Dear Nicole, dear Klaus, unfortunately we could not meet in person this year. And unfortunately our Madagascar trip had to be cancelled at very short notice. But one thing at a time: I booked a car together with a driver through Klaus for the Easter vacations 2017, nothing more. The further course of the trip should be decided - as we actually always do - day by day at breakfast. We, that is my wife and I and our two 5- and 8-year-old children. The suitcases were already packed, the cab to the Munich airport already ordered, the boarding passes already printed out, but when the alarm clock rang on the day of arrival, the fever thermometer already showed almost 40 degrees for me. As much as we had been looking forward to Madagascar, there was not much to weigh. The trip had to be cancelled. A little later, a doctor diagnosed me with influenza, the "real" flu. So the decision to cancel was the right one. Influenza is not something to joke about and traveling is not even a possibility. The disappointment was now large and also the financial damage very annoying. I have never taken out travel cancellation insurance (in the long term, you pay on average, or what else do they earn their money with?) So also the flight costs for four people plus the prepaid rent for the car and the salary for the driver were gone. I thought. But then Klaus offered to refund the money completely. There were no concrete agreements for this case, no written contract, no general terms and conditions or anything like that. In any case, I had already chalked the money up to "bad luck" for me and would never have asked Klaus about it. But he offered me the refund without being asked. To the last cent. Very, very fair. I wanted to get rid of that here in the guestbook. If anyone is still interested in how the story (probably) will continue: We want to make up the trip Easter 2018, and I have now agreed with Klaus that he keeps the money as a Be- or deposit for the next attempt. Runs with him everything very unbureaucratic, very fair! By the way, a considerable part of the flight costs should also be returned. What many travelers do not know: Many surcharges such as airport fees and certain taxes must refund the airline even without travel cancellation insurance if the passenger does not take the flight, because in this case the airline itself is also not burdened with these costs. We are already looking forward to making up for the unfortunate missed trip next year! Sandra and Christian with Helena and Alexander... Collapse

Dear Klaus, we were in Madagascar from 4-18 March. We already knew before where we wanted to go. Due to the chosen travel time and the character of the trip (natural science oriented), we have also booked on your recommendation a 4x4 with driver. That was absolutely the right decision, because your driver ADAFI was not only a very careful and nevertheless fast driver, but has also supported us with words and deeds. He has even shown surprisingly good knowledge in the local flora and fauna, which went far beyond the normal level! Also the car was absolutely TOP! Problems with travel changes due to the cyclone, we were able to solve together quickly and we have also otherwise felt very comfortable and befriended. Adafi's humor also contributed to an extremely pleasant atmosphere, so we could cover the long and sometimes stressful long distances relaxed. I can highly recommend him and thank him - also in the name of my son (who is currently back in Australia) - for the wonderful trip! Alexander... Collapse

Dear Nicole, dear Klaus, we were on the road with you for three weeks in October 2016. It was a long-standing desire of us to visit this island and we were able to plan and compile our route with you for a long time. It was an unforgettable experience how you brought us closer to the country and its people. We were also very impressed by your social projects. Keep up the good work. Other highlights for us were the parks we visited. We especially liked the Anja Park and the Lemur Forest Camp. There we could observe the different species of lemurs in their natural habitats. You planned our vacation well and everything worked out, which, as we have often seen, is not a matter of course in Madagascar. The accommodations and the food were very good. Great praise also goes to our driver Adafi, who always brought us safely through the not always well maintained road network. Our vacation with you was just a dream and we hope to come back soon to explore more of the island with you. Thank you very much for everything, Brigitte and Pit... Collapse

Dear Nicole, dear Klaus, your New Year trip from 27.12.2016 for 3 weeks was very varied and individual. We liked it well, the group was well mixed and harmonious, the sights and the whole program interesting and authentic. For Nicole and Klaus nothing was impossible and you are a master couple of improvisation. Everything fit. The accommodations were very well chosen, great location, good ambience, the food was delicious and one has always felt well taken care of in the sometimes chaotic street life. Great that we were able to experience the trip - thank you again for your commitment! Love to all of us and see you again!... Collapse

Dear Nicole and Klaus, thank you again for the wonderful and varied New Year's trip, which we were allowed to enjoy as a group of 10 with you for 23 days. From the beginning we felt comfortable and familiar in your care. Through you, Klaus, as a planning and logistics genius, who fulfills every wish, no matter how small, and through you, Nicole, as a doer, for whom nothing is impossible, we got to know Madagascar with all its facets. Of course, we have covered many kilometers with the coach, which sometimes seemed quite exhausting, but even the one long 12-hour bus ride on December 30 was entertaining, because you, as on the whole trip, always had surprises in store for us: the visit of remote villages or small workshops with great ingenuity, hikes in beautiful unusual landscapes and parks, the hustle and bustle on the colorful markets, the nights in special lodges. There are many more incredibly intense experiences that made this trip unforgettably beautiful for us! Thanks also to the great group (Monika, Petzo, Inge, Reini, Margit, Jochen, Melitta, Willi) that came together for the New Year's trip from 27.12.16 to 18.01.17 and developed into a homogeneous and good-humored group. It was wonderful with you! Dear Nicole and Klaus, you are a great team! Best regards Trude & Hansotto... Collapse

