Above and beyond
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 had a fabulous time! My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He accommodated my requests but also used his experience to gently nudge me when he knew better viewing opportunities would occur. I really appreciated that so that I got the best overall experience. I was pleased with the accommodations as well. I was also able to learn a bit about how other companies operate with freelance guides so that made me appreciate Access 2 Tanzania’s business practices even more. I feel good that my money went to an ethical company that also gives back to the communities.”
