The Madagascar round trip offers a well-structured experience with clear daily schedules, especially the river cruise on the Tsiribihina, which is supported by...

Translated from German · Show original

Die Madagaskar Rundreise bietet ein gut strukturiertes Erlebnis mit klaren Tagesabläufen, insbesondere die Flussfahrt auf dem Tsiribihina, die durch detaillierte Briefings unterstützt wird. Die Gruppengröße von maximal 16 Personen sorgt für einen effektiven Austausch. Die logistische Vorbereitung bei den Zeltübernachtungen und den Aufenthalt in Antananarivo und Morondava ist nachvollziehbar und ermöglicht eine angenehme Balance zwischen Abenteuer und Erholung. Nach der Tour wurde mir bewusst, wie wichtig technische Unterstützung in solch abgelegenen Regionen ist.