Hello Klaus, you promised us that for our self-organized trip through the east of Madagascar "on the tracks of the lemurs" we would get from you an off-road vehicle with very knowledgeable, well English speaking driver. And you absolutely kept your promise! Many thanks for that! Our driver Adafi was indeed much more than just a normal driver: perfect driver, incredibly nice and helpful and so open-hearted that he became a friend to us during the few days with whom we spent many a nice evening. Kind regards from Brigitte and Frank and our fellow traveler acquaintance Gaby.... Collapse

From the first moment when we saw Aina beaming with joy waiting for us, it was clear to us: "the bassd subba to us!" So quickly the travel group "Lena & Anja" (two young girls from beautiful Upper Bavaria) became the travel group "Lena & Anja & Aina". It was really nice with which joy and cordiality Aina brought us closer to the country. Patient, patient, most patient, Aina! "Wooooooow - the landscape is so beautiful!!!" - and poof, the brakes were already applied so that we had a beautiful snapshot of every corner of our trip in our bag. It was an unforgettable time in the impressive Madagascar, in which we laughed a lot and above all got to know many lovely people. It's great to see that people have wonderful smiles on their faces despite poverty! "To be content with what you have is true wealth." This sentence probably perfectly describes what we were able to experience during our 16-day trip from Antananarivo to Tulear. Dear Nicole, Dear Klaus, THANK YOU for the unforgettably wonderful time we were able to spend in Madagascar! It was perfect from front to back and we would do everything again exactly as we did. We will never forget this wonderful time. Madagascar is indescribable. Keep up the good work!... Collapse

Thanks to your planning and the high commitment of our travel companions, this country was brought very close to us. It was a trip that touched us deeply.

Almost 4 weeks we traveled from mid-August through the south of Madagascar. On the trip well organized by Klaus we were driven by the Madagascan Aina . From the beginning we understood each other very well, he brought us with his sensitive way the fantastic country with its nature and especially the friendly people closer. Always Aina knew interesting things to tell and could give us a lot of knowledge about the way of life in Madagascar, hardly a question or a wish of us remained unfulfilled. Patiently he strolled with us over the great markets, always trying to show us new and to allow us contact with the locals. He also made sure that our daughter did not eat too much (fish and meat). It was especially nice to stop somewhere with Aina and get in touch with the people and children, here you noticed his great, informal and warm contact with the people in his country and how much he enjoys his work. Aina's sensitive, funny and professional way made the trip very special for us. We were also able to meet -by chance- his lovely family - which made us even more familiar. Thank you again dear Aina and all the best for your work .... Collapse

The professional everyday life has long caught up with us again, but in our thoughts we are still often on the road in Madagascar. Our 19-day round trip was an unforgettable experience, a string of highlights in a class of its own or simply a blast. Whether it's breathtaking landscapes, stunning flora (and even in the winter months), a variety of fascinating animals, gorgeous sandy beaches with kitschy turquoise water, the best food from the sea - Madagascar offers so many possibilities. But we also have to thank our guide and driver Aina for making our vacation an unforgettable experience. Aina understood perfectly how to bring us closer to the beauty of his homeland. Unobtrusive, cordial and uncomplicated. Dear Klaus, dear Nicole, dear Aina - thank you very much for everything!... Collapse

Dear Nicole, dear Klaus, we would like to thank you again for the great organization and execution of our trip. We have booked the trip not directly through you but through Exotic Travel, but are totally satisfied. We were in wonderful places, had great hotels, very nice experiences and two super nice guides, Hery and Andry. We would like to say a special thank you to Hery, who drove us over 1200 km perfectly through the east and the south. He had the organization firmly under control and through his very good English and immense knowledge brought the culture and way of life of the Malagasy many times closer. Andry was there as our translator for German, but we thought this was superfluous as we were in the best hands with Hery. Again, a big thank you for a wonderful 3 weeks of vacation. The time was over way too fast.... Collapse

