MADAGASKAR

Madagaskar Lemuren Chamäleon

Madagaskar ist das Sehnsuchtsziel für Reptilienfans und all jene die King Julien aus dem Film „Madagaskar“ besuchen wollen.
Abenteurer finden hier auch noch einsame Strände und intakte Natur(reservate). Das Madagaskar bisher von Touristenmassen verschont geblieben ist, hat jedoch Gründe. Die katastrophale Infrastruktur, Probleme bei der Kommunikation und Korruption sowie die Kriminalität macht Individual-Reisen auf Madagaskar schwierig. Auch Guides und Agenturen in Madagaskar sind nicht immer vertrauenswürdig.
Wer jedoch das Abenteuer und die Herausforderung sucht, wird beides hier finden.

South Pacific Dream 2.0

south pacific travel

The South Seas is not a destination for Europeans. The trouble of traveling is basically only worthwhile if you have a few months to get around there. Thirty-eight hours of travel from door to door. Of that, twenty-four hours of pure flight time and fourteen hours waiting time at the airports of Berlin, Frankfurt, Singapore and Brisbane.

North Spitsbergen – In search of Polar Bear & Pack Ice

arctic cruise polar bear spitsbergen

It was a wonderful sunny day in Longyearbyen when we made our way to the port. The little blue ship Plancius was already waiting for us at the pier. We watched how the luggade was craned on board, then it was time for us to walk up the gangway for the very first time. Hotel manager Zsuzsanna welcomed us and the friendly Philippine crew showed us to our cabins. We had some time to explore the ship before we all gathered in the lounge for an introduction to the ship and a safety briefing by first officer Miia. Then the lines were cast off and we were under way, our adventure had begun. The colourful houses of Longyearbyen grew smaller and we sailed out into the Isfjord. The next program point was the practical part of the lifeboat drill. Equipped with warm clothes and our bright orange life jackets we first mustered in the lounge and then went out on deck to inspect the lifeboats. Let´s hope that we will never have to see them from the inside again. After the drill we were in for a treat: The Captain´s Cocktail. We met our Russian captain Andrei Zybin and toasted with him and the expedition team to successful and safe voyage.
