Dear Klaus, dear Nicole, our dreamlike and adventurous trip through Madagascar already took place in May 2015 and until today we experience again and again, the many made experiences through stories, new! Through your organization, your experiences and tips, we can count our vacation to the most impressive so far and still live on it today! 🙂 Adafi and Anja welcomed us warmly on our arrival in Tana and gave us a wonderful evening at a reunion in Antsirabe!;-) Through your chosen driver, Aina, we had very enjoyable rides, fun conversations, and a whole lot to better understand and process our experiences and adventures in Madagascar! We know that this will not have been our last trip across the, despite its poor conditions, breathtaking red island. We are already very much looking forward to explore more great corners, maybe this time together with you two ;-)! Take good care of yourselves, little Stephi and all the other dear ones and keep doing your work so warmly and dedicatedly, then many more people will be allowed to experience such a great time, like us and some already before us! 🙂 Best regards, Ludwig and Jeannine...

Dear Nicole, dear Klaus. Thank you very much for the impressive two weeks I was allowed to spend with you over the turn of the year. On the long drive from Tana to Sarodrano, I had the opportunity for the first time, on my third trip in Madagascar, to get to know impressive insights into the simple and poor life of the people in this beautiful country. It does not always have to be the national parks that one visits in a country. Many small "jewels" are also scattered throughout the country, often not far off the road. You have the experience and knowledge to show these treasures to your guests and bring them closer, whether landscape and people or fauna and flora. I myself was touched by the close, personal contact with the inhabitants in village 13. To see how they keep themselves afloat with the simplest of means, what a home of theirs looks like and how friendly they welcomed us, touched me deeply. And yet somehow I had the impression that they have even more of life than we do in Europe. With many hundreds of photos I took home beautiful memories and I hope that they will tide me over until we meet again in July for a great adventure: The splendor of the slopes Kind regards Martin...

Dear Nicole and Klaus It was a great pleasure to meet you and to accompany you on the way south to Toliara. We have seen and experienced a lot, thanks to your insider knowledge and years of Madagascar experience. Isalo Rock Lodge is a true Isalo paradise and the view from the room and from the rock impressed us very much. Very interesting was the sapphire digging town of Ilakaka and the visit to a mine where we could see first hand how muscle power is used to dig and search for sapphires. We have experienced Madagascar up close and wish you continued success and interested tourists who find their way to you. We can only warmly recommend a trip with you: friendly, uncomplicated, knowledge enriching, authentic, safe and up close. Thanks again for everything.... Collapse

Dear Klaus and Nicole, today at Christmas we would like to write you a few lines in the guestbook. Thank you again for the wonderful and super organized trip from 21.11.- 12.12.2015 that we could make with you. Above all we got to know the life in this poor, but very interesting country. The very good hotels Isalo Rock Lodge and the residence Eden Lodge were best chosen. For the surprise at the Grotte Sarondrano on the last evening with good food, sunset and the singing of the hotel staff, was for us an unforgettable experience. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Dear Nicole, dear Klaus After we hit the bull's eye in 2013 with you as our guides, we decided to go deeper into the country with you. When we presented you with our proposals for a south piste tour, we were initially met with well-founded skepticism. Questions such as impassability and accommodations were at the center of our negotiations. Never before had you accompanied such a tour as we had requested. But soon the route was tailor-made and while for us the focus was on the flight bookings and the anticipation, for you it was the logistics that had to be mastered for this pilot project and you succeeded brilliantly. Then it got serious. The vacation had it in itself: approx. 2500 km pilot runway journey over the south cape Sainte Marie away = dream fulfillment for Norbert. Imagine standing at the southernmost point of Madagascar...you have to get there first. We were allowed to experience that and then somewhere far behind the horizon, where the water line merges into the sky, lies Antarctica...madness yet. Sweaty shirts, sand in the sandals forever, water bottle at hand, camera in pose, swimming in turquoise ocean, eating fish and crustaceans, strange flora and fauna, alien cultures, heat, sunsets...3 weeks hot-sandy-dusty-stony with you and our excellent driver Dam on the road - thank you for the feeling of security, competence, being cared for. The insider tip Eden Lodges worked out perfectly, the night in Kirindy Forest Lodge with the giant cockroaches and the flea infestation of Klaus completely off. That's the way it is when you sit on the sleeping place of a fossa. Unpleasant: Norbert's heart attack shortly before the end of the vacation. Immediately you looked for solutions. Through your tireless, selfless and competent actions, our joint journey home became possible. And especially on these few days of sorrow we felt your warmth of heart. Please think occasionally also of resting with e.g. the 5th piano concerto of L.v. Beethoven.... Thank you for a dream trip of the first order and to all those who will make this tour after us, we say: ouch, we were the first... We say "goodbye" if you like! We like want...

