Top Sites in Nairobi in Two Days
We arranged two days of activities via email, one day in Nairobi National Park and the other at the Giraffe Center, Elephant orphanage, Karen Blixen Museum, and the Kazuri Bead Factory. Everything exceeded to our expectations. All of our friends are fascinated by our pictures from Nairobi National Park. Kelvin shared his pictures with us too which was great! We enjoyed his company thoroughly and recommend him whole heartily to provide a fantastic experience seeing the sites in Nairobi.

The Trip of A Lifetime at Excellent Value
There are two Africas: one where Westerners see exotic wild animals in
safari parks, explore natural wonders and natural beauty, are waited on
in resorts with gourmet meals. The other Africa is the real Africa, of
everyday people striving to survive, of farmers and herdsmen, of
students off to class, of arguing politics in roadside bars over a
Tusker, of motorcycles and diesel trucks, of delays and happy surprises.
Trip Advisor Africa Safaris is the best way to see both Africas. The
Africa of television and movies and novels, and the Africa of the people
who live there.
For years my wife and I wanted to visit East Africa, and after some
research and comparisons of itineraries and cost,Trip Advisor Africa
Safaris won out for a 16-day trip covering Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Our trip covered a majority of the parks allowing us to see the Big Five
(including the elusive Black Rhino!), the Big Seven, Southern White
Rhino, birds galore, and a trek into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to
view Gorilla's at close range. All-in-all, they delivered a
unforgettable trip.
The key difference between Trip Advisor Africa Safaris and other tours
is that we traveled by land, stopping in towns and cities along the way,
not just seeing animals, but observing Africans in their day-to-day
activities and understanding their way of life. Other safaris whisk
visitors across the country from park-to-park in bush planes and wind up
seeing little of what lies between. Those safaris seem just an expensive
visit to the zoo. I have great memories of this trip, many of the
animals, but many more of the people and places we saw along the way.
Our drivers were fantastic, Jack ,Kim , and Fredrick felt like close
friends by trips end. They made sure we were taken care of and safe.
Mindful of everything from finding a secluded grassy spot to go to the
washroom, to not taking pictures of the power plant or they'll take your
camera, to earning a red banana for every rare animal you spot. The
drivers were knowledgeable and kind and always looking out for our best
interest. My sincerest thanks to them all!
Our sincerest thanks as well to Nairobi office under the boss Seth
Vincent, for arranging the trip, providing wonderful drivers, and
getting us around the region and back to the airport early for our
flight home!
Lastly, A few small logistics and items of note. Trip Advisor Africa
Safaris, provided a mix of accommodation types varying from tented
camps, to local hotels, to five star resorts. Meals were provided, but
drinks were extra. Tipping is an art all its own, so make sure you
research what to give to who and when. Their tours can be customized
depending on your interests, preferred accommodation, etc. You need to
book in advance if you want to go gorilla trekking as the permits are
limited and go quickly.

4 day budget safari
Me and my partner went on a group safari, budget camping for 4 days, visiting Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro crater and we had an wonderful experience. Communication with Foot Slopes was very good throughout the booking, they answered our questions always the same days as we sent them. A driver was already waiting for us when we arrived at the airport and took us to Arusha and the rest of the group (we were a total at 6 persons). Our guide Nickson was very professional and patient (though the group sometimes had different opinions about how much time to spend at different places and animals) and did everything he could to make us see many animals as close as possible. We were lucky to spot a rhino our last day so in the end we saw the big 5, we also spotted giraffe, zebra, hippopotamus, cheetah, warthog, hyena, etc etc. The vehicle was comfortable. Food was OK though personally we would prefer to eat something more local as the chef sometimes failed being a bit too ambitious making us fries, pizza and other "western food" when we all were just craving for rice, chapati, curry, veggies or else. After safari Foot Slopes helped us to find a nice budget hotel in Arusha and the day after they drove us back to the airport for no extra cost. In summary we are really pleased with the safari and the excellent service Nickson and the rest of the team from Foot Slopes offered us. We can warmly recommend them. Have in mind before booking the same 4 day budget safari that it's a lot of distance and many hours driving at bumpy rodes if you want to go to Serengeti NP.

Value and service guaranteed!
Dan was excellent in his explanation and understanding of what we needed for our first safari. And Peter our driver was not only knowledgeable
Of species and areas, but very motivated and in constant communication with other game drivers to ensure we saw the animals in the area that day. We were enthralled with the Masai Mara.

My experience
This company directors who are husband and wife make the approach toward human satisfaction very good. Secondly, booking, arrangement for travel, accommodation and food was very convenient for a family like ours. The tour guide was friendly, professional and he made us feel like part of the company.
