点评:Being in Masoala is an unforgettable experience.
We felt lucky to have Lauriot (visit.masoala@gmail.com) as our English-speaking organiser during our trip with our 10-year-old child. Getting to Masoala is an adventure in itself: our ferry, the Melissa Express, from Tamatave (Foulpointe) to Maroantsetra was delayed by five days due to bad weather. While we waited, Lauriot arranged an alternative programme in both Tamatave and the beach town of Foulpointe, perfectly balancing activities and relaxation.
When we finally reached Maroantsetra after a 14hrs nocturnal boat trip, we enjoyed three unforgettable days in Masoala. Masoala is calm, authentic, and wild. Thanks to our guide, Claudio, we encountered lots of animals during our day and night hikes. He taught us a lot about the flora as well.
It’s worth noting that Masoala (and Madagascar’s east coast in general) is very rainy in July and August, which can make spotting animals more challenging and may limit activities. For example, it was too wet for kayaking or swimming. If you prefer drier conditions, September to December is a better choice.
We stayed at Dounia Lodge — comfortable accommodation with great food. It is situated right next to entrance of the national park. On our way back, we stopped at Nosy Mangabe for a final hike before ending our journey in Maroantsetra where we took the flight back to Antananarivo.
Lauriot maintained a truly tailor-made approach from start to finish, ensuring that — together with his team — this trip became an unforgettable experience.
翻译:在马索亚拉的旅程是一次难忘的经历。我们很幸运,在带着10岁孩子的旅程中,有Lauriot(visit.masoala@gmail.com)担任我们的英语导游。前往马索亚拉本身就是一次冒险:我们从塔马塔夫(富尔波因特)前往马鲁安采特拉的渡轮“梅丽莎快车”号因恶劣天气延误了五天。在等待期间,Lauriot为我们安排了在塔马塔夫和海滨小镇富尔波因特的替代行程,完美地平衡了活动和休闲。
经过14个小时的夜间乘船之旅,我们终于抵达了马鲁安采特拉,在马索亚拉度过了难忘的三天。马索亚拉宁静、原始、充满野性。感谢我们的导游Claudio,我们在白天和夜间的徒步旅行中遇到了许多动物。他还教给我们很多关于植物的知识。值得注意的是,马索阿拉(以及马达加斯加东海岸)七月和八月雨水充沛,这会使观赏动物更加困难,并可能限制活动。例如,天气过于潮湿,不适合划皮划艇或游泳。如果您喜欢干燥的天气,九月到十二月是更好的选择。
我们住在Dounia Lodge——舒适的住宿和美味的食物。它就在国家公园入口旁。回程途中,我们在诺西曼加贝(Nosy Mangabe)短暂停留,进行了最后一次徒步旅行,然后在马鲁安采特拉(Maroantsetra)结束了旅程,之后我们乘飞机返回塔那那利佛。
Lauriot 从始至终都秉承着真正量身定制的服务方式,与他的团队一起确保这次旅行成为一次难忘的体验。
