Dear Klaus, dear Nicole,
first of all: a trip with you two is not just a vacation, but an unforgettable experience that you will never forget in your life. We had three wonderful, fascinating, impressive and adventurous weeks with you two, which we will always remember. You certainly can't travel more individually and personally and Klaus and Nicole really fulfill all wishes, no matter how difficult or even impossible they may seem.
We felt incredibly comfortable and perfectly looked after for three weeks and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You really did everything to meet our wishes and to give us an unforgettable stay in Madagascar. It was like a trip with good friends and we have you to thank for that.
Through you we have seen many things and got to know places that the "normal tourist" never gets to see and also the many great conversations with you were a real highlight and we have learned infinitely much about the island. Thank you !
The only "disadvantage": Once you have traveled with Klaus and Nicole, you can not imagine a visit to Madagascar without them. At least we can't, because you can't make it any better and it can't be more individual and personal.
We can really recommend them to everyone and our expectations were more than exceeded!
The consequence: We would like to come absolutely once again to Madagascar, which we could not imagine before the journey actually. But if, then only with Klaus and Nicole!!!
Many thanks for everything say you both

Hello.
We arrived in Tana on July 9, full of anticipation of what would await us the next few days. Since it was our honeymoon, we asked Klaus to incorporate this into our planning and we were not disappointed. It was a perfect mix of sightseeing, hiking and relaxing moments for us. Our expectations and wishes were not disappointed but totally fulfilled. It was a very exciting time for us, where we were allowed to discover together with Klaus and Nicole, the special aspects of Madagascar. The many impressions that remained with us can not be put into words and must first be sorted. The life on Madagascar is simply unbelievable and touched us very much! A big thank you to Klaus and Nicole for the great preparation and accompaniment of our honeymoon. LG kathi and mario... Collapse

Full of expectation we landed on Madagascar. Before the trip we have read up a bit but and that said in advance, our expectations were exceeded by far.
Since we were a very small travel group, we came very close to the people and nature and have seen and experienced what package holiday is certainly not granted. Nicole and Klaus have adapted to our wishes and thus the experience effect was very high.
For all those who are thinking about experiencing Madagascar up close, this is the right address.
Thanks to all who have contributed to the success of these beautiful days.
Many greetings Marion and Bernd... Collapse

ADDENDUM BY HARTMUT AND KERSTIN:
SUCH A VISIT TO MADAGASCAR IS SOMETHING FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SEE BEYOND THE USUAL LEVEL AND ARE SIMPLY CURIOUS TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
THEY WERE VERY NICE DAYS AND I THINK THEY ACTUALLY CHANGED ME A LITTLE BIT AND MADE ME MORE POSITIVE AND THOUGHTFUL.
WE WERE FOUR CURIOUS PEOPLE FROM HALLE / SAALE AND HAD ENOUGH TIME TO TALK TO EACH OTHER.
KERSTIN, ANNA AND THILO ALSO AGREE WITH MY OPINION AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU AGAIN:
DEAR NICOLE, DEAR KLAUS, THANK YOU FOR THE UNFORGETTABLE
TIME IN MADAGASCAR AND MAYBE WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN ONE DAY, WHICH WOULD MAKE US VERY HAPPY!!!... Collapse

