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.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
