Esperienza favolosa in Madagascar! Abbiamo passato 7 giorni immersi nella natura, incontrando lemuri di ogni specie, camaleonti e tanti altri animali. In questo breve ma immersivo tour che abbiamo fatto, oltre che alla natura abbiamo potuto conoscere anche un assaggio della cultura malgascia, visitando e incontrando abitanti di villaggi, riuscendo pure ad immergersi nella colorata Antananarivo. Eravamo in due più la guida ed il driver. La guida Lucien, parlava italiano perfettamente e grazie a lui è riuscito a farci appassionare al loro stupendo paese. Menzione speciale pure per il driver, capace di percorrere le affollate e difficili strade malgasce. Ogni scelta per il nostro viaggio, compresa quella degli alloggi è stata perfetta. Ringrazio nuovamente tutta l’organizzazione, sperando di poter tornare il prima possibile per un’immersione più lunga e approfondita del Madagascar.
