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.
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
