As a solo female traveler, I pick my guides very carefully, and I was not disappointed with my choice for a 2 day stay, including overnight camping on Nose Mangabe for a very reasonable rate (approximately £125 total). Jean Emile speaks excellent English, is so informative about the plants, animals, insects etc. He was great company and extremely patient with this old girl. He amazed me with his knowledge and especially his ability to find the wildlife on our hikes on the island. He organised everything I needed for the park, from permits, transfer boat, a tent with comfortable mattress & sleeping bag, and he is even a great cook so I enjoyed all the meals he provided. I am very happy to recommend Jean Emile to anyone who wants to see this amazing part of Madagascar, for short trips or long hikes through Masoala National Park. See more..
