An excellent trip that I highly recommend, giving the opportunity to see some unique lemurs, reptiles and insects up close and walk and camp in remote unspoiled areas. Every day brought something different and surprising experiences that felt authentic and non-touristy. Aside from the wildlife spotting, there are lots of highlights for me including walking in an area nicknamed the 'small grand canyon', being amazed by ancient baobab trees in the spiky forest, visiting a village market (a popular meeting place for brightly dressed locals) and a bustling zebu cattle market. There were some long journeys at times but this was necessary in order to see the wide-ranging landscapes and wildlife. With scenery that went from paddy fields, to rain forests to rocky mountain terrain and dry sandy terrain and coastlines, the views outside the minibus and 4x4s were never dull. Being led by a brilliant local leader who was so knowledgeable and willing to help whenever needed, the holiday was really enjoyable.
