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.
“Excellent staff. Casey was extremely responsive in planning the trip. I had certain things I did and didn’t want to do, he tailored our experience accordingly (and with keeping our budget in mind). The trip was perfectly proportioned, mostly because of him. Our guide on the ground, Wilfred, spent 12 days with us. We couldn’t have asked for someone better. We became comfortable companions, easily sitting together in silence over long drives or telling stories during dinner. He didn’t wait for us to ask something, he anticipated our needs. When he saw we didn’t finish our lunch boxes, he asked us what we liked and didn’t like. He made sure to relay the information to the hotels and we finished out lunches going forward. He saw I had an itch to get into the Wildebeest migration. Even though it was far away and our chances of finding it could be small, he made sure it happened. The staff set everything apart, especially when we compared it to our tour companies we saw in the area.”
