Hakuna shida – Fulgence rocks!
We cannot say enough positive things about Fulgence. He met us at the airport at 1:30am with a smile on his face, getting our relationship off to a great start. He answered every one of our questions about the animals – and since I am a veterinarian, I had many very specific questions. He even found a giraffe skeleton for me! He encouraged us to get out on game drives early to take advantage of the solitude & animal sightings – some days we spent almost 13 hours in our safari vehicle, eating both breakfast and lunch out of boxes. We discussed Tanzanian history, past and current politics, East Africa issues, the country’s educational system, soccer (well, that’s what we call it!), grilling meat – you name it. And we laughed so much! We had some interesting and unusual experiences together, and through it all he was so patient and respectful. He was perfect for us in every way, and we have made a life-long friend.
“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.”
