A great guide makes the trip, and Fulgence is that
Fulgence was an amazing guide and a wonderful person to be around. In terms of being an excellent guide: we would come back to camp telling people what we had seen that day, and they would always say we were so lucky. After a few days of this, we realized it couldn’t just be luck, but also Fulgence’s knowledge and skill that made it possible. Some of it may be good karma for him as well, since he was always the one to stop and help others who were stuck in the mud, give directions to other lost guides, or even give water and cash to people who’s car had broken down at the side of the road. Every single question we asked him about the animals or Tanzania he knew the answer to. We learned so much in our 9 days with him. Amazing, amazing trip that is mainly due to Fulgence. I would highly recommend him to anyone traveling to Tanzania.
“First of all, I love that it is associated with Project Zawadi. It felt good enjoying the tour and knowing we were contributing to educational projects in Tanzania. Everything was done professionally and very much catered to our needs. Our guides were fabulous! We asked them hundreds of questions and they could answer about most everything – animal habits, climate, geography. My companion was older and a good friend, but I found she often relied on my to carry her things, help her with her camera or help her in and out of the jeep. It wasn’t long before Wilfred noticed and stepped in. And he did it in a way that made her feel special. His taking on this extra responsibility allowed me to more freely enjoy myself and not miss some of the opportunities I might have if he had not been looking out for her. Ray told us, “You came us our guest but we left as friends.” I couldn’t agree more.”
