Before you send me a private message or an email, please note that I AM HAPPY TO give private advice WHEN MY TIME ALLOWS, but if it is a question that would be better put out to the wider forum for input by others then my answer may just be to recommend that you do that. Thanks and enjoy planning your Madagascar adventure.
