Rija is an excellent guide for anybody who wants to explore Madagascar! In may 2007 we have had a great time on the Tsiribihinia River / Tsingy trip with Rija. Have a look at http://www.mpwillems.net for pictures and a travelogue (in Dutch) about our tour with Rija

We spent a wonderful month in Madagasacar on our honeymoon. Rija organised the first part of our stay there with a memorable river trip on the West Coast of the island near his home town of Morondava. We then spent the rest of our time climbing through the central highlands and visiting the islands off the East coast. Rija was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgable. We felt his tours offered a much more relaxed and authentic Madagascan experience than some of the other tour companies and Rija was definitely more competitive price wise. My abiding memory will be paddling down the river at sunset listening to Rija singing John Denver\\\’s \\\"Take Me Home, Country Roads\\\"...Good Luck with everything Rija. With Love Sophie and Will

We want to thank Rija and his team for the unforgettable effort they gave to make our trip so good. Rija organized our Madagascar travel for four weeks in Nov/Dec 2009, even the domestic flights. First we did the river trip in the West and visited the Tsingy with Rija himself. He’s a very good cook even for vegetarians ! Later we travelled from Toliary to Soanierana Ivongo with Mamy, one of his drivers. They both are very experienced, friendly and helpful. We know there are also other tour operators Madagascar that might be good but we can only speak of our own experience and we must recommend Rijatours. You will not regret it! If you want more information about our trip with Rijatours you can mail us hamlalfleur@home.nl The Netherlands

We spent three weeks in Madagascar during 09-10/2007. Most of the time we were accompanied with Rija\\\’s guides and I must tell that these guys (Jean-Claude, Dyna, Arsene & Mija) work very professionally. During our three trips (Tsiribihina+Tsingy, Ranomafana NP, East Coast) we got loads of new information that massively exceeds standard picture of an ordinary life on the island described in Lonely planet books and much more. Last but not least - since knowledge of french remains essential in most areas, you won\\\’t come in trouble as all Rija\’s guides speak very good english.Thanks!

Salame;October 2006 is marked as wonderful in our memory. Looking back we couldn\’t have made a better choice then let Rija help make our trip to Madagscar worthwhile. Not only is he a great cook (with enough food!!), he also appeared to be recognized as an authority by other guides. His knowledge on both fauna and flora made it more then just a lovely trip.
