Our family loved Fulgence! I imagine most review’s start that way but he was really great. I felt like he was the best guide in each park at finding animals. He does an excellent job of providing educational information in an engaging way to meets everyone’s interests. Our family asked a LOT of questions and he answered everyone of them like it was the first time asked. In my profession, feedback for personal growth is really important and I struggle to identify feedback for him on how to improve. My impression is that other guides might be more interested in their guests – names, what they do, etc. and Fulgence doesn’t ask those questions but I don’t think that is a negative. I just felt like we liked him more than he liked us because we are total fans like I wanted to start a Fulgence fan club during our time there and thought I might cry when we left him. He seems to love his job which makes everyone have a better experience. I cannot even believe how much he knows about the animals, birds, Tanzania, etc. It makes a traveler want a guide like him on every experience. For example, we went on a bush walk and 2 of my kids were totally bored and disengaged because Fulgence had taught us a lot of the information he was providing but in a way that was much more engaging. He is also super funny.
“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.”
