The request has now been taken care of, and I have already assisted with the internal flights booking.
Unfortunately I lost my immunization card and may have to start over. What shots would I need?
In response to your question regarding your lost immunization card, there is no need to worry. In most cases, it is not necessary to "start over." Please note that for travel to Madagascar, most vaccinations are precautionary rather than mandatory.
Is the accommodation always in hotels with private facilities? Is there a surcharge for a single room? How many hours are spent travelling each day?
All accommodations included in our tours are in hotels or lodges with private facilities, ensuring your comfort and privacy throughout the journey. For single occupancy, there is a single supplement of USD 800 for the entire tour.
There is no information on the web site advertisement about the Accommodation, Guide, or Transportation. Why? These are important parts of the information to know what to expect, and what quality I am paying for. What can you tell me?
