This was a very enjoyable trip. Our driver in Morandava was excellent and really good at driving on the bad roads. A truly memorable trip. He had limited English but we really enjoyed our time with him. He was helpful in giving advice in relation to how much we should pay for things in Morandava. Only negative was with our driver in Antananarivo. He collected us very early from our hotel to go to the palace. We arrived at the hotel at 1am and he picked us up at 10am. We would have no issue with this but for he had no plans with what to do with us! We went shopping and to the palace and finished at 1pm. Our flight was until midnight and he had no suggestions of what to do. Ultimately we went for lunch and more shopping. We finished at 4pm and he tried to drop us to the airport! 8 and half hours before our flight. He dropped us off in a Ibis hotel for a drink to pass time but we were so bored we went to the airport for around 7. We couldn't check into our flight for hours. I also paid extra for a night transfer because of our late flight. It's annoying because we could've stayed in the hotel and enjoyed the pool longer in the morning instead of starting at 10. The itinerary also states two dinners included but we received only one.Show more
