Review of Fulgence
Fulgence was great. Always pleasant. He was fantastic at spotting the animals (great vision) and was as excited to find some of them as we were. That was helpful because it was during those times that it felt like he was sharing the experience with us instead of just being the guide. Despite some very rough roads and significant bumps, I was surprised that I did not get nauseous riding in the van and I attribute that to Fulgence’s driving skills. I always felt safe with his driving. I think Fulgence probably knows as much about the animals as other guides and even more than many but he didn’t always tell us some of the characteristics about the animals as other guides had told their clients. Fulgence worked diligently to find some animals that we wanted to see but hadn’t yet found such as the cheetah.
“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.”
