Madagascar (Bemanevika/Lac Matsaborimena) (1 Viewer)

Hello everyone. I am an avid owler who is heading out to Bemanevika/Lac Matsaborimena to look for Madagascar red owl. This is an amazing site with the pochard, serpent-eagle and many other fantastic birds. I am renting a 4wd and driver leaving Tana on the morning of September 6th and returning to Tana on the evening of the 13th of September. If you would like a ride and are willing to share the vehicle costs (60 euros plus fuel per day), you are welcome to join me.

The vehicle is a Nissan Pathfinder/Toyota landcruiser, so there should be room for the driver, myself and 3 others.

Cheers, Iain
 
Hi Iain, it sounds fun. But I wouldn't want to go all the way to Madagascar just for a week. Is it feasible to extend the trip to Masoala or to sites in the south? I suppose that €60 plus fuel per day is not prohibitive even for just one person, but was wondering if you had any thoughts?

Hi Rob, alas I just have a week. I could put you in touch with the rental company if you want to extend the period it's being rented for. You can contact me directly at iaintom it's a gmail address.

Cheers, Iain
