    This was an amazing trip really pushing the comfort zone and challenging. An opportunity to really see the countryside and the people of Madagascar who were all so friendly with broad smiles. At the hotel when there is no water on the system you need to remember many people in the street are having to carry their water home. The river trip was wonderful with so many birds and wildlife to watch and the guides and boatmen always concerned for your comfort and enjoyment. Willing to go at your pace and supporting and encouraging to complete any challenges. Wonderful memories.
