点评:Masoala National Park was the best part of our African adventure. Lauriot from visit.masoala@gmail.com made all arrangements to let us experience the different flavours of Maoantsetra. With perfect English he introduced us to this part of Madagascar.
Starting out from a simple beach hut with the sound of waves crashing few metres away, continuing with days at the proud Manga Beach, a Hotel from the colonial era enjoying a view over the river to settling at a wonderful lodge at the ocean a short walk from the park. There we stayed several days took in the local atmosphere, the market, playing soccer with the kids at the school nearby, the American researchers with kids eager for English speaking company, a hike to a secluded beach with our new friend, Herbert, a big dog who chose to spend the day with us and guard the kids in the water. Our guide found different kinds of lemurs and introduced us to the animals and plants of the rain forest. We also spent one night on the island Nosy Mangabe and experienced absolute darkness, the star-spangled sky of an island with no electricity accompanied by the sound of curious animals outside our tent in the night. Lauriot provided us with a private cook who made sure to vary local vegetables with wonderful dishes for the carnivores, the pescetar and the vegetarian.
Lauriot and our guide Serge who mostly spoke French, took care of everything and though their job was done and the trip officially, over they insisted on waiting at our flight (flying once a week) at the local airport. When the flight was postponed Lauriot stepped up and took us back to Maontsetra giving us the choice of going back to Hotel Manga Beach or a modern resort with resort. We preferred an extra night at our old hotel.
All in all we had a wonderful trip, almost an adventure.

翻译:马索阿拉国家公园是我们非洲探险之旅中最精彩的部分。来自 visit.masoala@gmail.com 的 Lauriot 为我们做了一切安排,让我们体验了毛安采特拉的不同风情。他用完美的英语向我们介绍了马达加斯加的这一部分。
从一间简陋的海滩小屋出发,几米外传来海浪拍打的声音,接着在骄傲的曼加海滩住了几天,这是一座殖民时代的酒店,可以欣赏到河景,最后在离公园不远的海边一间漂亮的小屋安顿下来。我们在那里住了几天,感受了当地的氛围、市场,和附近学校的孩子们踢足球,美国研究人员带着渴望说英语的孩子们,和我们的新朋友赫伯特一起徒步前往一个僻静的海滩,赫伯特是一只大狗,它选择和我们一起度过一天,在水中守护孩子们。我们的导游发现了不同种类的狐猴,并向我们介绍了雨林的动物和植物。我们还在 Nosy Mangabe 岛上住了一晚,经历了一片漆黑,没有电的岛上星光灿烂,夜晚帐篷外还有好奇动物的叫声。Lauriot 为我们安排了一位私人厨师,他确保为肉食者、鱼虾爱好者和素食者准备了各种当地蔬菜和美味佳肴。
Lauriot 和我们的导游 Serge 大部分时间都讲法语,他们把一切都安排得井井有条,虽然他们的工作已经完成,行程也正式结束了,但他们坚持要在当地机场等候我们的航班(每周飞行一次)。当航班推迟时,Lauriot 挺身而出,带我们回到了 Maontsetra,让我们选择回到 Hotel Manga Beach 或带度假村的现代度假村。我们更喜欢在原来的酒店多住一晚。
总而言之,我们度过了一次美妙的旅行,几乎是一次冒险。
