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.
“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.”
