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 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! Thank you, thank you for the great help, bookings and ideas we could just blindly rely on! We will certainly recommend you to others. Very very dear greetings, Susann and Heike... Collapse

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 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 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... Margitta and Norbert... 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, 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

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

Dear Nicole, Dear Klaus, we would like to thank you again for the unforgettable vacation with you. Far from all the tourist attractions we could get a wonderful insight into the country, the people and the wildlife. Every day was an adventure and all the impressions can hardly be described. So if you want to know more about the spectacular trip with Nicole and Klaus in Madagascar or if you need any tips, please feel free to contact us. Email: pami.steve.84@gmail.com Such a trip will never be forgotten! (small hint: Nicole and Klaus are supporting a village, so if you have some space left in your suitcase, take toys, pens, clothes, etc.) Dear Nicole, dear Klaus, thank you very much for your efforts and the great vacation. Pamela & Stephan... Collapse
