Fulgence was absolutely phenomenal. We can’t say enough great things about him, our experience with him, and how he took care of us. His level of knowledge and expertise on even the smallest detail continued to amaze us. If he said this animal would do something, it would. He was eager to hear what we were looking for in the safari and did an amazing job of meeting our needs. We also loved his philosophy of driving and guiding. For instance, in the Serengeti, we found the Wildebeest Migration in the middle of nowhere which was amazing in itself, but from sunrise until 11am that day we didn’t encounter another vehicle. It was great to be away from the crowds and to see Fulgence rely on his knowledge, rather than the radio, to know where to go. He had a wonderful sense of humor and would easily put us to ease. He was extremely helpful and appealing to any requests we had, but he was also helpful to others we encountered. His care, dedication, and love for the wildlife and what he does was evident every step of the way. Words can’t do justice to how amazing and meaningful our…

We are so grateful to Fulgence, our guide for the two weeks we were on safari. He was quite informed on the history of Tanzania and the cultures of the many tribes of the country; his thorough knowledge of the flora and fauna of each of the regions we visited, his keen insights into the habitats and movements of the animals, and his incomparable sense of delightful humor and patience in dealing with us as guests in his country, not only made each day such a pleasure to look forward to, but also wonderful evenings to talk about all that we had seen and learned.   We cannot imagine what our safari might have been like without Fulgence’s daily presence and guidance.

Fulgence was nothing short of fantastic! He made sure we felt comfortable and safe right from the beginning. He went above and beyond the call of duty. His tracking skills were amazing, pointing out hard-to-spot animals and his knowledge of wildlife and Tanzanian culture was outstanding! His sunny disposition and ready smile and a willing-and-able to help attitude won us over in no time. We cannot have asked for a better guide on our trip than Fulgence.

Excellent guide, who impressed us with great knowledge of animals and culture. We had a lot of fun with many laughs. He always made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see. We really enjoyed meeting Fulgence and becoming his friend.

He knows the areas, is knowledgeable about the animals and birds. Fulgence’s ability to spot animals was incredible. How did you see those leopards in the trees?

Fulgence, was the very best. No matter what I wanted he always provided it except we usually had everything we needed without asking. He was fun and interesting and always had great answers to every question I asked. We would be driving along looking for animals and all of a sudden he would stop the vehicle, point and say “9:00 lion”. I never could figure out how he knew that an animal was there. But he did this again and again! Spotting animals while driving. We saw everything. Not just at a distance but many close up, too. Some big cats right next to the vehicle. It was amazing. We saw fifteen to twenty elephants crossing the road right in front of the vehicle etc. etc. etc. Just a wonderful thing.

We especially want to tell you how much we enjoyed Furu.  Not only did he do everything you would want a guide to do (i.e. expertly drive the vehicle, spot animals that were invisible, provide tons of information about his country and all the animals and birds we were seeing, and patiently answer even the dumbest questions) he was also very kind and wonderful fun.

We were very fortunate to have him. His presence and company became an essential part to us truly enjoying safari and having an amazing time. His experience and passion for his job showed in his knowledge and general interest for safari and the Tanzanian culture. I would defiantly recommend him specifically to a colleague traveling with A2T.

Fulgence not only was a great tour guide but he went way above and beyond expectations to make us happy.  For example, he overheard me telling Aimee that I love exotic fruit and the next day he showed up in the jeep with some different types of bananas and custard apple.  We mentioned to him that we wanted to try some of the local food and on the day back to Arusha he stopped at a small restaurant and we were able to eat traditional ungali porridge and barbequed meat.  I also said I’d like a Tanzania soccer jersey and he found a local guy that sells them.  These are just a few examples of little things he did to make us really happy besides just being a great guy and an unbelievable tour guide.
