Summary:
My brother and I had a fantastic experience with Sudmadatrek creating a custom 11 day itinerary throughout South/Southwest Madagascar for us. Tiana was my contact throughout the booking and the entire trek. He was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the process and immediately answered any questions/concerns I had during the trip itself. The trek itself was fantastic and we got to see so many different flora, fauna, and landscapes during our almost 2-weeks in Madagascar. I really appreciated all the hard work that went into planning our trip and setting up all our lodgings and activities.
Faly was our driver during the entire trip. He took great care of us and we really enjoyed the time we spent with him. He made several extra stops for us and took extra time to answer all our questions and explain lots about the local people and their customs. He always made sure we were comfortable at our lodgings and if we had any issues he immediately made them right.
Last but not least I have to mention Xavier. We had an exceptional time with him during our three days hiking and camping in Isalo National Park. He took care of everything we needed and was a pleasure to talk to and kick back with after some long days of hiking. Also, Our cook/porter (I believe it was Modesta) made some amazing meals for us while we were camping in Isalo.
Thanks again, for the great trip and letting us see so many parts of your beautiful country!

Summary:
I spent a week in Nosy Be with my daughter and it was a wonderful holiday from all points of view, nature, people, sea, village. I recommend doing the beautiful excursions with Cosimo Cael, one of the beach boys, because they are of the highest quality and definitely cheaper than those organized by the village. Cosimo is very kind, speaks perfect Italian, provides explanations during tours and organized lunches during excursions with him are literally exquisite. Excursions with him can be booked from Italy by writing on whatsapp at +261326834419. Happy Madagascar everyone!Special land!

I was very satisfied with this tour. It is was great plan, everything went smooth and we were on time. It is really great option how to discover the south of Madagascar.
My guide was Fana and through all trip he shared with me many interesting facts and information about culture, religion, habits, nature (fauna&flora). I really enjoy it and learn a lot. As a driver I had very nice guys Mami who was safe to drive with specially when we sometimes were on unpaved roads.
