Madagascar is an excellent destination for flora, fauna and amazing scenery and meeting locals. Be prepared for serious heat.
The tents and sleeping mats were good. The food, entertainment and people taking care of us were excellent. Bowls of warm water to clean up after hikes and in the morning, and water and soap by the toilet, would be an asset.
Transportation was ok. Air conditioning, music and more stories from our guide during long drives would have been good.
Accommodation was good, like paradises hidden on our way.
Our guide met us at the airport which was fantastic! Told us a lot about the country and the wildlife, but I would have loved to hear more about the people. Made us feel safe, and was very friendly but could be more personable.
Absolutely fantastic other support guides.
The tipping kitty should have been made clear. It would have been nice to know where we might be able to buy a couple of souvenirs.
On the hike in Andringitra we saw no animals. It was a bare landscape but with beautiful rocks. No shade at all.
With the extreme heat, direct sun, and no shade, the trip should be rated more difficult than moderate.
