New for 2016, Travelling Madagascar Without a Guide focuses on traversing the country on a budget. The more popular destinations in the country see tourists arriving by package tour with rented vehicles and guides accompanying them for the entire journey. Matthew Sorel describes a stunning route to take by road over three weeks and lists various methods to reach each destination without a package tour and how to do so on a budget.
A detailed day-by-day guide lists what to expect en route and on arrival without having the luxury of an all-inclusive tour making the arrangements for you. You'll find information on how to arrange transport and access parks when you may not have a rented 4x4 waiting for you at all times. Each section also lists potential pitfalls to avoid and ensure a stress-free trip of a lifetime. As you are on a budget, standard prices are thoroughly listed throughout alongside currency conversions and a breakdown of costs that may not be obvious when paying on the day.
Sorel lived and worked in the country for over a year and has planned many routes across the country for himself and others, including the journey described in this book. All of the experiences, research, collected notes and advice from that time have been thoroughly collated with stunning illustrated maps and photographs from this route to make Travelling Madagascar Without a Guide the essential travel companion for anyone even considering organising any of their own travel in Madagascar.
