    Thank you for taking the time to share your review. While we're glad you had the opportunity to experience Madagascar, we're sorry to hear about the concerns you've raised. We aim to be as clear and transparent as possible in our itineraries. The first and last days are designated as the joining and concluding points of the tour, as our travelers arrive and depart at different times from around the world. Our Essential Trip Information includes guidance around general safety, and we recognize that, as with travel in any destination, there are certain inherent risks, particularly when meals are not included and travelers are exploring independently. While our trips are not marketed as luxury honeymoon experiences, we welcome honeymooners and all travelers seeking an immersive, small group adventure, something we strive to communicate throughout our materials. We’re truly sorry that your experience didn’t meet your expectations, and that you returned from your travels unwell. A member of our Customer Care team will be reaching out to you shortly to discuss your feedback in more detail.
