点评:I have traveled Madagascar North to South, East to West and my favorite national park is the pristine Masoala National Park on the northeast peninsula by the same name. It is the island's largest protected area and the lush rainforest, abundant wildlife and beautiful beaches make a visit to the region a must. It takes some effort and careful planning to get there, land/water travel is possible but, the once a week (Monday) Madagascar Airlines is an excellent option. I highly recommend contacting local tour operator Lauriot of Visit Masoala. His home is in the town of Maroantsetra, the start and end of a visit to Masoala. He will work with you in planning your stay; communication via email was excellent. I chose a 7 night/6 day package that included a night camping on Nosy Mangabe and three nights in a community run lodge in the village at the entrance to Masoala National Park. Joining Lauriot and myself were the outstanding cook Julian and excellent naturalist guide Claudio. As a solo traveler, I was in very good hands. This was my second visit to Masoala, the first was three years ago and I chose the upscale Masoala Forest Lodge, a lovely experience but expensive. This time around, I found staying in the local village an even richer, more rewarding experience. Lauriot put it all together at a reasonable cost!
翻译:我游遍了马达加斯加,从北到南,从东到西,最爱的国家公园是位于东北部同名半岛上的原始马索阿拉国家公园。它是岛上最大的保护区,拥有茂密的热带雨林、丰富的野生动物和美丽的海滩,绝对值得一游。前往马索阿拉需要花费一些时间和精力进行周密的计划,虽然陆路和水路交通都可行,但每周一班的马达加斯加航空公司是一个绝佳的选择。我强烈推荐联系当地的旅行社老板劳里奥特(Lauriot),他的公司是Visit Masoala。他的家在马罗安采特拉镇,这里是马索阿拉之旅的起点和终点。他会协助你规划行程;通过电子邮件沟通非常顺畅。我选择了一个7晚6天的套餐,其中包括在诺西芒加贝岛露营一晚,以及在马索阿拉国家公园入口村庄的社区旅馆住宿三晚。与劳里奥特同行的还有出色的厨师朱利安和优秀的自然向导克劳迪奥。作为一名独自旅行者,我感到非常安心。这是我第二次来马索阿拉,第一次是三年前,当时我选择了高档的马索阿拉森林小屋,体验很棒,但价格昂贵。这次,我发现住在当地村庄的体验更加丰富,也更有意义。劳里奥特酒店把一切都安排得井井有条,而且价格合理!
