not always common in Africa). He loves the animals and knows a lot about them and the areas. Sante (basic English and fluent in French) was a whiz at identifying birds. They brought along animal and bird books so we could learn more if we desired. Godfrey (fluent English and Spanish) was our cook and the meals were delicious. There was a ton of food at every meal and each evening, a bottle of wine. The type of food was right for the trip, things that would fill you up and be easy on the tummy, and lots of fresh fruit.
The trip provides great value for the money. Airport transportation was included as well as our stay at Arusha Tourist Inn the night before and after the safari. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were included during the safari. We expected to camp every night and were pleasantly surprised that the first night was spent in a small hotel along the way, right outside Lake Manyara (they are trying this out and hoping to offer it permanently soon). The hotels weren’t fancy but they were satisfactory, clean, free Wi-Fi and the staff at each place were helpful and gracious. At the hotel and at Ngorogoro campsite there is internet (slow, but free) which was a huge plus. Serengeti and Ngorogoro campsites are clean and well maintained (Ngorogoro had ample hot water for all the ladies but get an early start for the “best” shower stall) and you meet travelers from other safaris in the large, covered dining areas - all the companies use the same camping areas.
They provided all the camping supplies – pad, sleeping bag, and tent but make sure you bring your own bath towel, torch/flashlight and pillow. The guides made sure of our safety and that we knew what to do if we saw an animal in camp.
Our experience on the Kilimanjaro hike was equally great. Nico was our guide and made sure we had a great experience and our safety was paramount. He patiently navigated us through a treacherous, slippery descent to the Marangu waterfall. Lunch was provided and it was robust and tasty. We didn’t realize that past certain elevations it is more likely to rain and we didn’t have rain gear but between Nico was prepared with umbrellas.
The biggest highlight is how much this company cares about you having a positive experience. Gabriel briefed us before we left, and listened and asked questions upon our return about what they could do to improve the experience and quality. The guides were open and responsive to feedback. They have young guides, but the plus of this is they haven’t lost their enthusiasm or energy and really love the job. If you’re on a budget, this company is the way to go.

A first-rate business that delivered a memorable safari
From the first meeting with Hennie we were impressed with his enthusiasm and integrity in all our dealings with Fleet Foot Safaris. Once we had an idea of which areas of Botswana were feasible, Hennie soon sent us a preliminary tour itinerary package and quote set out with good descriptions of each day's expectations, travel milage and the accommodations. We are senior citizens and Hennie assured us that he could offer us what he called a 'non-participatory safari' which means that we ate (Hennie is a gourmet chef and braai master), but we did not cook, we camped, but the team set up the camp and tents, we had game drives, but did not have to do the driving and navigating! Hennie arranged a good mix of wild camping and accommodation in Botswana's tourist lodges which gave us a taste of both worlds. We experienced what the Okavango Delta had to offer, camped in the Kwai Community area, travelled through Savuti, enjoyed a game drive and river cruise on the Chobe River, marveled at the Victoria Falls and were surprised at the silence and expanse of the Makgadikgadi Pans. We would recommend Fleet Foot Safaris to anyone who is interested in a trip though Botswana or for that matter anywhere that they offer tours or safaris.

Greatest adventure and outstanding service!
Our guide, James, did everything in his power to guarantee that we would see the big 5, and so we did!
The pick up time was perfectly on time, the car we used was safe as a rock, the food provided was delicious and our guide, one of the most experienced in the field, with 20 years of safaris on his back, knew how to answer all our questions and give us extra insight on the wildlife we were observing.
Also the price-quality ratio was exceptional compared to other saafris we heard of. Will definitely recommend it!!
