Fulgence was excellent from the beginning to end, Nothing was too much trouble from chasing our bags that didn’t arrive with us in Kilimanjaro to getting getting one our bags repaired because the zip had broken. His knowledge was just amazing about all the places we visited and the animals we saw. He just seemed to have a sixth sense as to where the animals would be. Still can’t believe just how much wildlife we saw in eight days.

We cannot say enough positive things about Fulgence. He met us at the airport at 1:30am with a smile on his face, getting our relationship off to a great start. He answered every one of our questions about the animals – and since I am a veterinarian, I had many very specific questions. He even found a giraffe skeleton for me! He encouraged us to get out on game drives early to take advantage of the solitude & animal sightings – some days we spent almost 13 hours in our safari vehicle, eating both breakfast and lunch out of boxes. We discussed Tanzanian history, past and current politics, East Africa issues, the country’s educational system, soccer (well, that’s what we call it!), grilling meat – you name it. And we laughed so much! We had some interesting and unusual experiences together, and through it all he was so patient and respectful. He was perfect for us in every way, and we have made a life-long friend.

Fulgence was so knowledgable about the animal behaviors and environment. His vision was impeccable! He could see a tiny dot in the distance and tell you what it was. Then he would drive to it and he was correct! Very warm and friendly!

Fulgence is a great, friendly, knowledgeable, guide who was eager to show us Tanzanian wildlife, and Tanzanian culture. If I could rate his wildlife knowledge 15 out of 10 I would! We loved learning the Swahili words and the song that Fulgence taught us.

We could not have asked for a better guide. Fulgence was so good with the kids and the adults. He honestly could not have improved on anything. Our whole family still misses him!

Absolutely the best guy we could’ve possibly had. I cannot imagine anybody being better than Fulgence.

Fulgence was the highlight of our trip to Tanzania. His temperament, insights and keen eye for wildlife made all the difference in the world. We really got a chance to learn about life in Tanzania through him and he was so generous in sharing his knowledge. Everywhere we went he seemed to have a friend, and they were all happy to see him too – – he’s well respected and trusted throughout the community. He also helped other guides when they were in a pinch. We were always in good hands with Fulgence.

Fulgence was outstanding. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer about Tanzania, the wildlife, everything. We found out later that he was dealing with a colleague’s death while we were there. We had no idea and it did not seem to hinder his performance with us at all. We especially loved all the effort he put into finding new birds for us. We hope Fulgence comes to the Twin Cities someday, so we can say hello to him in Minnesota!

Can’t say enough about how great Fulgence was, from the moment he met us at Kilimanjaro airport to dropping us at Seronera. He shepherded us through every aspect of our safari with patience and kindness. His knowledge of animals, birds, plants, climate etc. is amazing. He helped us understand Tanzania and its people, its politics, the culture, agriculture. He became a friend and it was difficult to say goodbye.

Fulgence was FANTASTIC! He was funny, knowledgable and never tired of answering our questions. He diligently worked on getting us to see the best animal sightings.