Dear Klaus, the cold Germany has us again and we have to use pictures and video recordings to remember the beautiful time in Madagascar. We would like to thank you again for patiently going through all the changes caused by Air Madagascar with us. At the same time, I would like to warn other Madagascar travelers against booking with this airline. Not only the flights within the country but also the ones to Paris were constantly changed in our case. Sometimes a flight was canceled, then again the return flight was postponed by 2 days. My patience was at an end when I was offered a negative connecting time for a flight within Madagascar and all my attempts to contact them went unanswered. It was only with great difficulty that I finally managed to get them to take note of my cancellation. I would never have believed that an airline could work like this! In the end, even without domestic flights, we had a wonderful time in this exotic country. Adafi and Anja had a big part in that. With them we had the perfect travel companions, we couldn't have asked for better. They were instrumental in helping us get to know much of the country and its people. Thus, even without French language skills, we not only got through the country, we were able to experience it! The guide you recommended from Ambalavao also did a very good job. Patiently he accompanied us to the Pic Chameleon and through him also interesting insights into the village life in the Tsarano valley were possible. We wanted to see lemurs, chameleons, baobabs and the Tsingys, relax a little on dream beaches and get an insight into Malagasy life - we had all that and we will keep this colorful, poverty-stricken country in very good memory. Your recommendations for the accommodations were just right for us, also for this a heartfelt thank you. A praise also to your cook in the villa Sybille. We liked your food the best! We wish you and your team all the best and many more satisfied guests. Best regards from Richard and Karin... Collapse

Dear Klaus This second vacation with you had it all: approx. 2500 km of pilot runway driving over the southern cape of Sainte Marie = a dream come true for Norbert. Sweaty shirts, sand in our sandals, water bottle at the ready, camera in position, swimming in the turquoise ocean, eating fish and crustaceans, strange flora and fauna, foreign cultures, heat, sunsets... 3 weeks of hot, sandy, dusty and stony travel with you and our excellent driver Dam - thank you for the feeling of safety, competence and being looked after. Thanks to your selfless, tireless care for medication and the logistics of Norbert's transportation to a suitable hospital, we were able to avoid the worst. Please also think about resting occasionally with, for example, L.v. Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto... We would like to say goodbye, if you like! Margitta and Norbert... Collapse

