1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The whole trip was really enjoyable. It covered a large area of the country and allowed us to experience a number of different environments. A large incentive for any trip to Madagascar is to view the lemurs and we were fortunate enough to be able to experience them close up and even hand feed them at rescue centres and private reserves.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
There is a lot of travelling throughout the whole trip, but this is necessary to be able to experience the different scenery and climates. The days are long, but worth it for the whole experience. Be prepared for plenty of food. We were on a full board basis, which included 3-course meals for lunch and dinner.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, we felt our visit was benefitting the local people by the tourist money we were spending.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very enjoyable and we saw what we went to see.Jane Harrison review 1 Aug 2016

You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