Dear Nicole, dear Klaus, Honestly, we don't know the best words to thank you. You really made our honeymoon in July something very special! Already the first contact via the homepage was really nice and we felt totally comfortable and well cared for from the first moment. The trip you put together for us was simply fantastic. We saw so many beautiful spots of this fascinating country and learned a lot about it from you on the tour. It was really nice to travel with you. But not only the individual stops were great, also the hotels you chose were really great! Great rooms, incredible panoramic views, great service and fantastic food. Simply perfect! And you also gave us a few nice surprises. We were totally happy about that! Thank you again for taking care of our luggage problem. Air France had unfortunately left our luggage in Paris - but you have taken care of it from the first moment. Please also send our regards to Adafi and Aina and thank you again for the good support and the super nice contact. They are really two great guides and drivers. We could go on writing forever. But all we want to say is: Thank you, thank you, thank you! And all readers of this guestbook: Contact Nicole and Klaus if you want to travel to Madagascar - you can't travel the country better! Many greetings Maike and Daniel... Collapse

First of all, we have to state that we have always organized our trips ourselves so far. We usually book only the outward and return flight and everything else directly on site itself. So it was also planned for our trip to Madagascar - however, our more intensive research on the Internet and travel guides shortly before departure showed that a progress on Madagascar is not as simple - as we had actually thought and imagined. The day before our departure we had contacted Klaus and Nicole and we received an answer immediately. We had also contacted other providers - but none could be helpful to us at such short notice. After a short mail exchange and on recommendation of Klaus - we decided to book a flight directly to Antananarivo. Actually, the start of our trip in Madagascar was planned from Mahajanga. Klaus and Nicole picked us up directly from the airport and welcomed us warmly. With a super dinner we had then determined the tour. Since Klaus has lived in the country for almost 2 decades and knows it like the back of his hand, thus also the climate and weather conditions (which are very different from region to region - because 5 climate zones) and has excellent contacts, we followed his recommendations and have made a 1000 km tour to the south to Toulear and back. Klaus had made the hotel reservations the same evening - which were located at impressive spots. And then we started the next day around 9:00 🙂 Equally recommendable was our guide Hery. He speaks very good English. Knows country and people - flora and fauna and is very very funny and accommodating. We could write much more but in the end we have found that this way of traveling in Madagascar is the best and with Klaus and Nicole (which complement each other super) you have TOP contact and travel planner on the spot. They book you an all-round carefree package, individually tailored to your own wishes and ideas! You can enjoy the country in a relaxed way and with a local guide you get to know regions and people more intensively. Conclusion: To organize a trip in Madagascar on your own and to book everything yourself is extremely difficult, time-consuming and is associated with huge stumbling blocks. We thank you for the warm hospitality and the last minute support and organization! We can only warmly recommend you!!! In the end it was the best thing that could happen to us! We do not even want to imagine what would have happened - if we had not had you. We will come again. Best regards from Dresden - Chris and Micha ... Collapse

Dear Nicole, Dear Klaus Soon it will be 1 year since our Madagascar adventure and still we like to think back to the many great experiences, the lovely people we met and the extraordinary nature. Even though we are very experienced travelers and at the beginning it was hard for us to accept to take a driver and to decide the route more or less in advance, it was definitely the right decision and everything was so super organized by you. Aina, who met us at the airport, was immediately sympathetic to us and has become a valued companion and friend during this time. Without him the trip would not have been the same: He was always flexible, helpful and told us an enormous amount about the country and its people and taught us a phrase or two in Gasy. We had a lot of fun together. We also had a great time with Gege and his troop, who accompanied us up Peak Boby in Andringitra National Park. We hope he has recovered from our hiking pace in the meantime J We laughed a lot, sang and danced around the campfire. No idea how to spell it, but the songs "Ombla bey" and "Schipclodimena" are still ringing in our ears. Poor Aina had to listen to our chanting over and over again for the rest of our trip, stopping at the next bush for every " Ulumbelu tsi akuhu "J. In the Residence Eden Lodge we found a small paradise in a familiar atmosphere, from which we did not want to leave. The trip on the RN 7 was a unique experience, not least because of the kind people who crossed our path. Thank you very much for your great organization. Keep up the good work.... Collapse

