Fulgence was a delight–knowledgeable, courteous, prompt, funny, and sensitive.
Fulgence was absolutely phenomenal. We can’t say enough great things about him, our experience with him, and how he took care of us. His level of knowledge and expertise on even the smallest detail continued to amaze us. If he said this animal would do something, it would. He was eager to hear what we were looking for in the safari and did an amazing job of meeting our needs. We also loved his philosophy of driving and guiding. For instance, in the Serengeti, we found the Wildebeest Migration in the middle of nowhere which was amazing in itself, but from sunrise until 11am that day we didn’t encounter another vehicle. It was great to be away from the crowds and to see Fulgence rely on his knowledge, rather than the radio, to know where to go. He had a wonderful sense of humor and would easily put us to ease. He was extremely helpful and appealing to any requests we had, but he was also helpful to others we encountered. His care, dedication, and love for the wildlife and what he does was evident every step of the way. Words can’t do justice to how amazing and meaningful our experience was and we have no doubt a significant reason for that is because of Fulgence. If we ever get to go on another safari, we couldn’t imagine having someone other than Fulgence be our guide.
“What an amazing family experience. From the moment Willy picked us up at the airport to the moment he dropped us off we felt right at home. It’s hard to put into words the experience because it was truly life changing. You’d expect that we would say seeing lions (and boy did Willy the lion whisperer know how to find lions!) was the highlight. Don’t get me wrong that was wild! But our connection with Willy and doing things like visiting an orphanage and going to his house for a typical African dinner were outstanding. To have a little glimmer of how people in another country and culture live is to forage a lasting connection. We cried when we had to part with Willy because he had become family to us”
