Two friends and I took an 8-day trip with Andry from Tana, down the Tsiribihina River, through the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park and on to Morondava in September 2008. Not only did Andry expertly tailor the trip to our requirements before we arrived, but his guiding skills (birds in particular) and camp cooking were superb – the honey-glazed zebu brochettes are legendary! The river trip in particular was fantastic but a less known highlight Andry arranged was at the little Tsingy – if you’re up for it try the 7-hour ‘sportif’ trek, including abseiling deep under the Tsingy. The professionalism of Andry’s tour benefits from his extensive local knowledge and contacts, which ensures he employs the best boatmen (Remy’s arms of steel), park guides (Narcis the bird man) and drivers (Tina you’re some man!). However, the best recommendation I can give for Andry is that once the tour is over he is still on hand (or at the end of a telephone) to give advice, recommend people and places, or just have a beer and bbq at his local village. Great tour, great guy – all the best for next season! I’ll be back. |

Andry organized our travel this summer for 7 days down the Tsiribihina river. He accompanied us on the 1st day and made sure we were in good hands. We had an excellent time thank to his and his cousin Jimmy's organization. We can recommend him as a fund, friendly, flexible and reliable tour guide! Thanks a lot! |

My wife and i spent our honeymoon in Madagascar. Andry was our guide for a fantastic 9 day tour down the Tsiribihina River and the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park. Andry's knowledge in all areas of Madagascar is exceptional, especially on the birds, which was excellent as my wife works for the RSPB. He puts in 100% into making it a trip to remember. Being a tour guide for Andry isn't just a job or career, it is something he is really passionate about. Not only that he also helped organise a driver (Daz) for us when we got back to Tana (who was also absolutely fantastic.) to take us to Andasibe, up to Ile St Marie, wait for us and then drive us back to Tana. His English is fantastic and he picks the best local people (guides, boatmen, drivers) to work with. I definitely recommend Andry as your tour guide |

I travelled to Madagascar in April 2008 with Andry as my guide. I had a fabulous time, and his experience and knowledge added so much to the tour. I was very impressed with his organisation and service, and all the people who he worked with, including the driver and the boatmen. The Tsiribihina river trip was amazing, the highlights for me were the waterfall and the last day when we walked with the zebu cart. Andry was one of the best guides I met in all of Africa - everything was organised beautifully, and was of a high standard. His English was the best I heard in Madagascar. I would definitely recommend Andry, he will go to any lengths to ensure you have an enjoyable trip. In particular, I appreciated that he employs locals for his trips, and treats everyone with respect. Oh, and his cooking on the river was excellent! |

Andry guided us on an 11 day trip down the Tsiribihina River and the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in September 2007. Thanks to Andry and his team we had a fantastic time. One of the best things about the trip was Andry's extensive knowledge of his country and its wildlife and his passion to share this with us. Another great thing was the care he took to make sure we got to experience everything at its best. And his cooking was delicious! His 23 day birding trip is on our wish list... |

We spent a wonderful week (our honeymoon!) with Andry last year which included theTsiribihina river trip. Andry is very knowledgeable about his country and the wildlife and he worked very hard to ensure we had a very memorable time. His cooking skills are fantastic, we've never eaten so well while camping! His attention to hygiene and to our safety is also particularly worth mentioning. We would throughly recommend him as a guide. |

Andry was our guide for 2 1/2 weeks in May, 2008. We HIGHLY recommend him. He is professional, affable, intelligent, knowledgeable and entirely reliable. He went above and beyond in taking care of us. His English is excellent, as well. And Madagascar was a fantastic trip! Please e mail if you have questions or would like more details on our trip to Madagascar! |

My husband and I went to Madagascar in October last year. We did also visit the Tsingy National Park, which is a Unesco World Heritage site. It is one of the largest and most spectacular protected areas in Madagascar. We did book a private tour for 4 days, with a private guide and driver. Our guide Andry was a very reliable and knowledgeable guide. He did everything to make our visit to the Tsingy unforgettable. It was a great experience for us and we were very lucky and content with our guide Andry. He is doing a great job and we hope that many tourist will come to Madagascar to experience this wonderful country with his wonderful people. Thanks a lot, Andry |

In June, 2007 we went on a two week vacation in Madagascar with Andry as our tour guide. The highlights of our trip included travelling down the Tsiribihina River, exploring the Tsingy of Bemaraha and “indri-watching” at the Perinet Reserve (Andasibe). It was everything we expected and more…beautiful scenery, an amazing variety of flora and fauna, floating down the river in a dugout canoe, camping, hiking and bathing at a waterfall. It was a wonderful family adventure. We enjoyed great food everywhere we went, whether it was in restaurants or prepared by Andry when we were camping along the river. This was definitely one of the most interesting and enjoyable trips we have ever been on, thanks to Andry, who did everything possible to make our stay memorable. We found him to be a knowledgeable guide, a fantastic cook, and ready to tailor our trip to suit our needs. He speaks fluent English and French, and is learning Italian, too. We are only sorry we couldn’t have stayed longer and seen more of Madagascar. We would definitely recommend Andry as a tour guide if you are planning a trip anywhere in Madagascar. |

Nel mese di giugno del 2007 abbiamo fatto due settimane di vacanza in Madagascar. Andry era la nostra guida. I momenti più memorabili del viaggio sono stati la discesa del fiume Tsiribihina, la visita al parco Tsingy di Bemaraha e la camminata nella riserva del Perinet (Andasibe) alla ricerca degli indri. È andato tutto come speravamo ed anche meglio … panorami indimenticabili, la sorprendente varietà di flora e fauna, la discesa del fiume in canoe ricavate da enormi tronchi d’albero, i campeggi sotto le stelle, le numerose camminate ed anche una doccia sotto la cascata. È stata una bellissima avventura per tutta la famiglia. Il cibo è sempre stato eccellente, sia nei piccoli ristoranti dove ci siamo fermati lungo la strada che durante il viaggio lungo il fiume quando era Andry a prepararlo. È stato certamente uno dei viaggi più interessanti e memorabili che abbiamo fatto, anche grazie ad Andry, che ha fatto di tutto per renderlo piacevole. Sempre disponibile a fornirci spiegazioni sui luoghi visitati e a proporci piccoli aggiustamenti all’itinerario in funzione dei nostri interessi, nonché ottimo cuoco. Oltre al francese parla un ottimo inglese e sta anche imparando l’italiano. L’unico dettaglio migliorabile del nostro viaggio è stato la durata … ci sarebbe piaciuto rimanere più a lungo per vedere altre parti del paese. Se pensate al Madagascar come ad una possibile meta delle vostre future vacanze e vi piace il contatto con la natura e la gente del luogo, Andry è la vostra guida ideale. |

Early this year we had the good fortune to have Andry as our guide for 10 days while we toured Madagascar. Andry was very knowledgable about his country, history, wildlife and accommodation. As important as that was his care about our safety, health and enjoyment. His honesty was above reproach. We can recommend him without reservation for an outstanding travel experience. |

Last autumn I was on the river and at the Tsingy with Andry. It was not my first time in madagascar - but Andry is the best guide I ever had. I never saw so much animals and rare plants as under his guidance. Next time , when I come back, I will make another trip with him. Absolutly trustable! With the best regards and the best wishes for your enterprise, Andry! |

W spent 5 wonderful days with Andry on the Tsiribihina river. He was a great guide who went out of his way to ensure we had a brilliant time and worked hard at showing us all the wildlife on the river banks. We just regretted we hadn't booked to stay on with him to trek in Tsingy National Park. This was a memorable trip with a very kind and dedicated guide. |
