Customer reviews

There is no place on Earth like Madagascar, home to an incredible array of flora and fauna evolved from 80 million years of isolation in the Indian Ocean.

This unforgettable adventure goes in search of the island’s unusual wildlife and gives a fascinating insight into the unique Malagasay culture.

Please note: Madagascar is a rewarding destination and tourism is still in its infancy, so we have selected the best available accommodation for this tour. On some departures you will stay at Sahambavy on days 5 and 6, and Ranomafana on days 7 and 8.

If you're happy walking for three or four hours a day and you don't mind steep slopes and rough ground, these moderately-paced tours should be perfect for you. This rating also applies to some of our Active Explorer cruises, as there will be gangplanks and ladders to negotiate.
