    Angela & James –

    We just wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our tailor made Andisabe package with Heri as our driver and guide. Andisabe was excellent with great lemur sightings and we really enjoyed the walks that we did including a night walk where we did manage to spot some night lemurs. The Eulophiella Lodge was lovely and quiet and we were kind of glad that we weren’t at a really busy place. The staff there looked after us very well and the meals were lovely too. Beautiful setting and we could also hear the lemurs call in the morning. Heri our driver and guide was lovely guy, knowledgeable and looked after us very well.

    Our hotel in Tana – Les 3 Metis – was lovely and we would happy to recommend them – their restaurant served excellent food and the staff were also very nice. While not a lot of English is spoken we had no problems there. We were also able to store our extra luggage with them while we went off on our tour.

    We’d love to see something more of Madagascar in the future – a beautiful and fascinating country and we only saw a very small part of it.

    Thank you again for making our travel arrangements Ruth and we would be happy to use Jenman again in our future African travels.

    With kind regards and best wishes

    Angela & James
