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.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
