Far exceeded our expectations. They are the BEST

Nov 2022 • Couples

We just spent an 18 day road trip with this company and could not of been more happy! It was just PERFECT in every way

From the initial contact to hellrina, he was professional and timely and sent an itinerary quickly for what we were looking for. We upgraded our rooms (highly recommend doing this ). We also added some internal flights which helped cut down on driving time which was very helpful
I was nervous about sending over a wire bank transfer for the deposit but hellrina has good reviews for a reason and he was trustworthy in all accounts so don’t worry about this part

The first section of our trip we had petty and Lorencia. Both spoke great English and petty was a very safe driver. They had a wonderful balance of being there for our every need but also giving us space to spend time alone during meals etc
After 4 days we flew to our second part of the trip and were with Hassin (guide) and sulufo (driver). I have worked in hospitality for over 20 years and I mean it when I say that I have never felt so taken care of by these two guys. They kept us safe comfortable and engaged for 14 days! Hassin was always there for me to make sure I wouldn’t trip or fall on some hard spots (I have some mobility issues). I thought he was very caring and I appreciated it! Sulufo is a great driver and on these crazy roads you need someone who is alert and can defensively drive in a safe way. I thought he did this superbly .Make sure to request this fantastic duo

Madagascar is incredible and hard all at once. I do not recommend trying to do it on your own. It’s much safer with guides and a lot less headache. Rest assured if you book with hellrina you will be happy and satisfied! I think gadventure , intrepid and National Geographic overcharge. We did a much better itinerary and when we did see these groups, we were at the same hotels etc. you are just paying for a brand and hardly any of the money goes to madagascar. I recommend booking with a local operator like hellrina. He quoted a very fair price . Feel free to message me if you ever have more questions on specifics.

Make sure you include the visit to the village where you spend the night. It’s a hard hike but was an amazing life changing experience

Thank you hellrina for making our bucket list dream come true and for keeping us safe and happy