Dear Klaus, dear Nicole, dear Adafi and dear Anja, We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for the perfect organization and the wonderful support. The whole trip has deeply impressed us all and brought us an incredible amount of joy. Of course, we were thrilled by the country, the people and the nature. But above all it was your warm welcome and the friendly atmosphere that made us feel so comfortable the whole time. This is not a matter of course and made the trip something very special! For all readers and interested people our entry in the guestbook should be an urgent recommendation. Our trip went from August 1-20, 2015 from Tana via Antsirabé, Ranomafana, Manakara, Andrigita NP to Sarondrano/Tuléar. The whole process of the trip, the hotels, the visits and activities were perfectly organized by Klaus. Requests for changes were also implemented at short notice without any problems (instead of the originally planned Isalo NP we spent 2 days in Andrigita NP - which we can highly recommend). We (we 4 and 2 other guests) were accompanied by Adafi and Anja. Adafi is an excellent guide and driver. No matter how bad the road was or how close the chickens came...☺ - we felt very safe at all times. He managed everything very well, organized all visits and activities on site and translated into English for us when necessary. Anja organized with heart and commitment the many, small things: be it shopping at the market, a barbecue or a dinner at the beach. Anja and Adafi always made sure that we felt comfortable around the clock and even gave us special pleasures with some spontaneous ideas. We learned a lot from them about the country, the people, their customs, the plants and animals. Thanks to their professional but also very personal care and their guidance to places where you could look 'behind the scenes', we felt the trip as a little less touristy and more like a common journey of discovery. We sang, danced and had a lot of fun together. It could not have been better.... Collapse

Dear Klaus, It has been several weeks since we returned from Madagascar in early July and we are still raving about our great trip! We would therefore like to thank you and your team very much. Aina did a great job - empathetic and courteous, he read our every wish from our lips and made many a great photo possible. We felt safe at all times with him as our driver and guide. We liked the itinerary (Tana-Manakara-Tulea r) very much with the varied impressions and the frequent changes of scenery. All our wishes came true: colorful nature, impressive animals and plants. At the end of the trip there were more highlights: Relaxation and excitement at the same time on the national holiday in Sarondrano, after all the local soccer team had won the regional final. They celebrated happily in the evening at the Recidence Eden in the presence of their families and the hotel owners. We got chicken skin when later the whole staff said goodbye to us with a song and small gifts, because we had to leave one day earlier due to the strike of Air Madagascar. We would like to thank you again, Klaus, for the wise decision to leave Aina with us in Sarondrano during the uncertainty with Air Madagascar, so that he could take us back in the car to Tana! Best regards from Switzerland Gerda, Karl and Reto Frei... Collapse

Not least your competent and at the same time personal and loving care during our stay in Madagascar it has contributed to the fact that we have fallen in love with this fascinating country and its people. 😆 We have been allowed to collect an incredible number of impressions and experiences and have felt safe with you at every second.

Hello, I am thrilled by the many positive comments here. Just the idea of booking such a trip makes my fingers tingle. I do not know Klaus personally. Have only read something on Facebook from him, where he makes among other things also advertising for his tours. But I'm already excited just by the homepage and all the descriptions and if you read here how people have experienced everything who were already there, then it sounds like a very good word-of-mouth propaganda nda! And something like that is the most important thing when you run a company anyway! Klaus apparently knows that and I think his human, fair behavior described here is terrific!!! P.s. I would also like to emigrate sometime. But at the earliest in 5 years....the circumstances here unfortunately do not allow it sooner. LG, Maria... Collapse

Due to a severe stroke of my wife we had to cancel an individual Madagascar round trip planned for us by Klaus with great effort. Klaus reacted like a good old friend, although we had only email contact. Already at our very first contact we had the impression to have come across a very fair and correct tour operator and this has now been confirmed to the full extent. Although there was no written contract, Klaus kept exactly to his verbal statements and immediately initiated the reversal. That is nowadays by no means a Selbstverständlichke it more. But not only that. He sent my wife travel reports and get-well wishes to the hospital several times. That's what you call human kindness! It is a pity that it is no longer possible for us to meet Klaus and Nicole personally. We wish you both continued success and good health. Best regards Peter & Heide... Collapse