Dear Klaus, dear Nicole, dear Adafi, dear Anja!
We would like to thank you once again very much for the wonderful trip through Madagascar. It was really an experience that we will never forget. This is mainly due to the perfect organization of our vacation. On the one hand, the communication still from home by e-mail worked wonderfully. Got an immediate response to all inquiries, which of course helped to immediately build a foundation of trust. My friend and I originally had an itinerary in mind - Klaus suggested a different tour as it allowed us to see more of the country and its diversity. We felt this was a very fair and customer-oriented gesture, because of course the professional on the spot can judge much better what is interesting for someone who has never seen the island. However, he could have simply planned the tour we requested without pointing out to us that there are nicer options.
On site everything worked smoothly as well. Klaus' driver Adafi and his girlfriend Anja picked us up from the airport - the two were also our companions on our tour, which took us from Tana via Antsirabe, Ranomafana, Fianarantsoa, Ambositra, Ranohira, Ifaty to Tulear and Sarondrano respectively. The nature and also the different workshops we visited were absolutely fascinating. Adafi is an excellent driver and absolutely reliable. He also speaks super English, which was invaluable for our communication with each other, but also with locals, since our French skills are rather modest :sigh: He and his girlfriend Anja were not only our drivers, but also guides, translators, advisors, storytellers, ... For our wishes there was always time including a suitable solution - no matter if this was "only" the sim card for my cell phone, the countless pictures because of which we had to stop, the local food we wanted to try or even a change of the travel plan at my request in the last second. Because of a flight change of Air Madagascar we were able to see Morondava with the beautiful avenue of Baobabs. For Adafi or Klaus it was absolutely no problem to change or extend the itinerary spontaneously. Many thanks again for that. Customer wishes are really important to Klaus and his staff. Adafi and Anja were also the best travel companions we could wish for. The two of them brought us closer to the Malagasy culture and its customs with numerous stories and explanations. Apart from that, the accommodations and restaurants that Klaus and Adafi chose for us were wonderful - we would like to especially highlight Eden Lodge in Sarondrano, an absolutely wonderful place to spend your vacation.
At the end we would like to say once again MISAOTRA for the hospitality, the cordiality, the interesting impressions, simply an unforgettable vacation! We will gladly recommend you and hopefully we will manage to visit this wonderful island again ourselves.

We were from 07.09. to 23.09.14 in Madagascar with Klaus and Nicole on the road. The two had prepared everything perfectly and selected very nice hotels. The itinerary was great and there was also time for little "extras". The route went from Tana via Antsirabe, Ialatsara, Manakara, Ranomafana, Ambalavao, Ranohira to Sarondrano. One highlight followed the other. At the end of the trip we were still two days with Klaus' driver Aina on the way to Andasibe. Aina is much more than just a driver. He also took care of us perfectly. So that we can say "An all around successful trip". We will keep many moving moments and extraordinary pictures in our hearts.
Thank you Klaus, Nicole and Aina... Collapse

Dear Klaus, dear Nicole,
an adventurous, eventful and insightful vacation lies behind us. Although my family had read well before, the impressions are not comparable with anything before, because we have seen and felt with the heart in a bitterly poor country. Thanks to your competence we were very close to the people and in wonderful nature. Your patience and empathy had a feel-good effect, so that it was/is a unique, lasting experience to be allowed to travel so exclusively. You make it possible. Many thanks to you two!!!... Collapse

Dear Klaus,
Dear Nicole,
a few weeks have now passed since we said goodbye in Madagascar and the daily routine in Luxembourg is keeping us firmly in check again.
Only slowly I can get used to the European meat cuisine again; I miss the zebus, in all their variety, very much.
So far, not a day has gone by that we haven't thought of you and the red island.
Madagascar has touched us deeply, not least because of you two.
Together we traveled in a Toyota Land Cruiser for 10 days from Antananarivo to Antsirabe, Ranomafana, Manakra, Ambalavao and back.
We saw great animals, marveled at breathtaking natural scenery and stayed in fantastic hotels with excellent food.
Particularly noteworthy is the remote Hotel La Vanille on the beach of Manakar. Back to basics is the motto there with just 2-3 hours of electricity and running water per day.
However, the hospitality, good food and fantastic location is priceless. The real luxury at La Vanille is that you are almost completely cut off from the outside world during the time you spend there. It is that luxury of deceleration, of coming to rest and of non-accessibility - dreamlike - and hardly imaginable in the western world.
Thanks to Klaus and Nicole, almost anything is possible in Madagascar. Whether it's a spontaneous paragliding flight in the mountains of Ambalavao or a bottle of French champagne in the bush, Klaus and Nicole make it possible.
We would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have made possible; you have provided us with an unforgettable honeymoon.
We had many expectations when we came to Madagascar and all of them were fulfilled. We took away wonderful memories and on top of that we made two wonderful new friends on the other side of the world.
We miss you very much and wish you all the best!

