" Our trip to Masoala with Ursula as our guide was simply unforgettable. She speaks excellent German, knows the area inside out, and has a wonderful sense of humor that made every moment enjoyable. Ursula took care of absolutely everything — from organizing transport to arranging our stay in a charming little hut right in the heart of nature. The highlight was not just the breathtaking scenery, but also the food — we had our own personal cook, and every meal was a delight. Ursula’s attention to detail and deep knowledge of Masoala’s wildlife, culture, and hidden gems made the experience both seamless and incredibly special. If you want a perfectly organized, fun, and insightful tour through one of the most beautiful places on Earth, we can’t recommend Ursula enough! "

" Nice to hear from you, I hope you’re doing well. I often think back to our last trip, which did have some special moments (the canceled flight, but then the boat tour as a bonus). Unfortunately, I still haven’t identified a lot of the observations from that trip, but at least I’ve made some progress with the orchids. Some of the species that I was able to identify quite quickly I’ve published on iNaturalist, but many more are still waiting to be processed. In the meantime, I also went once more to the Comoros in December 2024, and last Friday we returned from the Faroe Islands. You’re very welcome to have pictures from me. Through the following link you’ll find all my observations from Masoala that I uploaded to iNaturalist. You’re free to download and use them. "
