Hi Derek.
Your name was very often on our lips during the last couple of weeks and we are still full to bursting with memories of our very special trip.
Everyone agreed it was THE holiday of a lifetime and couldn't have been better. We fell in love with the country and its people and feel refreshed and empowered as a result. The Lodge is amazing and I will be writing soon to all at Rainbow with a full review. Feedback forms are never adequate for all I have to say.
Apart from the unfortunate incident of Denis's rucksack we were blown away from the moment we arrived at the airport to fly into Anjajavy. All 9 of us, we were captivated from the first sightings of not only lemurs (We saw Aye-Aye) snakes etc but most of all the warmth and courtesy of the staff, villagers. This is in no small part due to the superlative management and their success in developing harmony and tranquillity on the Reserve.
The scenery is magical and the Lodge a shining example of how "tourism" can be developed for the benefit of local communities as well as those who are lucky enough to visit.
i could write a book, but suffice for the moment to say a big THANK YOU to you and all the Rainbow staff for pointing us in the right direction and organising the trip.
We will never forget the experience and will be contributing regularly to MFM as the best way to express our gratitude to an amazing country and its people.
Wishing you all the best and I'll be in touch as soon as I have written my spiel.
Kindest regards,
Ruth and Family
