Fulgence = best safari experience for our family
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.
“Access2Tanzania did a great job planning our trip to Rwanda and Tanzania. Very knowledgeable, good guides, etc.
Overall everyone had a great time and this will be a vacation we will all remember forever!
We almost always plan our own trips and it was nice to have someone else plan. There were a few surprises that we didn’t love, though, Zanzibar itinerary being the main one, and too many game drives in Tanzania – see more feedback below. Had we done our own research and planning we would have likely discovered these things ahead of time but did choose to rely on the experts.
There were a couple of accommodations that could have been better. Would have been nice to have options like for another $200/pp you could stay at x hotel in this place, etc.”