Our Madagascar trip is just 1 week behind us and the memories of these last 18 days are still very fresh.
We felt in very good hands with Klaus from the beginning of the booking and always provided with all information. Since the Konnerths in our case could not accompany the trip itself, so we would like to thank you for the excellent organization (itinerary, local accommodations) and especially our German-speaking (!) local guide and driver. We have experienced a wonderful and impressive 2.5 weeks. We will certainly remember what we have seen and experienced for a long time and of course the time in Madagascar has made us a bit pensive. It is amazing under which conditions the Madagascans live and how much friendliness, politeness, helpfulness and interest was shown to us 2 "Vazáha". (See part 2)... Collapse

Two professionals accompany. A trip with Klaus and Nicole is something very special. With the two Madagascans it was especially fun, because you really make an effort and know their business. All questions are answered and extras are absolutely no problem. Because Klaus speaks German, French and English and Nicole takes over the part of the Malagasy, one has no problem to travel through the country. Gladly the tourist is accompanied in all questions. One lives great and the guides, who take care of one in the national parks, are chosen by Klaus and Nicole according to one's wishes. What more could you want. A vacation with Klaus and Nicole is what you imagine. Namely: "Experience Madagascar with all senses". Many thanks to you two, for these beautiful weeks. Next year I will be there again. Madagascar must be visited again. Maybe even several times. Who knows.... Collapse

17 days that may have changed me!
WITH YOU NICOLE AND WITH YOU KLAUS I HAVE SEEN WHAT I WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED. CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN LIVE IN THE MOST BITTER POVERTY AND I MEAN THE MOST BITTER POVERTY. NEVERTHELESS THEY LAUGH, ARE CHEERFUL AND OPEN THEIR ARMS AND ARE HAPPY TO SEE US AND ALSO TO TOUCH US, BECAUSE WE ARE "DIFFERENT" FOR THEM. WE GOT TO KNOW THE INHABITANTS OF "VILLAGE 13" AND THE CHILDREN WHO CANNOT ATTEND SCHOOL BECAUSE THERE IS NO MONEY FOR THE TEACHER. WE HOPE WITH OUR PROJECT WE CAN HELP, BECAUSE ONLY EDUCATION CAN IMPROVE THEIR LIVES.
NICOLE & KLAUS, YOU ARE A GREAT COUPLE AND FANTASTIC GUIDES. I CAN ONLY ADVISE EVERY TRAVELER WHO WANTS TO EXPERIENCE MADAGASCAR UP CLOSE, RELY ON THE KONNERTH'S THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT YOU.
THESE DAYS WERE NOT A PAMPERING VACATION AND WE DID NOT INDULGE IN LUXURY. WE SUSPECTED WHAT WE WERE GETTING INTO, OUR PREMONITION WAS EXCEEDED!... Collapse

Dear Klaus, dear Nicole,
We have just finished the photo albums of our Madagascar trip. Thereby we were allowed to dive again into the fabulous time and let many experiences pass in review. It was really a great vacation and although it is almost 8 months ago, we think of it very often and still live on the impressions!
We hope to be able to explore the north and east soon and to learn more about the country and its people.
Until then, we send best regards from Munich to Antsirabe and again a big thank you for the professional travel management and the perfect personal care!

Hello together!
I would also like to post here my positive experience with Klaus and Nicole! My husband and I were with the two in the summer of 2010 for 5 weeks on the road and it was an unforgettable beeeindruckende trip. We were in the east, highlands, north and partly in the south on the road and the complete organization has worked out great (and that means in this country so many things ...). So if you don't want to travel with Taxi Brousse (which we personally don't recommend even to the most intrepid traveler), you can experience pure Madagascar with Klaus and Nicole!
Who would like to know more, can contact me at any time - to the given email address.... Collapse

Almost 3 months ago we were with Klaus and Nicole on Madagascar. It was our first accompanied trip and also our first African experience, from the beginning we had already noticed that in the country a German-speaking, competent and friendly company was not a luxury.
Already with the REisevorbereitu ng was the Klaus already very aufmersam and has constantly everything what in its possibilities stood around the REise to our desires to adapt.
It was without a doubt our most beautiful trip - many thanks to both of you.
By the way, great homepage!... Collapse
