Our Madagascar tour was just amazing. The extra gear we rented worked really well and Kirsten was available to assist us every step of the way until we got the hang of it (and after that!). Highlights were the Avenue of the Baobabs, the wildlife down south at Berenty and of course the forest walks at Andasibe. The calling Indris is something we won't forget. The Aye-aye location was beautiful along the lake! The trip was perfectly arranged for photographers, with a reliable ground team and good communication. Thanks again to the team. I will share images soon.
