9-tägige Highlights von Madagaskar

Madagascar October 20222 I had already done 3 trips with Exodus, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Galapagos, Kenya and Tanzania safari all of which were fantastic holidays so I expected the same from Madagascar. Unfortunately this was not the case and the holiday was awful. The leader had limited knowledge of English and often looked at me blankly when I asked a question which led to problems. Also she was dictatorial and never discussed with me what I would be allowed to do. The amount of effort put into this expensive holiday did not have the rewards expected. The travel times suggested in the trip notes were inaccurate because of the terrible potholes and competition from articulated lorries for the same piece of road. Thus we arrived later than expected at our destination for thaat night, leaving no time for relaxation. The only optional excursion offered was snorkelling on Nosey Ve which 3 members of the party did whilst the rest of us huddled under a makeshift sunshade because of the extreme heat. We had to buy a meal for lunch since there were no supermarkets available so with the evening meal and the £50 for tips this further increased the cost. The second week was a total waste of time with no wildlife. Most of the party had bouts of illness at some stage of the trip. I would advise visiting a zoo to see Lemurs instead of wasting money and effort on this trip. The response from Exodus to my complaints was to offer me £150 off a future trip which I could have had by booking another trip by the end of December.
