Diamondra, my guide in Ranomafana

July 21st 2011
I arrived in Madagascar for an 11-day trip in July (2011) with Zina from Za Tours waiting for me. After taking some money from an ATM we were off.

Serch information
Hello John, I like your photos. I practice also photography of nature. Diamondra was also our guide at Ranomafana in 2003 and we return to this reserve in few weeks, and I would like to contact him to know if he is free to guide us again. Please, do you have some telephone number or any adress? Excuse me if my english is not so good. I realy thank you for advance for all you could do for me in this situation. If you give me your e-mail, if you are interested, I can send you some photos of birds or insects, etc of Madagascar. Goog by.

Hi Jean-Michel, Sorry that I haven't been on here for a while and missed you. No, I don't think that I have contact information for Diamondra. You have probably already gone on your trip but I would recommend just asking for him when you go. I'm jealous of your return trip - hope you have/had fun!