Dear visitor of the guestbook! I have already sent my personal greetings including the due thanks together with my travel companion Christian by means of an own mail to Klaus with family and team. I would like to inform the readers of the guestbook that it makes absolutely sense to entrust yourself to a trustworthy and experienced organizer, if you want to experience as much as possible or as intensively as possible of the "sixth continent" in a short time. Because Madagascar is not only geologically, biologically and culturally a separate continent, but also because of its size. In addition, the road conditions and traffic connections do not facilitate an individual progress. If you want to get to know the country and its people more closely and safely, have little time to do so and know neither the Madegassian language nor enough French, and would also like to minimize the actual greatest risk when traveling in this way - I'm not talking about robberies but traffic accidents - then you should definitely contact Klaus and his team in the case of this fascinating island. No matter what you hope to find on Madagascar, Klaus can give you advice and will do his best to find a way. I was particularly impressed on the tour proposed by him, the visit to some villages in the highlands and on the east and west coast with direct contact with the extremely friendly people there. In addition, we visited mines, rovas, small - not overcrowded and financially not overpriced - national parks, a rum distillery and so on. - always rounded off in the evening with perfect hotels and lodges. No matter if the overnight stay was in a rustic jungle camp, in a 5 star lodge in the middle of a canyon or a colonial bungalow on the beach: service and accommodation were always excellent. However, one should never forget that one is in one of the poorest countries in the world and also encounters a different mentality, which leads to differences in the standard of accommodation and services that one may be used to at home. Finally one makes a journey also therefore, in order to experience evenly different? Klaus offers in Antananarivo at the beginning and at the end of a round trip always his private domicile - which is also equipped with comfortable bungalows - as accommodation. You can start and end your trip there in a pleasant atmosphere: together with him and his family (hello Nicole!). Klaus speaks French and Madegassian, has lived on the island for 18 years, and by his own admission has still not seen and experienced everything Madagascar has to offer! We have been able to experience him as a perfect mediator between us as visitors and the locals, who is highly appreciated by the Madegasses themselves and who employs an outstanding team of drivers and guides (I would especially like to highlight Adaffi and Anja - best regards from Austria!!!). Without exaggeration I may claim that we were able to experience Madagascar so intensively only because of the service of Klaus and his team. In this sense, I can only express the unrestricted recommendation for anyone who wants to visit Madagascar: "Klaus is the man with the plan!"

Dear Nicole, dear Klaus After three weeks in Madagascar, everyday life has caught up with us again. We are still living off the incredible impressions we brought back with us. Together with Leonid, our perfect driver, who picked us up at the airport and accompanied us until the last day, Dauphin, our German-speaking guide from the rainforest, who knowledgeably explained plants, animals and customs of the population, we were a great team in the four-wheel drive car. You combined the few places I had given you to an eventful trip with well-chosen accommodations, from the Kirindy Lodge in the simplest version to the Isalo Rock Lodge with 4 star standard. The adventurous drive to Bekopaka through several mud holes was an experience in itself, thanks to Leonid who has his car perfectly under control. The trekking tour in Andrigitra NP was well organized by our guide Gege (?), the two nights in the tent with evening campfire in the hut are unforgettable, as well as the two evenings in the fantastically located Tsarasoa Lodge with spontaneous musical accompaniment. In Isalo NP we followed Klaus' tip and explored the area from Isalo Rock Lodge, saving us the official park entrance fee. We did not regret it, the region around the lodge, including the small village, is gigantic. Under these impressions we forgot to book our return flight from Toliara to Tana in time. No problem for Klaus, he organized the return trip with Leonid and an overnight stay in Antsirabe at short notice. Thank you very much for the great organization and your hospitality in Villa Sybille. Best regards Peter and Christa... Collapse

Dear Klaus, dear Nicole, Luckily we came across your website after booking our horseback riding vacation in Madagascar (May 2016) and you provided us with more wonderful days before and after. Without your help we would not have seen so much of the island, let alone had any idea where we could stay and how long we need to get there and how to get away again :-). Your stories, Klaus, about the customs, culture and flora of the island have made the vacation much richer. We will definitely come back and are super curious to see more of the island AND of course meet you and your team again!

Dear Klaus, dear Nicole You have made a journey possible for us that was like leafing through a big picture book, opening up new landscapes again and again and providing breathtaking insights. Thank you both very much! We appreciate very much how well you were able to read out from our mail exchange what was important to us and then translated that into the planning of a great three-week trip. The suggested rhythm of staying and driving was really well done. Initially, I was rather skeptical to follow the RN 7 with a rental car and a driver, because we, as Sahara experienced self-drivers, like rough terrain a lot and actually prefer to move autonomously. But it was good. Very good, in fact. As tragic as it is for the country's population that the central transport axes are not better maintained, we enjoyed the not-too-fast progress. Leonid is a prudent and very attentive driver who was able to respond well to our requests. Since we were the first ones he was touring with all by himself, information sometimes came very spontaneously. Or not. But Leonid certainly has the potential to be an excellent guide. His friendly and unobtrusive manner will surely be enjoyed by other Vazahas. Our highlights? Difficult to say. There were so many. Maybe the trek up Bic Boby in Andringitra Park with the nights in the tent and Gege's excellent cooking, the 250 pirogues with their fishermen right next to the Hotel Belle Vue in Ifaty, the river trip on the Canal des Pangalanes during a terrific cloudburst. Most likely we will come again. We are impressed and have become very fond of the country and people. Frauke and Erich... 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.
