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.
“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!!”
