Absolutely excellent safari in every way.
Fulgence is an amazing guide. Nice guy (which we wanted), responsive to all our needs, diligent (cleaning the vehicle at night before the next day’s journey), and incredibly capable as a guide. We were the Toyota Land Cruiser all other Toyota Land Cruisers wanted to be. We were clearly leaders and not followers. Over time others figured that out, and we often had people follow us just because they figured out we knew what we were doing. That often led to amazing finds, where we were the first ones there. Not only did we find animals hidden in trees and bushes others could not find, but we also stopped and helped another guide stuck in the mud, unable to be extricated by another guide who had already stopped. It was Fulgence to the rescue with his chain, and then with him getting in the stuck vehicle and driving it out. Impressive show. All in all, Fulgence should be commended on all fronts.
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