Dear Klaus and dear Nicole, with my entry in your guestbook would like to address all the readers who have the desire to travel the uniquely beautiful island of Madagascar. Our group (14 people) were from 17.10-09.11.2014 with a konfortabeln coach, top bus driver "CE" on the RN7 tour on the road. Klaus has organized a fantastic trip for this rather large group, absolutely everything worked smoothly. Every single wish was fulfilled, even short-term changes in the itinerary, posed no problem. If you want to experience the country and its people up close, Klaus and his charming wife Nicole are 100 % the best choice.our expectations and wishes were exceeded by far. Familiar and strange at the same time, the fascinating landscape cocktail of the island continent, the diversity of the landscape is reflected in the faces of the people. We like to think back to village 13, everywhere we met cheerful and hospitable people living in abject poverty. The last week we spent in Sarondrano - a paradisiacal place to relax, thanks to Eden Lodge. These unforgettable and unique impressions burn in our hearts and the memories of this dream vacation sweeten our stressful everyday life. Dear Klaus, thank you so much for letting us be your guests...our mind is made up, we will be back. For all the readers whose curiosity I have awakened with my entry, I can heartily recommend a trip to Madagascar with Klaus and Nicole. Best regards to both of you.

We were in Madagascar from 23.08. to 12.09.2014. Thanks to the perfect organization of Nicole and Klaus, it was a trip that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Everything was organized optimally, even at short notice requests for changes could be accommodated. The impressions were exhilarating from Masoala Lodge and jungle to Tana to Antsirabe, Manakara, Ranomafana, Ifaty and finally Residence Eden Lodge at Sarondrano. Each destination was a real highlight, the cameras were permanently in use. But we also have to thank the always well-informed Aina, who made our trip a dream. He is not just a driver, he is also a guide, manager and psychologist. His advice was always reliable. We can only recommend the trip to anyone reading this. We will gladly advertise Klaus, Nicole and Aina to our friends and family. It was difficult for us after this trip to return to our familiar surroundings and to settle into our working lives.

A good month ago we had to leave Madagascar again after three wonderful weeks. We still live off the fantastic experiences and dream ourselves so out of the everyday life. We have experienced so many beautiful and unique things. For three weeks we were surrounded by warm people who cared about us and took care of everything. Klaus organized an unforgettable trip for us. He thought of everything, even things that didn't occur to us. Everything worked flawlessly. We first spent a week in the Masoala rainforest. There we stayed at the Masoala Forest Lodge. This is located in a beautiful place. The staff lovingly takes care of their guests and they fulfilled our every wish. Our guide Ursula showed us the beautiful flora and fauna of the rainforest and introduced us to her country and culture. We felt very comfortable at the lodge and part of the family. After the week in the rainforest, we went across Madagascar with Aina and Albert. Aina is a first class driver who makes you feel really safe. Albert would like to become a tour guide and did an internship. He was very eager and explained customs and traditions to us in German. We immediately took the two into our hearts.

We would like to sincerely thank Klaus and Nicole for giving us a wonderful vacation in Madagascar in June/July 2014, which exceeded our expectations in all respects and in which everything 100% worked smoothly and perfectly. Although we had "only" rented a car with driver for our RN7 tour, Klaus has also brought our itinerary somewhat up to speed and took care of the hotels, with which we were very satisfied throughout. A great extra service! We had a lively and pleasant e-mail exchange beforehand, which left no questions unanswered. At this point we would also like to thank our driver Aina. Aina is not only a safe driver, but he also proved to be a helpful, extremely helpful and reliable guide and truly great person. During the 12 days of our tour, Aina grew so close to our hearts that it was hard to say goodbye in Tulear. The intensive, eventful vacation will remain in our memories forever. See you at our next Madagascar vacation...... Best regards from Michael & Bernadett... Collapse

FOR MADAGASCAR

After 10 months of total inactivity, self-employed people in the tourism industry in Madagascar are completely without income. There is no opening of the borders in sight in Madagascar and we are at the beginning of the rainy season, which is the low season, even in normal times. I have started a fundraiser for the guides and drivers I know well. From this money we will buy rice and other essentials and distribute them regularly, if possible, until the resumption of travel activities in April 2021 at the earliest. My special thanks to those who have already donated. I will start buying rice tomorrow and will begin distributing it this week.
