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
