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
