Fulgence was an amazing guide, and I will definitely request him if I’m able to do another safari. He is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and taught us a lot about the interactions between various animals, plants, and soil conditions across seasons/parks. He also has a great respect for all of the animals – he would even avoid hitting dung beetles in the road. Finally, we had a lot of fun with him. Fulgence is hilarious, and we spent a lot of time laughing. I noticed that many groups using other companies didn’t eat meals with their guide, but we loved eating meals with Fulgence, talking about Tanzanian culture and practicing our Swahili (he was very patient with us, and we had many laughs when one of us would misunderstand something and give a bizarre answer). I can’t imagine a better guide for our safari.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
