- —Bob Edwards who travelled on 70th Birthday Safari Celebrations
This safari way exceeded our expectations in every way; the wildlife experiences were amazing & will remain with me forever. Everything was a ten-out-of-ten.
- —Gillian McArthur who travelled on Kenya and Mombassa Safari and Beach
We greatly enjoyed our trip. Our arrangements in Mauritius were good and Lakaz Chamarel was great! Everything went well in Réunion and we greatly enjoyed the helicopter trip. Madagascar was great, particularly our guide Njiva who accompanied us on our road trip from Tana to Andasibe, Ranomafana and down through Isalo to Tulear. Definitely impressed by him. He went out of his way to make our trip very successful. Air Madagascar did not prove problematical at all - in fact we took off 20 minutes early one flight. Charter flights were good. We loved most of the accommodation here – Masaola Forest Lodge,
